Deadline Hollywood announced that the trailer for the latest collaboration between Steven Spielberg, one of the greatest directors of our time, and Tom Hanks, one of the worlds most popular actors, has been released. The collaboration is a film called Bridge of Spies, which relates the career of James Donovan, a lawyer who risked his career to defend Rudolf Able, a captured Soviet spy, in 1957, the height of the Cold War. Later, Donovan would negotiate for the release of captured U2 spy plane pilot Francis Gary Powers, in exchange for Able.
Spielberg has, for the most part, shone when he had directed historical films. Lincoln, Saving Private Ryan, and Schindlers List, remain classics of the genre. His only miss was Munich, which was heavily criticized for historical inaccuracies and for, in the minds of some, showing too much sympathy for Palestinian terrorists, as the UK Independent noted at the time. It did not help that the film was widely seen as a slap at then-President George W. Bushs war on terror

It is good news anytime Spielberg makes a new movie.
I wish he had used someone other than Hanks. When Hanks is on the screen, I do not see the character he is portraying, I just see Hanks.
Yeah, I'll stand in line to see that.
“It is good news anytime Spielberg makes a new movie.”
Not really. He had first shot at American Sniper and tried to liberalize it before Eastwood rescued the script from his lefty clutches. And yeah, I hate actors whose face is the same no matter what movie: Vin Diesel, the Rock etc. Then again we wish they can totally transform like Daniel Day Lewis who shows up every 4 years.
Yup. Same leftwing bullcrap like Charlie Wilson’s War. I just met Hanks weeks ago, he looks horrible in person. Some people just cant age well.
I guess you missed Band of Brothers.

I guess the stress of watching your wife going through cancer is a thrill in your World.
it has nothing to do with cancer, it’s being an ahole liberal. Stick to the subject..
I think that he also diabetic?
Nope.
I thought “Brothers” and “Saving Private Ryan” did an excellent job of portraying highly competent, politically neutral officers and NCO’s during combat.
Hanks will take a very noticeable piss in this movie. It’s his “trademark.” He does it in every single one of his movies.
So the question is, just what, exactly, does this represent? More to the point, who, or what, is this mega millionaire Hollywood Leftist pissing ON, over and over and over again?
The Botox doesn’t help.
“The Good Shepherd”
Thanks for the tip.
I’ve never watched it.
He’s a Type II diabetic as I am and what does that have to do with this discussion?
First I’ll say I wouldn’t wish cancer on anyone ever. Thankfully for Mr. Hanks he can afford the absolute best care money can buy.
Having said those two things I’ll say this. Tom Hanks is a liberal anti American gun grabbing asshole that has done as much to hurt health care as anyone can with his unconditional support of other liberal anti American Gun grabbing assholes.
It will be a long time before we can measure just how bad this is going to become that is the health care system.
A close friend of mine works in the medical equipment division of GE. He explained just a few of the effects that Obamacare has had and is having on there branch. It is devastating.
Tom Hanks and everyother progressive shares in the blame.
I can’t believe the strange things that are happening in our culture today.
We run as fast as we can to support people who are trying to destroy our way of life. I long for the days of nuclear drills at school when we could define who our enemy was.
Today if we point them out we are attacked for a lack of understanding them. I geuss it will help some peoples understanding when guys like Tom Hanks with gets the best health care ever and their wife gets pain killers until she is too bad off for anything else and dies making way for the more important people like Hollywood and Washington elites.
I turned it off, just couldn't get the image of them being traitors while acting out a patriotic role out of my mind. I've never seen it.
I loved Band of Brothers, all fresh faces who to my knowledge didn't do that leftist crap.
