Vulgar auteurism

Vulgar Auteurism is a way of looking at movies that puts an emphasis on the director as the “author” of the movie. It means that people who follow this idea believe that the director of a movie has the main responsibility for making it turn out the way it does, and that their individual style and vision is the most important thing in understanding a movie. So, in other words, the director is seen as an artist, like a painter or writing, who puts all of his or her own ideas and visions into a movie and makes it something unique.
