I find the auteur theory to be very interesting. In the esssay by Andrew Sarris it had a paragraph that I think describes the auteur theory. This paragraph talked about how the director gives characteristics of style, which serves as his/her signature. This in return reflects how the film looks and moves which is related to how the director thinks and feels.
Another interesting concept mentioned in the essay was how directors in today's time don't need to know much about the technical side of filming. As long as they have a great production crew that can cover up their lack of knowledge/experience. This struck me because it shows that the more experience you have in your area of field, the better equipted you will be to handle anything that comes your way!
The auteur theory emphasizes the director's overall work...on set, behind the scenes, and his/her impact on the movie. What directors put into their projects and how they use their own personal style to create their movies determine who the author really is.
