Leadership

a: Martin scorsese directing style ~
b: Bill Walsh's coaching style

What: Former San Francisco Forty-niners coach Bill Walsh adapted his play book to the strengths of his players. By doing this, he got the best performance with the players that he had. Martin Scorsese's directing style in Goodfellas has a similar process. During rehearsals, the actors were allowed to improvise the dialog. Scorsese modified the script with the lines that he though worked best. This approach to leadership produces a coherent link between the plan of a leader and the capabilities of the led.

b: Old Hollywood

"Apple has a level of full integration of its products that is very similar to what we see in Hollywood studios," Wu said. To make its product, the company relies on carefully curated content, beautiful devices, and exclusive deals with networks. "They offer a high quality experience, but they demand they be in control. That is Apple," he said."

The Curvy Plot Of David Lynch

a: Mulholland drive ~
b: A figure-8

What: This movie confused me the first time I saw it. It was in a small theatre with about 100 people. At the end, there was a stunned silence. I was thinking, but didn't say, "what the fuck was that". That was a long time ago. But over the years the movie keeps coming back to me, in my memories. There were some reviews describing how the plot curves in on itself and returns to where it came from, like a figure-8.

a: Quentin tarantino ~
b: Kubrick

What: "Quentin Tarantino is starting to remind me of late-stage Kubrick. At a certain point, both directors became pretty much divorced from what most of us think of as everyday reality by producing stylized baubles with fetishistic care, inviting audiences to marvel at the lurid and the vivid, losing interest in the process of identification that any audience, however sophisticated, craves."
