Speilberg shouting out Jordan Peele is everything. Especially because Jordan has flares of Speilbergisms in his films, especially Nope and Us.

[@noneofyourbusiness1114]

Peele is another m knight shamaylan

[@parzibalamblin1890]

lmao nope

[@thelatestgreatest8082]

Peele sucks. Spielberg should shout out to people with actual real talent

[@krisydennis8895]

I love Steven Spielberg so much! He is so wise, humble, compassionate, bright, creative, fatherly, and a gift not only to cinema but to the world!

[@IntegralMind]

Really well put

[@johnmazzoni487]

Also very nice. He invited a dorky fan onto stage with him and Peter Jackson at San Diego Comic-Con in 2011. All because the fan had on a T-shirt saying how much he wanted to meet Steven Spielberg

[@5MadMovieMakers]

Fabelmans was a great movie to experience and to discuss. A lot to unpack

[@Nicolas-uu3jr]

This man is responsible for all my favorite core films..., he's number 1 for my lifetime

[@AxelAxe]

All time greatest

[@kwixotic]

The made for TV film , "Duel" with Dennis Weaver demonstrated incontrovertibly that he was already blessed with a majestic directorial career for the rest of his life.

[@tyfighter4509]

He is a master

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

Spielberg, Lucas, Scorsese, Cameron, Di Palma, and many many others have inspired my own storytelling over the decades. It's still hard for me to believe that I'm about to publish the third in my series, but simultaneously, I don't find it all that surprising. After 30+ years of acting, directing, writing, fight choreography, sound design, videos, voice-over, and PLENTY more... it's all been my contribution to whomever has decided to learn about my work. :) 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨

[@coronaphone710]

Polanski is also good

[@rhythmoriented]

Their relationship was poignantly reviewed during Di Palma’s documentary. I learned a lot, and would recommend it to anyone interested in seeing how there was such a concentration of creative energy in their early years.

[@jameswilliams-zr8co]

cameron, robert zemeckis, paul thomas anderson, christopher nolan, ben affleck, george miller, george p cosmatos, paul verhoeven

[@geoffreythomas1452]

It's De Palma, not Di Palma.

[@ricardoelorza613]

Class. Many make great films... but I think he is the ultimate visual storyteller. No one has successfully takled as many different genres. I'd love to meet him.

[@zillsburyy1]

he made too many turkeys in the early 2000s

[@WrongStanceProductions]

@@zillsburyy1 I don't agree with that

[@csabapalotai7418]

Maybe Michael Curtiz?

[@ricardoelorza613]

In the studio era, many directors were very versatile, jumping from one genre to another, film after film. Yes, Curtiz, Wyler, Walsh, Sturges... but Spielberg went beyond all of them in the way stories were told in movies.

[@ricardoelorza613]

Imo A.I., Minority Report, War of the Worlds, Catch Me If You Can and Munich are everything but turkeys.

[@thelatestgreatest8082]

The interview got better as it went on. Spielberg. Wow. The greatest Of all time🙏

[@agorgedslug]

I absolutely agree that books and films are a snapshot of where humanity was at the time. How can we possibly learn from our mistakes or hope to improve, if the darkness of the past is constantly being erased or glossed over.

[@AxelAxe]

Thanks to the whole team for putting this session out for everyone to enjoy!

[@darthmig1325]

Can you imagine a world without Spielberg and his films...I know I would not be the person I am today.

[@MarkRutland2]

Thank you, Steven.

[@sandralindqvist1159]

What a great film maker !! wish we had more of them ✨

[@pacsmaniac5589]

ohhh you will get them in no time.

[@visions_of_noah]

Oh we do have more of them! But he sure remains one of the greatest!

[@NobuhikuObayashi]

Oh yes! More movies like kingdom of the crystal skull please!!!

[@rodneyclarke6477]

Alot of Spielberg movies shaped my world-view & I agree wholeheartedly with his sentiment regarding the Past . Films are like a time capsule or a snap shot of a bygone era. And if film is done well then it contains both light & shade. And you make up your own mind on things. And yes going to the movies is like a Communion of sorts where you let your guard down & realise that there are things that separate us but there are things that make us all the same. Love ,Hope & Community spring to mind. Thanks once again for the incredible legacy of Cinema that you have given us.

[@davidmckayii752]

Thanks for the great interview

[@henryivan6858]

thanks for following your dreams Steven Spielberg, we love your movies

The 🦈 SHARK! With a unforgettable end roar lasting in our memories of a page of the dinosaurs 🦖 of our history. From time to time I still visit the film 🎞️ with family an gladness in appreciation for its package in its entirety as we watched even now I observe the difficult film 🎥 I certainly find more an more interesting story parts amazingly seeing new things. A masterpiece film ty Good Job

[@cityullm53]

I have one thing on my bucket list and that is to meet Steven Spielberg, But saying that I would be so star struck I bet I would just lose it, The guy is a phenomenon his story telling is just amazing 🙌🙌🙌

[@emanuellawton7942]

Steven Spielberg has never done a western and I would love to see him do one.

