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.

Saw ET in 1982. Could never watch it again. The whole theatre was in tears. Not just sniffling, openly crying. Children were yelling out to parents to make it stop. Not just to save ET but to make the pain the film was causing them to go away. Never saw anything like that again.

Here's some directors you should do: Peter Jackson Sam Raimi James Wan Matthew Vaughn Joel Schumacher

I thoroughly enjoy everything this channel does. I dont think Ive commented that after all this time but I figured I can throw it on in now. lol

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.

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!

He's my favorite director without a doubt.

Welcome..to screenprism park You gonna need a bigger comment section.

I would love for you guys to do a video like this with Quentin Tarantino.

This is my first time watching the director special. Thank you for such an amazing work. I'm looking forward to watching an episode on Luca Guadagnino. 😃

"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.

@krautgazer

4 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.

You guys make an excellent work on this video - essays. It would be amazing to see the "trademarks" of Francis Ford Coppola, Woody Allen, Werner Herzog, John Carpenter, Quentin Tarantino, and Ridley Scott. As always, keep doing your impressive work, ScreenPrism Crew!

your team is my new religion

Love this series, lots of room for more excellent content.

I'd like a breakdown of 2 of my favorite directors: Ang Lee and Zhang Yimou. 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.

No wonder why I loved his films...the father less tone in many of his movies really got me and had me crying in some cases. Brilliant! I hope one day I can be as amazing him and so many other greats in storytelling within film

One of my favorite directors of all time.

Love your references to other channels. It is clear you guys do your research.

I'm not going to lie... I cried. Thank you screenprism! I'm even more in love with this channel every day! I can't wait to see you getting to 1 million

Zemeckis movies feel like Speilberg mpvies, so yes I would definitely love to see a video on him. Very underrated director.

Please please PLEASE do one on Baz Lurhman, he's my absolutely favorite director of all time! Jaw-dropping costumes, anachronistic soundtracks, grand, sweeping, tragic love stories (Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge, The Great Gatsby,) and probably some of the most faithful adaptations made. 🎬 ❤

Please continue this director series.

I think I had more burst into tears & lose my breath moments to Spielberg flicks than I do with any other flick.

It might also be interesting to see what defines the "role" some actors choose to portray throughout their career, how they construct it & polish it, who perfects it so well it doesn't get boring or repetitive from on movie to the other.

I haven't watched many of Spielberg's films. But I'll keep these in mind while watching next one. Excellent video. Please do one on Martin Scorcese!

A double-bill, yes! I love this series! Could you please do The Coen Brothers or Joe Wright?

Remarkable! Great job guys!

Spielberg is my childhood. As I become an adult, I feel like I've grown out of the sentimentality in Spielberg's films and lean towards more cynical styles like Quentin Tarantino, Sergio Leone, Coen Brothers, Martin Mcdonagh. But Spielberg will always have a special place

Spielberg is truly the master ^_^ and i hope that i can be just like him along with my other favorite filmmakers one day =)

Childhood!! Mr. Spielberg as well as other heroes of mine all taught me it was ok not to grow up as long as you don’t forfeit maturity.

His focus on hands is also another trademark of Spielberg

Like James Franco, Spielberg is one of those filmmakers whos films are so imposing and natural, I don't notice the style. Amazing

Spielberg is my favorite director so I'm glad you did this. But it's true the sentimental stuff can be a bit overbearing lol

Spielberg is basically a guy with tremendous faith in humanity. Almost every remark derives from that :)

For big budget, special fx blockbuster type films you definitely get your money's worth of entertainment value with Spielberg. His films are always visually breathtaking & emotionally manipulative ;)
