Just stating mine. And I disagree about other "studio" dirctors. Note that I didn't say art (in my stated definition) shouldn't make money, or that it couldn't make money. Just that the first order of art should be to reflect a feeling or experience of the artist, not to contrive something with box office grosses in mind.If you like Speilberg, fine. If you don't care to measure his films against other directors, using artistic acheivment as a scale, fine also.
BTW, I did like "Jaws", and think that the subject of "Schindler's List" is such an important one, that I was just glad to see a film made that a lot of people would see. I would just like to see Speilberg make a more "personal" film - that, combined with his other obvious talents, might make me a fan!
I gave at the office!
