When Julius Caesar was in his 30s, he gazed up at a statue of Alexander the Great he was passing and began to weep. When asked why he wept, he explained that when Alexander was in his 30s he had already conquered the world.
This was around 10 years before Caesar conquered Gaul, and about 15 or so years until he was the undisputed ruler of the Roman Empire.

Caesar didn't need to be Alexander, he needed to be Caesar.
You don't need to be Orson Welles, you need to be (You).

are you dead if you haven't been born?

It's a hundred times more difficult to make it in the movies now compared to in his time. Making any movie is a giant money sink so you need to make money off the movie if you want to keep your artistic freedom, let alone continue making movies. Now let's say you make something way above average, you still need to make money off it. Good luck getting the average person to pay for your indie movie when they have a thousand other sources of cheaper entertainment.

hopefully I die in my sleep tonight

Look at Shane Carruth. You can make a great film and then you might get some bigger budget. Even in the past directors got screwed making films. Look at any Welles' film post CK. Look at Stroheim. Look at Dreyer, who had almost decade long gaps from 1930s onward since he could not get financing. Look at Bresson, he could not get financing for L'Argent for a long time. Look at Greenaway who announced like 10 projects last decade and did 2. 3rd is in post production hell.

Is there a person who didn't become a director or make their first kino until they were old?

did something with art that I worked and practiced hard for, money and status etc
then I stopped after getting the validation and got complacent, had to get a real job
I'm gonna get back on it, life's not worth wasting it on a faceless corp that doesn't even know you exist

Michael Haneke

Ridley Scott started at 40. Haneke at 47 with Seventh Continent and didn't make a breaktrough till he was 59.
Actually most of them made a breaktrough in their 40s

drugs

Haneke was 47 when he made the film that kicked off his career

I had drunken sex with my one-itis in a tent

how do you make stone look like cloth so convincingly

I'm 25 right now and I work in data entry.

And do this too much.

believable folds

I am 25 years old and I never even kissed a girl

There some truth behind Michaelangelo's claim that he didn't carve anything but rather freed the sculpture from the solid block of marble. When you are THAT skilled and gifted at something it is almost effortless to create something that someone slaving away to recreate could never come close to.

it's cgi

Ofcorse you do you're working in data entry.

maybe it was pure, unbridled autism

Orson Welles was lazy. Xavier Dolan made his first film when he was 19.

Bernini is babbys first statue man.
Michelangelo was autistic, he was concerned more with geometry and precise measurement rather than aesthetic.
Hellenists made shit that puts the entire list of sculptors from the past millenia to shame, bernini nonwithstanding at the end of that list.

why aren't geniuses around anymore like rafael and michelangelo?
