Sure, all that, but they do it because it looks cool.

Of course, compromise. I mean... To a degree. Some auteurs as, sigh, Kubrick let's say, refuse to compromise, I believe the same thing went for Alfred Hitchcock and, fuck it, John Carpenter. There is something to be said for realism. Sometimes less is more. Most of the time that's true at least half of the time I feel like.

* In Carpenter's case, most of the time more is never enough.
