    Character Evaluation

    Danny Boyle is different from most conservative and rigorous British gentlemen. He has the rebellious postmodern temperament of a mixture of Kubrick and Quentin Tarantillo. When he was on the set, he was also the most ostentatious person in the crew. He would demonstrate to the actors through his exaggerated performances and jovially tell the staff about filming requirements. The work style is also different from most proud and introverted British directors. He spread the tentacles of the film to different corners of the world very early .
