In Reply to: Re: I admire Steven Speilberg... posted by patrickU on November 25, 2002 at 09:26:17:
about Duel and Jaws, anyway. I guess my real gripe is that Speilberg is thought of by so many as THE American film director, and he churns out so much rubbish - slick, pretty, feel-good rubbish - that doesn't ever touch you.Schindler's List - Important subject, Fiennes and Kingsley were great, but what did it say? Did it teach, touch, move, or just document? (Same questions about SPR, but without the good performances). Help me out here, Patrick, or anyone, if I'm missing something. I'm not adverse to watching it again if I have, it's been awhile.
I gave at the office!

....He tried all four.
Your own personnality & sensibility will make the difference.
It is like a window ( we like this one, we audiophile ) on the past...
What proves his good home work ( Spielberg ) was to let us see the corruption of the SS, that was not done to often, I think he show us the quintessence of all the horrors, I mean in the two hours or so, it was a tour de force, he ain´t no Lanzmann !
Most assuredly, individual sensibility plays a role. Much like I don't seem to connect much with Picasso's paintings (except "Guernica", which immediately hit me), my connection with Schindler's just hasn't "clicked".
After looking at my post, however, I do seem to be a bit harsh - any director who can coax such performances - or let them be, which may be a harder task - deserves a great deal of credit.
I gave at the office!
you....hmmmm, reminds me of Shania Twain´s new "TronLike" video;
heard a critic say whole CD like that, just lalala surface skimming.
Wonder what happened? The gal once wrote some tunes that touched
me... - AH
