“Spielberg is a hack. Always has been, always will be.”
As opposed to what other filmmaker? He’s clearly a genius of the medium.
Genius of the medium?
He is a great craftman and coordinator — one of the best movie hacks ever.
But genius or creativity?
His best movie was Raiders of the Lost Ark.
There aren’t many good film makers around. Plenty aren’t hacks, but that doesn’t mean their movies are good.
What Spielberg film is compelling in any way?
...and by the way, I don’t really give a flip if a performer supports liberal politicans. It’s when they take this sh__ to the activist level (i.e Spielberg, Streisand, Springsteen) that I get ticked.
Let me ask you a question about “genius of the medium”?
What other genius of the medium made a movie as terrible as 1941 or Hook?
