What directors, writers, actors, etc. do you consider to be geniuses? Pics related are the only two I can think of in this area. Also, what are "arguments" for the claim of someone being a genius? I can't rationally explain why I think or feel these two fit into this category, possibly because I'm going off a feeling more than an actual thought that has been poured over and meditated upon.

Another element to consider... I consider these two to be artistic geniuses, not necessarily "actual" geniuses, unless the two are the same?

Sorry for the blogpost style here and mix of thoughts. Ultimately, what do you think?

Genius designation is a little subjective. Some recipients of the MacArthur "Genius Grant" are true morons.

Regarding film I put many people in the genius category - Buster Keaton, Leni Riefenstahl, Orson Welles, Sergei Parajanov, Raoul Ruiz, Zbigniew Rybczyński, Ennio Morricone...

I'm not exactly sure of the reasoning either, but I suppose genius indicates someone who is very talented, original, and perhaps influential. I think a film genius will have exceptional and unique creative vision combined with the ability to deliver on it.

I agree with your choices for genius as well as your assessment on genius itself. I personally believe it to be a difference in connectivity to the Universe.
