The Living Legend, Spielberg
The fact that you only have 666 subscribers is the real sin...this is a fantastically inspiring video that overflows with Spielberg's sincerity and creative energy
Haha I love that! Thanks for your kind words, we really do appreciate it. If you have any favourite filmmakers you would like us to cover, do please let us know!
@@ScreenwritersNetwork Absolutely, and by all means, DAVID FINCHER & STEVEN SODERBERGH please. Especially Steven--there's so much less analysis on him somehow
I almost cried at ET's part
Same, my tears were about to drop if I didn't held back myself lol
Easily the best narrative of Speilberg's career I've seen. Others cover more content from business to Ford's influence to film theory... but this actually tells a story. As a composer who's studied JW's approach extensively, I even learned something here I hadn't heard before. This video was very well made.
John Williams has done so much for bringing music to the foreground consciousness as a character in films.
Editing skills incredible!!!!
Thank you! 🙌🏻 Happy that you enjoyed it!
My childhood hero 😍
thanks for this video! beautifully compiled. well edited.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for the feedback 😊
Great video and so interesting! Also, I remember being on that Universal Studios ride in 1981 and seeing that shark pop out at us! So much fun 😄
Good Job... More pleace.... Fan from finland
It’s majesty
So excited and grateful that I sit under a poster of him in my geography class (also a film study room). It motivates me every single fricking day. I love Spielberg, and I am eternally thankful for him.
Nice put together video! Can't believe it does not have more views.. Thank you
Thank you for your kind words!
Excellent video. Would love to see one with Christopher McQuarrie.
Legend.
"Absence of music" : Classic example- Hitchcock's "The Birds" Bernard Herrmann has his name on it ( and properly so) but there is No Music on that film. Probably the most perfect example of Spielberg's point. Seeing a film through a children's eyes. No more perfect example than Freddie Bartholomew in Captains Courageous. The only actor, IMHO, that could really stand his own opposite Spencer Tracy. Freddie's performance-especially the last quarter hour of the film: There is no parallel in Any movie I know of
Mr., steven Spielberg is very talented
Pls do Stanley Kubrick, this is such a good edit you are really talented, surprised you only have 1k subs, you deserve more! Pls make How Stanley Kubrick directs similar to what you did here at the start by showing most of his movies
Thank you for your feedback, it really means a lot! 🙏🏻 We definitely want to do a video on Kubrick at some point!
Good
👍 👍
what interview is the quote at approx 5.30 from?
One question. What is the name of the song at the beginning of video. It sounds familiar.
I believe it's "pure imagination" the song Gene Wilder sings in the first Willy Wonka movie, but this version was a new instrumental made for the teaser trailer of Ready Player One. search for the teaser trailer to Ready Player One, you'll hear the exact same track used in the beginning :)
How can I get Spielberg to read my script? Suggestions????
🤯
Yeah good film
Cover Zack Snyder please
God

Back to the future trilogy is NEITHER directed NOR written by Spielberg, that's a clickbait marketing tactic n ppl shod know this
@@FloopyDoof his being the producer is not a problem. But 90% of people thinkin he MADE the BTTF franchise and only him is super messed up, the masses outside of film nerds or filmmakers dont even know who Zemmecks is -
@@FloopyDoof there is EVERYTHING wrong with thinking of BTTF as a SPIELBERG film when it is NOT. That is like saying "its ok lets say Johnny invented the lightbulb because he was there to give him allowance growing up, or he was his moral support or helped run his errands." There is something called CREATIVE CREDIT and artists do NOT mess with that - The biggest crime you can ever commit to an artist is to ROB HIM of his work. You can call it a FILM BY if the director both wrote and directed a film or if he did either and they both agreed to call it that but to think that a PRODUCER can be confused with the a FILM BY or a FILM OF his name is intellectually illegal - Now lets remember that BTTF can never say its a Spielberg film because as you probably dont know it is ILLEGAL - but because he is the most famous, therefore people will just think he is the one that did - because the average joe like u doesnt rele understand these differences or care, hence why you literally think "it is the producers film more so" and things like " i dont see how 1 minute shot is that big of a deal" the masses like yourself dont understand or care about these nuances, but on the other side it is the difference between NIGHT AND DAY - hope you learnt something today, goodday
@@FloopyDoof that's wht u get wen u try n claim intelectual theft as OK n no big deal. When a subject is about something ILLEGAL it takes a very different energy my friend, if u were talkin about ur taste in movies then sure say whtever u want, but never try to advocate for intellectual theft as u have to understand the horrific pains that ensues from such practices, then u'l understand why artists take it very personal, so hope this gives better context to the reason to my ignited response.
@@thebicycleman8062 its not intelectual theft, BTTF was turned down by almost every studio until Spielberg came on board, with him on board Bob and Bob were able to make what they wanted to, Spielberg was on Set 85% of the shooting to help guide Zemekis. He is credited for making the film because without him, BTTF might never had been made. Poltergeist and Roger Rabbit weren't directed by Spielberg either but are credited to Spielberg as he produced them but you don't mention that. I don't know anyone who thinks Spielberg directed BTTF, almost everyone I know, film buffs and non film buffs know the guy who made Forrest Gump made BTTF, you need to stop being an elitist film snob.
@@CineApocalypseOnline my comment was exactly the opposite of a film elitist! Only film buffs will ever be the ones who will get that detailed into the process. Ur average Joe which is 99% of the population will never ever ever look beyond the name Spielberg n share it around as "Oh bttf is made by Spielberg" 99% of the population never ever mention Zemekis or even know his name. It's clear now that u r the delusional disconnected one, n to think ppl r gona frikkin know all these details of "script not bein sold and he's on "set" then boy o boy r u worst n disconnected from how the average Joe works more than I thought
