Notable can mean many things. Maybe it was high quality, insightful, and provided context for a more artistic scene. Maybe they teased a cut scene that would have radically shifted the tone of the movie. Maybe it was funny. Maybe the director absolutely hated what they produced and is only providing narration because of a contractual obligation and a lot of alcohol.

I am looking to hear about anything that stuck with you in some way.

A lot of people consume content online where director’s commentary frequently isn’t present but I imagine there are still a lot of people who are into this niche.

    I remember quite enjoying the commentary on Equilibrium. The writer-director talked about the shortcuts to cut costs in various scenes, he admitted when certain shots weren’t quite perfect, he talked about the concepts in the movie where they were silly and where he really thought they worked.

      IMDb page here for those that want it. I am surprised I haven’t seen it.

      I feel like the cost cutting aspect would be quite interesting. Did they express any regret towards that or the imperfections they pointed out?

        It was mostly upbeat, talking about making the most out of budget resources.

        The movie itself is pretty good. The “gun-fu” concept is entirely silly, the move the movie makes it cool enough to get into.
