Did older people have a similarly jaded attitude towards Spielberg and Lucas back in the day as I do towards Abrams?I'm sure people have been jaded about Spielberg/Lucas since day one, but I've never really had the sense that Abrams has an exponentially huge fanbase as a film director (TV show creator, though, sure). Even film snobs respect Spielberg's virtuosity whereas Abrams doesn't really have much cinematic street cred. Forget Star Wars or Raiders, he hasn't even made his THX or Duel. I'm looking forward to Force Awakens and it looks like the pressure has stepped up his game a bit, but I'm still not sure how interesting a JJ Abrams movie on a shoestring budget would be, whereas even Spielberg's very early work is inventive on a fundamentally cinematic level.I would probably say Nolan and Tarantino are more similar in terms of name recognition and finding that even crossover with casual filmgoers and rabid cinephiles. Jackson with Lord of the Rings is comparable too, although the thing is there's not really that director at the moment who's regularly showing younger kids what it looks like to be in command of your art. All the best filmmakers right now aren't appealing to 8 year olds, which is fine but you do kinda need that guy. I guess Nolan comes closest but his Batman flicks still skew older. Perhaps Pixar is the new Spielberg, except there's not really a figurehead there. The brand names are speaking to kids now #paranoia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did older people have a similarly jaded attitude towards Spielberg and Lucas back in the day as I do towards Abrams?I don't think that's too far off, really. Think about his "generation" of directors (directors in their 40s): has anybody directed and produced as many "blockbusters" in that group? Michael Bay is the only example I can think of, and personally I feel Abrams' hit-to-miss ratio is better even after only four features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Why do we need to have a new Spielberg or a new Williams? Isn't it more special when they are unique? Abrams is obviously very heavily influenced by the Amblin pictures and era, but I don't think he has reached yet the level of techincal mastery that Spielberg demonstrated from the very start. I don't think in terms of direction Abrams has had his own Duel just yet, a film when you see his camera work and you go "yes, this guy's amazing". TOf course, it's a different era now. Back when Spielberg, Coppola and Scorsese started the studio system hadn't still settled down as we know it, the executives hadn't still taken over, so there was a lot more artistic freedom from a group of people who really adored movies and wanted to pay homage to their idols while still doing their own thing. Now I don't know if Abrams could work with that much artistic freedom. Hell, I don't know if Spielberg himself can do that, despite being the giant he is he's still tied to the studio system unless he'd do an independent film. Lucas said that he'd never get his money back with the kind of small pictures he wants to do, a concept that eludes my comprehension seeing as I believe they could lose a couple of bucks to a film they're passionate about.

publicist 4,643 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 It probably would border on self-endangerment for any director, brilliant or daft, to inflict too much originality or inventiveness on this monster franchise.
