While Eric Idle is awesome, what sold it for me(and what I always loved most about Monty Python) was Terry Gilliam's animation

>> ^Xax:

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.


Yeah, where did you get the idea that Gilliam said this, dude? Infer ideas much?

Comprehension's not just for breakfast anymore.

>> ^quantumushroom:

Dudes, you won't believe this, except someone sifted it around here....the "sappy" ending of A.I. was NOT Spielberg's idea...it was Kubrick's!


Be that as it may, I'd have been much more willing to endure Kubrick at the helm of that ending than Spielberg. What's written in the treatment matters less than you think. What matters is HOW the story is told. For instance, can you imagine a voice over narration explaining the ending of 2001? That's what Gilliam is describing here: the nice explanatory bow that wraps everything up. The "sap" at the ending of A.I. belongs solely to Spielberg, I assure you.

Do executively produced movies count? Transformers.

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.

Artertainment... WHERE'S MY FUCKING OSCAR??
>> ^Payback:

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

>> ^legacy0100:

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.