[@anthonymcbride9942]

I love seeing Steven Spielberg being candid and dropping nuggets of wisdom. I would die for him to make one of my scripts into a movie. My movie script "Gods of the Forgotten" would be a perfect fit.

[@matthewfisher-sp5fq]

I love Steven Spielberg

[@davidmckayii752]

So inspiring! Idk the first thing about making movie, but I respect the enthusiasm 😜

[@VantablacSOL]

I’m in a huge western kick also love learning about Spielberg lately. When the interviewer asked is there a genre he hasn’t done yet… I was grinning ear to ear “he’s never done a western”

[@roquefortfiles]

I think Steven has a Western in him. I'd love to see him do something like a Good Bad and the Ugly. Sergio Leone has a very similar dramatic style. I think Steven could totally do it justice.

[@thiagoteixeira6537]

Man I love Spielberg!

[@francescafranks4421]

Steven is a creative genius...

[@bentertainmentproductions8451]

Much respect and admiration towards this master filmmaker. I’m so happy to hear he liked Indy 5. Plus him talking about not meddling with movies in order to fit with a political agenda is relieving to me. Absolutely loved The Fabelmans. That was his best film in a while. Definitely down to see him tackle a western as his next project! I think he’s going to be executive producing a posthumous project heavily based off of the late Stanley Kubrick’s “Napoleon” next.

[@RachelSofaer]

Very interesting interview, thank you! Glad to see that Spielberg is working to fight antisemitism while at the same time giving us the best movies!

[@bradcouch457]

I just read Pirate Latitudes, the pirate novel that Spielberg was once planning on adapting and directing. I loved it and hope he makes the movie soon.

[@JamieCosta]

Atta boy Steven 💙

[@JEBLego]

Love that he shouted out Jordan peele. I also wish he mentioned Damien Chazelle honestly. Some of the best writing and filmmaking coming out right now

[@guillermovaccarezza7105]

There is nothing like a big, crowded, dark movie theater full people waiting for the film to start. Such a feeling of anticipation and eagerness . I hope we don't loose that and forget the theatrical experience because of streaming and bigger home devices. Would be a real shame.

[@charleneterrell]

OMG did Spielberg just spoiled me the current season of Succession?! I was waiting to binge it when was over😫 I can't believe a spoiler so fresh came form the master of cinema.

[@demoscratos4577]

I love the shout out he gave to Jordan Peele. However somewhat disappointed in the crowds non response to the reference of an obvious talented director such as Peele. Spielberg truly understands his position which makes him an all around great and talented human being.

Thank god I saw "the episode" yesterday. I almost get spoiled as hell in here.

[@berner]

That interviewer is such a snake. He's using this interview to ask Spielberg "Sooooo.... You're one of us, rigghhht?".

[@coronaphone710]

Nothing new after all the revelations from that filthy rich runaway society we idolized before social media. It's like every interview holds hidden occult messages we instantly get now.

This needs to happen: Angelina Jordan in Paris Steven Spielberg Angelina Jordan is a young singer who has amazed the world with her voice and style. She has performed in many countries and events, but one of her dreams was to sing in Paris, the city of love and art. That dream came true when she was invited by Steven Spielberg, the famous director, to be part of his new movie project. Spielberg was impressed by Angelina's talent and wanted her to sing the main theme song of his film, a romantic comedy set in Paris. Angelina was thrilled and accepted the offer, and soon she found herself in the beautiful French capital, recording the song and exploring the city with Spielberg. They had a great time together, and Angelina felt inspired by the culture and history of Paris. She also learned a lot from Spielberg, who shared his wisdom and experience with her. Angelina said that this was one of the best experiences of her life, and that she was grateful to Spielberg for giving her this opportunity.

No idea, but I'm sure it would be great.

Ooh, there's a thought! 👍 It'd be cool if he did one of each of the 3 genres - a history, a tragedy & a comedy. Don't know which ones I'd want him to do, though. Haven't seen all of the plays.

[@JustAFilmGuy]

Good answers, wish the questions were more insightful than "What are your favorite TV shows right now".

To anyone not caught up on Succession: spoiler alert at 10:18

[@matthewgaudet4064]

People still should have a choice. Not including the special edition of ET on blu ray is just as bad. Lucas erased the original Star Wars and only offered the special edition. Should have done what Steve did with Close Encounters offered all 3 versions. or what Ridley did with 5 versions of Blade Runner.

[@JeffLandsman]

Well said. 100% agree. The fact that there is no official way to watch the original Star Wars trilogy in high quality (I own the terrible DVD bonus disc made from the laserdiscs that are not even anamorphic - just letterboxed) is a real shame. We should have those versions and the the revised editions.

[@Bryan8329]

I think Coppola’s Final Cut of Apocalypse Now easily bests the other two versions for me. I first saw Redux shortly after it came out but seeing the FC a few years ago really made me reconsider favorites.

[@Bryan8329]

WB should have given the 2007 cut of Blade Runner a wider theatrical release.
