Ghost Leviathan posted:Spielberg's stuff imo likes to specifically evoke people's relationships with the stuff they see in ways like nostalgia- wonder, terror, curiosity and confusion, the feeling of a kind encountering things for the first time. Jurassic Park is changed from a gimmicky techno-thriller to an almost allegorical showcase of how far humans go to create spectacle and wonder even if it ends up consuming them. (and see also how Nope is basically made out of Spielberg homages) Close Encounters and ET about the experience of the unknown and amazing that the idea of alien encounters represents. Of course that makes it all absolutely primed to tickle every one of the centres of the brain that create nostalgia, but can't blame the man for being good at his job. I'm still annoyed they changed the ending of Minority Report from the original story, which was much better*. Also the jetpack cooking hamburgers during the chase sequence is a prime example of him being unable to resist the temptation to insert goofy adventure schlock into a reasonably serious movie. *same goes for Paycheck

watched the first ep. the premise is solid, better than westworld. the tertiary characters are kinda poorly acted and have hacky writing, but there's definitely promise

Just read the book that series is presumably adapting and it was kinda meh. Killer setup, but once the curtain gets pulled back and you find out what's actually going on the book just coasts on its cool premise. politically it's super liberal (which fits with Gibson's real world politics) - there's no real tension because everything's being orchestrated by an MI6 spook who's got the world's best interests at heart. The message of the ending is basically that everything will be OK because the good president doesn't get assassinated and there are good people in charge now. A character literally says 'wait are we any different from the bad oligarchs' to which the answer is apparently 'no, because you're good people.' not socialist
