Steven is such a decent person. I interviewed him when I was an AFI student and he was only 29, editing JAWS. He gave me 2 full hours of his time at Universal Studios.
Wow, how lucky you are 😍
What was he like back then? Please tell us.
@@jabeirshariff9494 He was so laid back, like a big kid -- clean-shaven then and dressed in jeans and dungaree shirt. Full disclosure, we had met at a party in Malibu at the home of USC professor Arthur Knight so he knew who I was, but he could nor have been nicer, or more generous with his time with me. What I found astounding is that, though secretive about his next project (what would become"Close Encounters"), he had in mind both the skeleton of "Indiana Jones" and a rough idea of 'ET" (this was 1975 -- so several years before either actually came out!)
the way they both laughed when steven said he was happy w everyone he chose 😭😭
What do you mean? Are you talking about you-know-who and about you-know-what that he allegedly did?
Are you crying, honey? Don't cry. They are not your friends or your family. They are total strangers who don't care about you. Live your own life and stop worshiping strangers.
@@lukeskywalker6809 um, thats not really what i meant but ok LOL. was talking ab what ^^^Markus referenced
@@lukeskywalker6809 the crying emoji in this context means im laughing if ur confused .....
@@katrinaeloize Then why did you put a crying emoji?
Rachel looks so overwhelmed, and I mean, who wouldn’t be? So proud of her, she’s a star!
She's just acting. She's so full of herself.
@@lukeskywalker6809 why?
@@Mariasantacruz2005 ignore Luke he is just an internet trolls seeking out attention.
@@Mariasantacruz2005 She has not one honest bone in her body. She's using her fans to worship her, she doesn't care about you or anyone else but herself.
@@dancer4life273 Having a different opinion is not trolling, it's what it is: another opinion. It's YOU who's the troll and a bully.
I am just thrilled for her! I remember just finding her on Twitter randomly and being obsessed with her voice. And now look at her!! This is incredible.
Steven seems like an approachable person, he really took everyone under his wing and they are a family and it’s amazing that Rachel is the female lead and she’s one of the youngest actors in the cast including Maddie who is 19 and Rachel is 20 🥰🥰
Her life is a dream!
The fact that she was in Shrek and he produced Shrek
And the fact that she had Rita Moreno's photo in her locker!
And she played Maria in High School!
I need her manifestation powers!
Seems like a great human, can't wait to watch this! So excited!
Crazy how he was basically a legend before she was even born
Beauty of Diversity!💜💚

Beautiful girl.

Ok
I hope Steven doesn't kick Rachel to the curb anytime soon. Everyone remembers the time when Steven Spielberg kicked Shia LaBeouf to the curb after he publicly apologized for giving people the misguided assumption that Mutt Williams was going to take over Indiana Jones' adventures at the end of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull during an interview at the Cannes Film Festival in May, 2010.
It was actually when Shia compared working either Spielberg with a assembly line and that Shia basically said every film he did with Spielberg was terrible. Its one thing to be honest as a person but when you bite the hand you that feeds you, you won't get feed again. Plus Shia is a great actor but from what I've heard...he's garbage as a person from the drug arrests and domestic abuse and battery...
@@mfrogg Actually, that 2016 interview never would have been published if Steven had appreciated Shia’s honesty about Indiana Jones back in May, 2010. I’m angry that Steven never apologized to Shia.
Shia insulted him right?
@@idaf3028 Nope. Shia offered Steven some constructive criticism and Steven's ego couldn't handle it.
@@Hectorferjr2 why are you defending Shia Labeouf ? He brutally beat one of his exes and knowingly passed a sexually transmitted disease to her . He also emotionally abused her , doing things like driving recklessly and threatening to crash the car if she didn’t proclaim her love for him . He’s a disgusting creature . Another ex of his has a similar experience . I often disagree with Steven but what he did with Shia was dodge a bullet .
1:32 yup. She sure did get tortured multiple times . Lol it’s all over her face too. That’s Hollywood folks
She seems like she's willing to do anything, so desperate for fame.
I'm like the rest of the world with nothing but mega love for Steven Spielberg on every front. But he appears infatuated by Rachel Zeglar (a.k.a. Cute Young Girl) and she seems to be playng up to him and manipulating him with border line "flirty" looks and coy smiles. This from the woman who at all other times is described as strong, confidant, assertive, brash, outspoken and intelligent. Yet when she is with grand-pa Steven is more doe-eyed and demur and deflecting to his lead batting her eyelashes all the way.
