What we see in a movie is a director’s vision brought to life. They direct the whole thing that we see on our screens. If the direction is not up to the mark, the movie doesn’t live up to the expectations of the audience. So, direction is one of the most important elements in the making of a movie. Yet they do not get enough recognition for the work they do. The film industry saw many legendary directors that reformed the industry. They’ve delivered such masterpieces that have proven to be classics. So, here’s a list of visionary directors of all time. Check it out!
