You make no sense. Ok. Schindler's List has some of the best production values of any film ever. From Cinemetography throughout. Hollywood is certainly superior to foreign films when they want to be because they have the BUCKS to get the BEST artisans in the industry and not have to use the camera as a stunt to suck in the low-brows who think they're high brows because a film is in subtitles.

Then there is the indie flicks which are mostly garbage that some yahoo will dribble all over touting words like realism.

I have seen no Hollywood film that has the same taste as Schindler's List.

I remember long ago that Spielberg was going to give this film to Roman Polanski...the artsy fartsy lovers lve this director. Well after his Pianist a good solid film I'm so VERY thankful Spielberg made the movie because the Pianist was so weak willed in comparison.

By the way I'm not against small films or foreign films...a great deal are in my top 100.

I'm thankful most critics and reviewers saw through the anti-Hollywood and Anti-Spielberg and actually judged the film not the director's previous work and were objective viewers.

Of course the srange thing is judging his previous work is not so bad. Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jaws, E.T. are classics within their respective genres. I can't think of a better thriller on the water than Jaws or a better action/adventure film than Raiders or a better family film than E.T. (Most people miss the homage to Casablanca - which IMO works better than Casablanca because the LINES aren't as stilted and silly - and it can also be viewed as a pseudo Christ story).

Saving Private Ryan if he had chopped the bookends of the movie or fixed them up a bit would be bonafied masterpiece. Some of the dialogue could have been worked over. Definitely more engaging with two views because the story is lost on many after the draining 30 minute beach sequence. Plenty of depth and layered story is there - good critics and reviewers can see it - bad critics are too busy with their anti-spielbergisms to look. But then they didn't get Shakespeare or Mozart at the time they wrote and composed either.