Does anybody else see this? True, I am giving her less than normal benefit of the doubt after seeing her rather strident and opinionated online presenece. Despite all the ballyhoo of her being a modern, strong woman (as though the world hasn't been blessed with modern, strong women before) she seems to be turning on the charm and flattery to an older Steven Spielberg in his 70's possibly because she knows who is buttering her bread and she know how to get what she wants. Where is Kate Capshaw to ride shotgun to protect her husband Steven from the attentions of a young Gold Digger? Don't shoot me for saying it, I'm just the messenger. SHE's the one doing it, not me! I think Steven Spielberg is too nice a guy (and possibly too old) to realize he's being preyed upon by a young actress using her acting skils? gifts? CHARMS? to flatter and use him. Kate! Come quick! Steven needs you!
You’re seeing something that’s not even there. Let me guess. You were bothered by her comments like a lot of others & you’re just looking for any more excuses to throw her under the bus. Why else would you be saying all this?
New West Side Story:
1. Good idea to have Rita Marino inserted into the Steven Spielberg script of *West Side Story*
2. Best Actress role for Oscar nomination for Spielberg's version will be Maria (Rachel Zegler) and then Anita (Ariana DeBose) for supporting Oscar nomination. I think Rachel Zegler's acting for Maria, was better than Natalie Wood in Robert's Wise production.
3. Second choice for best supporting actress: Rita Marino. (yes again)
4. I did not like any of the character actors choice for either the Jets or Sharks in this Spielberg version. There was no a manly handsome guy in either gang.
5. I did not like the first act of the Spielberg version as much as the Robert Wise/Jerome Robbin's version, however the second act of Spielberg's version made up for the 1st act's shortcomings. Spielberg's first act of his movie was too, dark.
6. My choice for which movie was better would be the flawless *1st* West Side Story. Robert Wise/Jerome Robbin's version was the better direction in the 1st Movie version of the play. However the second act of Spielberg's version made tears come from my eyes, but don't tell anybody as I don't want my manhood questioned.
7. In the first movie the Jet gang gave respect for the little girl playing on the ground and walked around her play area. In the Spielberg version the Jets ripped up the little girls artwork on the ground. I could not get behind the Jets after that.
8. The dance scenes in both versions were equally good, however the Robert Wise/Jerome Robbin's version had all better camera composition on all frames. The colorful lighting on the Robert Wise/Jerome Robbin’s movie made a lot of scenes magical.
9. Spielberg claimed he did not want to copy the first, Robert Wise version, however he did in the opening. In the first, Wise version, we have an aerial shot flying over Manhattan, in Spielberg's version we have an aerial shot flying over the demolished section of the gang area with same Robert Wise sounding intro music.
10. Spielberg's version of West Side Story will be nominated for *Best Picture* Oscar this year. However, from the *WOKE* Hollywood, they might choose another low budget foreign movie with another language made movie like Parasite with no whites in it, that nobody will see, but won for diversity's sake. Parasite movie (looked like a college student made film) winning Best Picture over *1917* a real professional movie. And like Spielberg's movie, *Saving Private Ryan* that did not win Best Picture, which it should have, got beat by that that terrible love movie *Shakespeare in Love* again, that nobody saw.
11. Why couldn't Spielberg worry about that most all the actors should be Peuto Rican have to be Puerto Rican? That could be looked as racist decision on WOKE Spielberg. High class acting is art, that a great actor could pull it off being a Puerto Rican even if he is not in real life a Puerto Rican. Yes we hated all the 1940 movies where they always picked a white actor to play an Asian, that obviously did not look even near an Asian. The great Spielberg would deny another race to play any role unless they are the same race of the character portrayed? This is a slam in the face of all actors. Example, he could have used actors from any South American country or other country as long as they really looked and acted Puerto Rican. Come on man! Let all actors try out from any race as long as they really look and act the part.
13. What was that freak dark character tranny character that used to be a tom boy girl in the Robert Wise movie? We could see in the Robert Wise movie that this was a tom boy girl that we liked. However in this movie, we don't know who this scary creature from hell was in Spielberg's version. Spielberg was again trying to be WOKE by picking a real tranny freak character from this year’s 2021 to make the LGBTQ people today happy. That demonic freak character was a bust.
14. There will be other Oscar nominations beside best picture for this one.
i stopped agreeing w you the moment you started being racist lol. also your blatant transphobia is gross
anyone think they smashin??????
Definitely
Steven's new side piece. Lucky.
to bad rebooting this did not work -- get woke to just MAKE MONEY go BROKE
