Excellent video, Adam! Thanks to Mr. Hancock for sharing his experience and for his films.

[@filmfann1970]

Thanks for the kind words my friend. So glad you enjoyed it.

Spielberg entirely crosses the line in the dock scene. But its done so masterfully that it works. Hooper takes Brody for a side bar and they completely walk over the line where it is picked up in the other direction for the follow up.

I feel sorry for him. He meant well and wanted to do a good job. As he mentioned he was stuck with problems during initial setup not knowing to navigate backside politics of sucha big project.

[@filmfann1970]

Yeah I had the same reaction to his story. He was just caught up in a set of very unfortunate circumstances. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@filmfann1970 Awesome, Adam! Pleasure! Will subscribe. Great content and I love movies and music too 😃👍🏻 Yeah, could have been John's big break if it went well with him on board doing, finishing Jaws 2. What he tells about the script makes sense really, a downbeat Amity post the first movie. Cool
