The difference between you and the people you think you're better than is that they actually accomplished something, not just talked about it. Also, Barry Jenkins won an Oscar, dickweed. You have a long way to go till "Best Picture".
Want to be better? Do something. Directing a mediocre movie is a thousand times bigger of an accomplishment then talking about directing a great one and never doing it.

hey im sorry u took it personal buddy, im not underminin jenkins (even tho his art is mediocre at best imo)
i just realized this a few weeks ago, that i could be some1 if i tried, and i want to try, and i already have made contacts to accomplish that goal.
And it will take time, but i srsly think that if im half as smart and/or good as i perceive, i could get there in a year, to the oscar worthy lvl of quality of art but not a film, im thinkin a short-documentary to start, im aware of how many years i would need to be like the ppl i admire: malick, kubrick, scorsese, refn, kurosawa, etc....
Literally my insecurities have been keeping me down since adolescence, at least im realizing that, i've always been able of doing something "great", or amazing intellectually wise(IMO). But before i start doing the real work i wont be able to tell, or till some1 i respect enough acknowledges the great in my thot proces or the way i think-sense the world.
But that is like IMPOSSIBLE for me to imagine, my ideas are way too big compared to the image ive had of myself for so many years..........
feels hypomanic man xdd
That has been my background for years

>doesn't admire Jodorowsky, Weerasethakul, or even David Lynch
Watch more arthouse films, then you can pretend you know shit about film direction. Seeing as those are the directors you admire the most and that you haven't even made a short film yet, you're probably a youth filmmaker-tier director
