Victor, the point I was trying to make was that the landing sequences had a "you are there" feel, so your statements that they are "fake" are off. Of course they are fake, that is why it is called a movie. You find such "vivid" protrays of violence disgusting, I agree, they are. But it did happen. There are a lot of people who say it was "not that bad" because they cannot believe that such things happen. I am not fixated on it, as you suggest. Rather it sounds like you think that others are not getting your point.As the other writers state, Speilberg makes (sometimes) decent hotdogs. Like most mainstream Hollywood directors, his idea of "art" is to use a sledgehammer rather than explosives. Hitchcock did more in movies by "suggesting" than Speilberg ever will by showing. So I agree there are more subtle tools, but not everyone gets subtle.
My favorite movie scene is in the Great Dictator where Chaplin uses the globe as a beach ball, until it bursts. Funny on the surface, but forboding underneath.
