that was good Freeman.... Howevere Ive sat here trying to think of the
equivilent Of Spielberg
and I have to say..... he to me is a Original and uncompared to anyone
Ive seen.. past or present...
He is the master of heart tugs and spooky jolts... and off what ifs,,,,,
and painting with light..
and audio wizardy.... hes taken no-name actors and has them in our
hearts forever... like Eliot
and E.T. ..... truly the dream master of story tellers..... hes the
only director whos film " Schindlers list"
I refuse to see even on video.. as I suspect I would leave my seat
soaked with tears .. and i dont want to even visit that place....( the
soundtrack makes me swell up)
No I find myself constanly saying " spielbergish " as many copy his use
of diffused light tactic that he
created so well...... and the ability to build up excitement in say
Indiana Jones .is just a art form that
has been copied but never surpassed in My humble opinion// Back when I
staed my business in 1977
to films opened... almost it seemed at same time... Star wars and Close
encounters of the third Kind
these films basically resusitated the entire Movie Biz as I see it, and
took us to the next level.
Sure there are also great like Scorsese, Coppola, Rodreguiz, Dante,
Zemekis, and many others,,
However Spielberg is in his own originla Class like Kubrick and
Hitchcock, and Capra..
There are trademark elements that are embedded in much of the work..
even Color Purple which SHOULD have been a Oscar winner I still believ
was so memorable
and took us to a place we had never been...
I once wrote Steven and George a Letter . and told tem how I would just
like a day with them to hang out as I fely I was that curious Kid that
would have been around them when were kids watching them make home
movies and I could puicture me wide -eyed as they would be making films/..
Steven is said to make the best Matzo bowl soup in the world so.. I have
never tasted it ,, just in case i ever meet him and he wwould make me a
bowl.. Plus I hear his mom makes the best Tuna fish sandwich
in the world... so I want one of those from the Milkyway restraunt if
its still there,
anyways Spielberg is like Coke or Ford or Microsoft.. hes a industry it
itself
yet... oddly peole dont collect on hi, much... always has boggled my mind/
