Steven Spielberg is truly the best film director of all time. The music swell, the timing is right, everything comes together, and you're teary-eyed. That's the satisfaction of the film everyone wants to watch. It's like having the first bite of the most satisfying food in the world. That's Spielberg. Everyone wants to feel righteous and Spielberg gives you the satisfaction of just that. That's the kind of story he makes for his film.

I think Spielberg is a brilliant director. Instead of feeling manipulated, I feel invited to his world. While there, he presents his story and it is always worthwhile. Watching one of his movies is like eating the best chocolate chip cookie in the world. You know it is going to be the best one. It is beautiful and emotional and exactly what you what you want to get. When I think of Schindler's list, it is a movie I have only seen once and yet much of it remains with me 25 years later. The little girl in the red coat, so desperate to remain alive and trying so hard to but failing. The child who hid inside of an outhouse toilet was just as heartbreaking. He did not let us the audience off the hook Even now I could cry just remembering it. There has seldom been another director that could do this to me. Private Ryan and it's battles are the same for me. But my heart is with The Color Purple. It is at the top of my all time list. It was poetry and a gift to me which I have seen so many times, I wore out my VHS copy of it. The love and care he shot this beautiful movie with was evident in every shot. How do you know you have watched a Spielberg movie? When it lives in your heart and your soul.
@funkmike5 жыл бұрын
"He knows exactly to make you feel how he wants you to feel" I think that sums up Spielberg perfectly. There are some films of his that I will never watch, or watch again. The emotional manipulation is bad enough, but you add the wall-to-wall music and it's just insufferable. But I must say, for all of his schlockiness, he's a brilliant director. E.T. hit me hard watching it as a kid, and Lincoln was powerful and important too. Mixed feelings about the man, for sure. Also, you didn't mention this one, but his first film was a TV movie called Duel, an existential play about a man versus a truck which is actually one of my favorites.
@krautgazer4 жыл бұрын
I love Duel. I was hoping for it to pop up in the video but it's always overlooked. I think it's the beginning of a trademark of Spielberg's of not showing too much of a possible threat - we never truly see the truck driver in Duel; we don't see much of the shark in Jaws until much later in the film; we have no idea about the appearance and true intentions of the aliens in Close Encounters of the Third Kind; even the E.T. and the Jurassic Park dinosaurs get this treatment in the first part of the respective movies; the Lost Ark in the first Indiana Jones is also shrouded by mystery; the spirits in Poltergeist (I know it's technically not his film but he has a heavy role in it) are also barely shown until halfway through the movie; the first sequence in Saving Private Ryan is also possibly the most brutal depiction of fog of war - the uncertainty of an enemy's attacks in battle. They do mention how Spielberg portrays the unknown with light instead of darkness but the trademark itself of barely showing the unknown is even more important, I think, because it's pretty consistent in his filmography since 1971 and it influenced countless films later on, especially in the horror genre, like Alien, Halloween, The Blair Witch Project, The Sixth Sense, Paranormal Activity etc.

Lee is well-known in Western cinema: he directed Sense and Sensibility; Brokeback Mountain; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon AND Life of Pi, among other things. Zhang is less known perhaps to the mainstream since he is from China but to the international film audience is known for "Red Sorghum", "Raise the Red Lantern", "The Road Home", "House of Flying Daggers", "Hero", etc. among many, many award-winning films. For me my faves are Hitchcock and Zhang. Oh and for blockbusters and innovation: James Cameron and Peter Jackson.

My very favorite shot in "Close Encounters" is a quintessential example of "The Spielberg Face" - it's the dolly-in to the balding guy at the keyboard, and damned if you didn't wind up including it minutes later! I think that it's also that particular moment in Williams' score - the high, busy strings and flutes - that, coupled with the image and that actor's face, is what makes the moment so indelible to me. Thank you so much!
