I think Bertolucci is the best. Visually directors from the 40s actually knew better to shoot than the directors of today. I always block everything out first. Every movie or script will have a different visual style. The movie tells the visual style.
Many times there are shots used to distract the viewer from the actual scene.
This was done simply to keep the viewer's eye occupied. He had no idea ,when he was hired for the job, that there was anything illegal involved, because a friend of his recommended him for the position. The main character breaks out of jail and plots revenge on his friend and his ex-girlfriend. I had no idea ,when I was hired for the job,that there was anything illegal involved, because a friend of mine recommended me for the position. I didn't do any real time or plot revenge, but I was a bit peeved.
