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.

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.

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.

Ron Howard and Spielberg in on this? That's a pass x 2 for me.

Speilberg directed the film. It was his baby. He was only uncredited because of contractual limitations. From the Wikipedia entry...

A clause in his contract with Universal Studios prevented Spielberg from directing any other film while preparing E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Time and Newsweek tagged the summer of 1982 "The Spielberg Summer" because E.T. and Poltergeist were released a week apart in June. As such a marketable name, some began to question Spielberg's role during production. Suggestions that Spielberg had greater directorial influence than the credits suggest were aided by comments made by the writer/producer:

"Tobe isn't... a take-charge sort of guy. If a question was asked and an answer wasn't immediately forthcoming, I'd jump in and say what we could do. Tobe would nod agreement, and that become the process of collaboration."

It's not actually 'by' Spielberg... as in he does not have the director's credit. Apparently he was so involved he may as well have, but he isn't the official 'director'.

This brings back a flood of memories for me. At the time, this movie was my favorite movie. And to this day, I still love it. How is it that most of my favorite movies have Steven Spielberg's paw prints all over it?
