ALtMAn

Robert Altman's unique style is not the easiest thing to track through all of his movies. the 3 movies we watched that were directed by Altman were back in the era where directors really did have almost total creative control over their movies, and it shows, fewer gaps in logic, and more clearly defined unique traits.

Altman's most noticeable trait that is used throughout at least 90% of his films is a moving camera; capturing many different scenes of action, or characters without cuts, giving a very different feel when watching an altman flick.

One other trait that I noticed, and yes - it was the only other similarity I noticed and it cant apply to his crap (Black and White) movies is a very rich color palette and very saturated colors.
