BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, you're really going off the deepend with the Spielberg butt kissing festival, I hope you've got a lot of breath mints because keeping your mouth this close to the glory hole for this long is bound to have lasting unpleasant effects. He doesn't make art anymore, Spielberg makes money and apologies, that's it. Catch Me if You Can stank on ice. Circular pans are old hat, and doing them until your audience gets dizzy and wants to puke isn't mastering form, it's stupid and repetitive use of a currently highly overused technique (every doofus director that wants to prove he paid attention at UCLA uses two or three every movie, it should be renamed the "film school grad pan").

I'd say he's more like Phil Spector, he's mastered the cinematic equivalent of throw away top 40 and knows how to crank out movies that will make a ton of money and soon be forgotten.

You obviously have your mind made up and no amount of proof I present is going to make a difference. If it's so easy how come no film that I've seen has duplicated it. Which of his films are forgotten? Even something like 1941 has a cult following these days. The Color Purple was a serious film about the African American experience not a common or commercial venture 20 years ago. Your criticism seems to based more on script which I don't really care that much about. Movies aren't plays. You either apprieciate the formal propertries of filmmaking or you don't. On that basis I thought Titanic was a great film and Art every step of the way.
