"It belongs in a museum!" Steven Spielberg on Jurassic Park, ET and his greatest movie memento

[@abbathahzan]

This guy is a bloody good interviewer...give him a raise

[@MrMarsFargo]

I know, right? He didn't interrupt him, he just let him answer the g-damn questions thoroughly and completely, allowing for a more interesting understanding of the man and thus a good interview.

[@rickyc4535]

Looks like a younger Louis Theroux

[@asleeponthetoilet5505]

Yeah, Ali Plumb - does all the film stuff on Radio 1. He's got a nice way about him

[@tt-qh3kj]

@@MrMarsFargo 0:57 "the kids were having a great time on set".. Steven ~ "they were" There were drugs everywhere on set. used to enjoy drag.. and the little girl he discover in a supermarket died after filming wrapped from being raped to death.. ya, sounds like he had fun on set

[@MrMarsFargo]

Luke um... are you okay? Legit question. Because the girl who acted in this film was certainly not raped to death, and is in fact still acting today.

[@bigred436]

This interviewer is just amazing! You can see the person being interviewed slowly goes from being kinda not excited to just having a fun time and laughing

Yeah be it with anybody , Ali is always polite, informed, humble and respectful .. he takes it seriously with just a hint of goofiness .. I feel I can watch all his interviews 💜

[@Rock-n-Rolla369]

So true!

[@muggedinmadrid]

spielberg is the brothers grimm and walt disney of our age. he deserves his success not just because of his startling talent, but because he is so humble and dignified and genial.

[@DanHarkless_Halloween_YTPs_etc]

Yes, The Brothers Grimm - nice comparison. And yeah, when Steven says in response to the kind of dumb "over $10 billion" question in this that he doesn't care about the numbers, that he just wants people to find his films entertaining and memorable, you can tell he's being genuine about that.

[@deckofcards87]

Great comparison. But imho he surpasses Disney! They never made a family film as epic and deep as E.T. !

[@batt3ryac1d]

I dunno he's had his share on poopie like for instance ready player one.

Jurassic Park was the first movie I ever saw in a cinema. I don't think I was ever the same after that. Thank you Steven!

[@jbearclowater]

To this day that is my favorite film going experience. The sheer awe and wonder of first see the dinosaurs on screen is one of the most amazing moments in a cinema for me. That movie, among many others from him, is a masterpiece.

[@SDfan2002]

Justin Clowater Just had my first Spielberg movie theater experience, Ready Player One! Such a wondrous experience from the greatest director ever!

[@no.6472]

Same bro

[@awesomedude584]

That's funny because E.T. was the first movie I remember seeing. I have a very vague recollection of seeing Superman II but I don't remember the actual film itself, just being brought along and getting a magazine-type program (yes, we got a big program, or we bought one).

[@romaina.6241]

The first movie I remember seeing in a cinema was JP2. I was very excited to see it because I watched JP1 literally every day as a kid. That two movies have a special place in my heart.

[@OakViewFilms]

Spielberg is the reason why I became a filmmaker. Grew up on Jurassic Park and the Indiana Jones trilogy, this man has been a huge influence on my life, and is my personal hero. I'd be the greatest honor to meet Mr. Spielberg someday. Even if it's only for 30 seconds, I'd be the biggest honor of my life.

[@DVincentW]

Duel (1971) his first film I think is very good too .. George Lucas had made THX 1138 the same year, which is also very good if you have not seen it.

[@JasonZakrajsek]

You’d be the biggest honor of your life?

[@billycasper3351]

You don't have much time.

[@HOTD108_]

​@@DVincentWThe irony of THX 1138 being a satire which makes fun of overcommercialisation and depicts people buying useless pieces of plastic that they immediately become bored with shortly after getting them, being directed by the man who went on to create Star Wars.

[@cga1233]

this man is literally responsible for almost all of my favorite films. he made me love going to the movies and forgetting reality.

[@screencast3862]

8:45 This is why Steven Spielberg is one of the greatest filmmakers ever. He doesn’t do it for money or popularity, he does it for art and his passion of filmmaking. And he is the reason I want to be a filmmaker myself.

[@sinkthebounty122]

I could name you 300 directors who don't do it for money simply off the top of my head.. It makes him an artist, but not the greatest artist. And, even that is debatable, he didn't hesitate to include tons of product placement in Minority Report.

[@Erasureeraser]

He has made few flops but they're still great movies nevertheless and he can still make movies because of his impressive track record

[@stanley3119]

Greatest director of his generation

[@FabledGentleman]

Yeah. Spielberg can deliver on so many levels, and he can make movies in almost any genre. And when you put together movies like Jaws, Raiders of the lost Ark, Schindler's list, Saving private Ryan, Close encounters of the third kind and E.T. you get a pretty clear picture on how good a director he really is when he is on the top of his game, though it has been some time since then now.

[@maxheadroom3839]

He's alright if he tries hard he may have a blockbuster one day 😉.

[@spencerwatson771]

I loved Shaving Ryan’s Private’s... the man is a genius

[@daveschall8764]

Swindlers list was a masterpiece Lmao

[@ririschannelx]

EVER tbh. He's surpassed more than one generation which makes him a legend imo and can do it all. Sci Fi, action, historical, comedy

[@the_narthex]

Spielberg's career is so overwhelmingly awesome that even focusing exclusively on his science fiction movies, you had to leave out discussion of "Close Encounters," "A.I." and "Minority Report." I love this director.

I've always loved how Dee Wallace reacted to "penis breath!" in E.T. She goes from being distraught at her kids arguing to surprised and she's laughing at the insult while trying to put on her "Mom" face and failing miserably. Magnificent little touches like that really make a character real.

[@AaronOwenSmith]

so true, that's what a great director does, brings out the tiny details. For me, the kids playing up in close encounters is still the landmark of realism in his movies.

[@grahamclarke6170]

That bit at 7.20 when he realises "The sledge Rosebud" a proper and true fanboy reaction. This is the greatest director of my generation talking to one of the best film geek/critics of the next generation.

[@tothetruthandbeyond4510]

Where he says welcome to Jurassic park and the music starts, still gives me goosebumps like it did when I was a kid.

That's what makes him so magical, he's about the connection with the audience, not the score on rottentomatoes. He makes movies that are made to live and be cherished in homes around the world. He films from the heart and we owe him so much.

[@suricatavoxable]

I am a massively Steven Spielberg fan ever so de I was a tinny tinny girl and fell in love with Indians Jones. I actually studied Paleontology in uni because of him. I was so bloody excited when he replied to my tweet once. He's a master I. Story telling, no one else like him 😁😁😁

[@santishorts]

I'm afraid to tell you that Spielberg never had an official twitter account.

[@suricatavoxable]

Well, at the time it had the check logo, although it was over 7 years ago. You might be right, but hey , thanks for crushing someone's dreams!!!!!! :P :P :P :P

[@santishorts]

Anytime ;) Lol. But joking aside, I'd like to know whether the actual Spielberg wrote to me, or some random person online. You should write him a letter.

So we played these movies in our neighbours tv. There were 30-40 people of all ages gathered to watch movie. We watched Jurassic park for whole night. It was so magical experience for watching human scientists retrieving giant creature. We didn’t even know dinosaurs even exists once. Thank you steven spilberg...
