The Evolution of Steven Spielberg
YouTube ^ | July 4, 2016 | Burger Fiction

Posted on 07/09/2016 10:51:28 AM PDT by EveningStar

We're definitely Spielberg fans. So many iconic movies spanning his over 50 years of directing. So with the release of his latest movie, The BFG, we bring you Steven Spielberg's directing evolution. We're gonna need a bigger boat.

*****Also big oops. Close Encounters of the Third Kind is 1977 and Minority Report is 2002. We knew this from our research, but somehow in the edit we messed it up. Sorry!

Evolution? From liberal to... bigger liberal?

Even Spielberg magic couldn’t save Hill:

Spielberg tried – and failed – to make Hillary seem likeable

Duel was when he first came to my attention. Watched him grow into a super star. A shame he ended up liberal. Must be something in the water out there..

His best...and first...movie (TV movie) was Duel.

Trivia: What was his first theater movie?

No matter what he does with the rest of his life, the first 20 minutes of Saving Private Ryan is the greatest WWII sequence ever shot. Nothing comes close.

Spielberg’s one of those deranged Lefties who claims that the Democrat part of Jim Crow and the KKK and voting against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 somehow magically transmogrified into the current Republican party and the current Democrat Party is the real party of Lincoln.

I didn't like Duel, which is about a tanker truck that chases a driver of a car across the desert. For one thing, the identity of the truck driver and his motive for chasing the motorist was never revealed. For another, I thought it was unrealistic because the motorist could have easily outmaneuvered the truck--say, through a u-turn.

I think it was good the identity of the trucker was never revealed. Made it more mysterious.

Didn’t he make that movie as a teenager? I thought it was very well done.

“Jaws” - just his second feature film - might be Spielberg’s greatest movie. To create such unbearable suspense and terror with a mechanical shark that did not work required true cinematic genius. The opening sequence of “Saving Private Ryan” is spectacular. Just about every Spielberg movie contains pure cinematic brilliance. A remarkable talent. A political turd - but oh well, can’t have everything...
