* GenreRoulette: From crime dramas (''Ain't Them Bodies Saints'') to heartfelt family films (''Pete's Dragon'' and the upcoming ''Peter & Wendy'') to a existential ghost film (''Film/AGhostStory'') to even comedy thrillers (''The Old Man & a Gun'') and a medieval fantasy epic (''Film/TheGreenKnight''), he seems like a guy who like to do a variety of genres.

** ''Film/TheOldManAndTheGun'': WhiteAndGreyMorality. [[SympatheticInspectorAntagonist John Hunt]] is a cop justifiably pursuing a multiple bank robber who's escaped from prison 18 times, but the the title character is as [[AffablyEvil charming, friendly, and good-natured]] as a bank robber can possibly be, and goes out of his way to make sure nobody gets hurt during his robberies.

Added DiffLines:

** A good example is his Pete's Dragon remake. The original film was very light and corny while his remake prefers to take a more serious and dramatic direction.

Not to be confused with the frontman for Music/CamperVanBeethoven and Cracker.

Added DiffLines:

** ''Film/TheGreenKnight'': MoralityKitchenSink. Gawain is portrayed here as a DirtyCoward NominalHero who only barely overcomes his flaws. Morgana and the titular Knight have ambiguous motivations but seem to have some morals to them. King Arthur and Guinevere are genuinely honorable, unlike their nephew the protagonist. Finally, genuine evil can be seen in the cruel bandits that attack Gawain and the Lord and Lady who sexually assault Gawain when he stays with them.

weird and speculative example.


* GreenAesop: Common in his works. ''Pete's Dragon'' is part of the "kids save a forest from loggers" tradition, while ''The Green Knight'' ties the titular night to nature and relates Gawain's quest to the relationship between humans and nature.



* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism: Differentiates but movies like his 2016 remake of ''Pete's Dragon'' and his upcoming ''Peter Pan'' are definitely at the end of the idealistic side. His other films are presumably closer to the middle.
