1. He creates small story arcs even within a main sequence that lasts for 3 minutes. So that the viewer is not distracted. Not like a modern superhero movie: an explosion there, an explosion here, and nobody knows what is going on
2. The editing is impeccable. No, Spielberg is no that good in that. He is good at blocking. But in editing, nobody beats Cameroon. He understands the movie in a deep and cohesive way.
3. Deep archetypal layerings: it is often an interplay of archetypal motifs and archetypal events. That is why it is felt as profound. Substance is more than the style.
4. He is visually literate. He knows to paint. That implies he knows how to dictate the attention on a 2d frame even if it is still. That is a huge advantage.
5. He is a kinetic director. Lucas and Spielberg are all comes in this category.
6. A good engineer. That is a plus.
7. The feel of the story is consistent throughout the film.
