No one watched this or has any comments on it?

Spielberg is old.

He's always been a great interviewee, though. Very forthcoming, very enthusiastic. He likes talking to people. You can also see it in his work.

Some interesting points:

- that in WWI enemy soldiers did communicate--it makes the wire-clipping scene seem more realistic (and I loved the scene from the beginning)

- that in the original book/play German soldiers did not meet Joey

- that if it wasn't for War Horse, Spielberg's only release this year would've been Tintin--we were VERY lucky as JWFans/Spielberg fans

- CGI is only used 3 times

- there he is again about the musical--I hope he does it while Williams can still compose!

- "autoerotic"

- interesting about the animatronic horses - I never noticed (nor the CGI, for that matter)

- funny story about Spielberg submerging, must've been pretty scary

- very interesting that Spielberg is always nervous--for somebody whose films are relatively optimistic and who always seems so enthusiastic, you wouldn't necessarily expect that

CGI was only used 3 times? That doesn't seem right. How else could they have filmed the scene where Joey runs through No Man's Land?

He may have meant it was only used in a major way in 3 scenes, his answer wasn't very clear.
