The first 15 minutes of Raiders, the Omaha beach in Private Ryan, the chase in ET. All stick in the memory beyond the movie's theme or characters. Much like most animated films, the parts exceed the whole.<BR/><BR/>This doesn't take away from him as a master manipulator and as a result, great director.<BR/><BR/>I thought the TCM documentary was good but as with most of Spielberg's work controlled and stage managed-manipulated-to please his audience.J Casualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03185820410686527969noreply@blogger.com
