Thor 7,478 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 A.I. is a masterpiece and the best film made since the year 2000. But yeah -- I'd like to see Spielberg do some gritty stuff again, whether sci fi or something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,990 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 A.I. is something I need to rewatch. Must have been at least a decade. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Thor 7,478 Posted March 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2018 I don't even have enough superlatives to say how much I love that film. I see it at least twice every year, and have done so ever since it came out. Will, Marcus and crumbs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,990 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I've seen it three times on big screen when it first came out. I loved it then. Then watched it a couple more times on DVD... and haven't watched it since. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, Thor; that's TRAFFIC, and the second best is MASTER AND COMMANDER. 56 minutes ago, Thor said: I don't even have enough superlatives to say how much I love that film.

I feel that way about GRAND CANYON, but each to their own 2 hours ago, Brundlefly said: And what do you have against Artificial Intelligence!? First of all, never begin a sentence with a conjunction. Secondly, I'm concerned with the anthropomorphism of machines. I understand the metaphorical, and philosophical aspects of the story, but as time went on, I began to become uneasy with the way that machines (for that's what Mecha are) are treated as humans, and sometimes better than humans. I get that Hobby wanted a replacement for his dead son, but building a machine really isn't the solution. As for David...so, he's activated, and then, what? Like a machine, David never learns, never progresses, never matures. He's a washing machine that's stuck on the wash section of its cycle. He's a dead end. He even nearly blinded his "mother". Monica was wise to ditch the little twerp. I could go on, but let's just agree to disagree. I'm sorry if I sound as so "down" on A.I., as I know that there's a lot of love for it, and I'd never wish to stifle that love. Conversely, WAR OF THE WORLDS is a brilliant, bittersweet story about an estranged father, trying desperately to reconnect with his children. As someone who worked with children for six years, I can appreciate what both families, and their offspring go through. WOTW helped me to learn about the hurt that children carry with them. Best exchange: No, this...this came from someplace else. What, you mean, like, Europe? No, Robbie, not, like, Europe! I still laugh out loud, at that.

Thor 7,478 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 We might disagree on A.I., but we agree on TRAFFIC, MASTER AND COMMANDER, GRAND CANYON and WAR OF THE WORLDS. All great films. Just not on the level of A.I. for me. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,508 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Fair enough. It's nice to see some love for GRAND CANYON. Most people don't even know that it exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,508 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 It's a beautiful paean to platonic, male friendship. It's also one of the best sounding films, ever. Yavar Moradi and Thor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 These news are months old, but apparently this is indeed going forward as a mini series. Spielberg wll produce. Ciro Guerra (who directed the incredible Embrace of the Serpent) will direct and Steve Zallian will write the script based on a previous treatment by Dalton Trumbo. Besides the previously announced casting of Bardem as Cortés, they have also cast Moctezuma and Doña Marina (or La Malinche): https://deadline.com/2020/02/tenoch-huerta-yoshira-escarrega-join-javier-bardem-in-amazons-hernan-cortes-limited-series-1202864677/ I really hope this goes forward, This is one of most fascinating and interesting historical events I have ever read about. It will probably work best as a mini series, but I would absolutely love if Williams scored this, as unlikely as that is crumbs and Pieter Boelen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
