well, it is submitted before I finished.
I mean I feel a bit better about Speilberg due to his support for LOA.

To his credit, he supported the LOA retoration. That is way
Haha, I am with you here. I might not be as adamant but I understand you must have “suffered” professionally as a film maker in current film making environment so you do have the right to be harsh.
It is indeed depressing to find such a gifted director openly (and almost shamelessly) declares that he always intends to make “great” B movies.
I am not sure about your statement of the standing of Schidler’s list. Though I never get the hype, it seems to be widely praised by critics and the public for reasons that I never understand.
As for his manipulation of emotions, one example came into my mind is the last sequence in Saving Private Ryan. Spielberg’s devise to get Tom Hanks to spare the life of a German soldier and then get the very German soldier to kill Hanks, is off-putting for me – very melodramatic and shallow black&white characterization.
