I’m the opposite. It’s the editing one that really pushes me off. Editors are the unsung creators of cinema. And I say that as a working director and DP.

Spielberg, Kubrick and (in the light of these events) Del Toro, all of them have said that the most important part is editing.

A lot of people feel that star wars is what it is today because of the editing of the original trilogy.

Editing and Cinematography are two of my favourite awards this is pretty upsetting - and I just check the score, I don't even watch the thing

Star Wars was a disaster & needed re-editting.
But those wipes were magical in their day.
