Character Evaluation
David Gordon Green is a very interesting director. On the one hand, he can make spoof comedies such as "Pineapple Express" and "Your Highness", and on the other hand, he can also make literary films such as "Favorites You" and "Prince Avalanche" .
The immersion in southern American culture since childhood has made David Gordon Green's works have obvious southern cultural characteristics: weird and strange characters, open-minded plots, and various eerie and terrifying styles. He developed this unique trait into his own label, and grafted this originally weird and absurd style into comedy. At the same time, he is obviously not a director who just wants to be funny on the screen .
