And why was she hired to direct this?
Nothing on her limited resume qualifies her for a massive budget sci-fi action flick: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1581464/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
Though there are a few that makes her highly qualified to make feminist propaganda films no one wants to see, which is, sadly, what Star Wars has become.
I’m also shocked they hired a guy to write this thing. Is the writer gay — or trans?
HER ACADEMY AWARD IS A FAIRLY STRONG QUALIFICATION.
shareAre you insane? She won Oscar’s for two no-budget short film documentaries about Muslim women no one saw.
That doesn’t qualify her to be on the set of a huge budget sci-fi film, let alone directing one.
IF THAT WERE TRUE...THERE WOULD BE NO DIRECTORS WITH ANY QUALIFICATIONS.
shareThat makes no sense whatsoever.
shareYOU GAIN SKILL AND QUALIFICATIONS BY WORKING...GIVING AN AWARD WINNING FILMMAKER WITH A SLIM RESUME A SHOT AT A BIGGER PROJECT IS COMMON PRACTICE...IT IS HOW TALENT IS ABLE TO BLOOM...OR WILT.
AFTER THE PRICE OF LUNCH BUDGETED CLERKS KEVIN SMITH WAS HANDED OVER SIX MILION BUCKS FOR MALLRATS...AND THAT WAS IN THE EARLY 90S AND CLERKS WAS LITERALLY SMITH'S ONLY CREDIT.

shareI GUESS CHLOE ZHAO’S ACADEMY AWARD WAS ALSO A FAIRLY STRONG QUALIFICATION FOR HER DIRECTING ETERNALS AND LOOK WHAT A CATASTROPHE THAT WAS.
shareYES...IT WAS A FAIRLY STRONG QUALIFICATION...GREAT MOVIES ARE INSANELY HARD TO CRAFT...ETERNALS FALLS A BIT SHORT...THAT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT THE DIRECTOR OR HER QUALIFICATIONS THOUGH...AND FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH...I QUITE ENJOYED THE ETERNALS...SOME EDITING AND 30 MINUTES OR SO EXCISED I THINK IT COULD BE EVEN BETTER.
