That's actually not true. I thought for sure that that was the case when I saw it too, but the whole thing with the aliens was all Kubrick.


Zow good find! That is odd. Despite my love for Kubrick, I still don't care for that last part. I actually didn't go on a second date with the gal I saw that movie with because she insisted it didn't go far enough to ensure the boy was happy, while I was disappointed they didn't "kill him off" to end the movie. I must admit that at the time I attributed that ending to Spielberg as well, but I still stand by that decision.


Besides, my wife would be really angry if I called her now.

The film A.I. started out as a Kubrick project, a project that Kubrick wanted Spielberg to direct, because he felt Spielberg's directing style would best fit the script. The film never got out of the development phase, because the effects technology of the time were not convincing enough for Kubrick's high standards. After Kubrick passed, Spielberg picked it up and made a very dark, beautiful and underrated film. One of his best IMO.I think Kubrick would have ended the movie when the boy freezes, but Spielberg just had to "wrap it up". I'm with you until that part of the movie, but then then he completely lost me.

The holocaust was bad, so no story should ever be told about anything good that happened in the midst of it? What a stupid, stupid thing to say.


Yes that is a stupid thing to say...he didn't say it, you did.

All of them are artists. All of them are entertainers. I dig all three directors. If I had to make a personal top 10 list, it would probably include The Shining, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Brazil. I don't see a reason to beat down Spielberg just because he is more commercial. Most commercial films suck. (Current box office champs: Tron 2, Yogi Bear, Narnia 3) Spielberg consistently puts out intelligent, meaningful films that can be appreciated by people of all walks of life - not an easy task.

That said, Gilliam's last 3 flicks were horrible. I hope his second shot at La Mancha goes well, the released footage from the 1st abandoned attempt looked really good.

Kubric creates art, Speilberg creates entertainment. Comparing the two is inane.

I agree about his explanation of Spielberg's films. I disagree about what he suggests movies should be.
Speiberg is brilliant.


Gilliam never once suggests what a film should be.
