Now that film season is over with the Oscars and BAFTAs out the way, we can go back to making memes out of the industry…not like we ever really stopped. The latest one to take over the internet is the ‘same director’ meme which is all over TikTok. Showing that director’s works can be…diverse to say the least, there are some hilarious pairings.
All films have a director, but learning what films have the same director has been a hilariously eye-opening experience. Sharing their expert knowledge, Twitter users have revealed all with baffling results.
The ‘Same Director’ Meme Explained
It’s a pretty simple concept. Basically, a person posts a poster or picture from two films that have the same director. If it was just that, then it wouldn’t be especially entertaining. Where this meme strikes gold is by posting films that are completely different and the factor they have the same director behind them leaves the brain boggled.
For example…
Yes, David Fincher of Fight Club and Se7en fame also directed Vogue. Actually, he’s directed quite a few music videos including Justin Timberlake’s Suit & Tie and Freedom! 90 by George Michael.
The point is, it’s pretty surprising that the mind behind those thrillers also gave us Madonna’s Vogue. And that is the whole point of the ‘same director’ meme.
Getting involved in the meme is as simple as posting two films or projects you know who had the same director, but would surprise most!
