Quote from: KeenerI'm not familiar with Baz Lhurman or Darren Aronofsky and I assume that is a bad thing so I'll try them out if you guys will give me some titles.

And the nerd goes: "you are kidding rite?.....Requeim for a Dream, Pi......Romeo and Juliet, Strictly Ballroom and Moulin Rouge....ring a bell?"

Although I'm very pleased with Spielberg's job on the film, a part of me would have liked to see what Scorsese would have done with the material too.....call me 'whacked'...... :)

In 1993, Darren Aronofsky was 24 years old.  No.

Spielberg's film is a masterpiece.  Depressing, weighty, yet imminently watchable.  Gorgeous cinematography throughout.  My only quibble with it is Spielberg's customary use of black humor: his intent is to make you feel bad for laughing during such displays of violence and inhumanity, but, occasionally, those moments feel like cheap shots to me.

I'm quite positive that if either Scorsese or Kubrick decided to film an empty white-walled room, it would be twice as interesting and innovative as the best Spielberg movie.
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

People who've never seen Jaws say such silly things.

Seen JAWS 3 times. Get over it. He's a popcorn director.

and the great thing about him is he can do the best popcorn flicks and still do SCHINDLERS LIST.

i'm not a die hard spielberg fanatic or anything, i just like to defend him given that it was his movies that i first saw and loved as a youngster.

i would be interested in seeing how wilder would have done it tho...

Fine.  I still say you're overestimating Kubrick and Scorcese with that "white-room" baloney.  They're not that far ahead of Spielberg.....never were, never will be.  Senseless exaggeration, that was.

Why are Baz Lhurmann or Arronofsky on the list?

The film's done and Speilberg did a great job.
