Re: Me & Mr. Speilberg...

Perfectly stated. What Speilberg needs to make is his own "Lawrence of Arabia" (not a remake of LOA). A movie CAN be large in scope, and be visually stunning, and dig deep into personal relationships, emotions, and experences. Is that a tall order? Of course, but if he's the "great American director" that is what he should be capable of.

It's been pointed out that "Duel" and "Jaws" were grittier, more real films - and I think they were. But since, SS has traded those qualities for Flash and Bigness. Of course, so has nearly all of Hollywood.

And your right - Speilberg is no hack. He has a lot of technical talents. So there's hope that I will see a movie of his in the future that really "gets" me.


I gave at the office!
