You know it's Spielberg if you are tearing up just from watching clips from his movies.
I know lol!!!
lol ikr!
THIS!!!
This is so accurate. The schindler's list makes me cry everytime.
OMG so true! I'm leaking like a sieve over here 😂
Schindler's List has changed me as a person entirely. I was racist and bigot before I watched Schindler's List.. But now.. I believe in Humanity.
Bobby S. I'm happy for you. :)
Powerful statement. I too went through a similar transformation watching that film.
damn
This is wonderful to learn, Bobby S. Thank for giving us some hope!
your bravery
Steven Spielberg is truly the best film director of all time. The music swell, the timing is right, everything comes together, and you're teary-eyed. That's the satisfaction of the film everyone wants to watch. It's like having the first bite of the most satisfying food in the world. That's Spielberg. Everyone wants to feel righteous and Spielberg gives you the satisfaction of just that. That's the kind of story he makes for his film.
No. I couldn’t disagree more strongly. He’s always promoting obeisance, his films are unoriginal, and question : *nothing* Try some Kubrick, shop around!
@@subversivelysurreal3645 I did shop around, Spielberg, the great thing about him is that his moral positivity gives hope in mankind.
@Subversively Surreal 🙄 Take your wannabe pontificating, pretentious, pomposity back to the schoolyard and go back to getting your thoughts from failed-artist critics.
@@subversivelysurreal3645 Kubrick is too very slow in the progress of the plot.
One of my favorite directors!
Same
Absolutely! He is my personal favorite. My second is Kubrick!
Can you please do these videos for specific genres?
Like "You Know it's French New Wave if" or " Your Know it's NeoNoir if"
Interesting suggestion, thanks!
great suggestion!
You Know It's French New Wave If you are bored.
Sudev Sen now that's a good suggestion
@@CristoMorelli or if it's french...
Awww man, I always love these! I never know what director you guys will pick and when you do pick a director it's always fascinating to find out their "trademarks," as it were, great job, ScreenPrism Crew! Please do Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Guillermo Del Toro and Yorgos Lanthimos!
I trully admire your video essays, and i think that people are forgetting that both tv and cinema are not just art and moving pictures, but means to learn about real life...
This youtube channel reminds that cinema isn't just a means of entertainment but of art and knowledge
Also... Could you please make an analysis on the movie Frida, i mean the one with Salma Hayek
Everytime I hear the Jurassic Park soundtrack my whole body shivers
Bruna Reivax same
Ikr
I really love this series. Maybe you should consider a Baz Luhrmann for an episode. He hasn’t had a ton of movies, but he definitely has his own style.
Agree, great series. As long as people are making suggestions, I'd like to suggest one on Terrance Malick.
You want to get thematic on a Terrance Malick movie? Screenprism would need at least 20+ minutes to break down his approach to moviemaking
Maybe in the future you could do videos about
Billy Wilder
Vincente Minnelli
Tim Burton
Frank Capra
Quentin Tarantino
Nora Ephron
John Ford
Edgar Wright, Taika Waititi and Coen Brothers too
How about some videos for Quentin Tarantino, Akira Kurosawa and Ingmar Bergman?
Ben Wasserman And Edgar Wright !!!
And Tarkovsky
If you can't recognize a Tarantino movie when you see, it then you need help.
Martin Scorsese too
Thank you for another amazing video!
I'd love to see a Guillermo del Toro or Martin Scorcese video
Joseph Bastidas you know it a Scorsese movie when it starts Leonardo DiCaprio
I got one... You know it's Tim Burton if there's really weird really pale people
Gilberto Ignacio Aguirre Vargas and has Johnny Depp and / or Helena Bonham Carter
sam karanja Or Robert de Niro
Joseph Bastidas Yeeees I need me Scorcese
I hadn't noticed how often Spielbreg uses that push in/zoom out (or vice versa) shot. Until now.
Some great ideas in the comments. I'd like to see both Scorcese and Nolan "You Know It's..." videos.
I think Spielberg is a brilliant director. Instead of feeling manipulated, I feel invited to his world. While there, he presents his story and it is always worthwhile. Watching one of his movies is like eating the best chocolate chip cookie in the world. You know it is going to be the best one. It is beautiful and emotional and exactly what you what you want to get. When I think of Schindler's list, it is a movie I have only seen once and yet much of it remains with me 25 years later. The little girl in the red coat, so desperate to remain alive and trying so hard to but failing. The child who hid inside of an outhouse toilet was just as heartbreaking. He did not let us the audience off the hook Even now I could cry just remembering it. There has seldom been another director that could do this to me.
Private Ryan and it's battles are the same for me. But my heart is with The Color Purple. It is at the top of my all time list. It was poetry and a gift to me which I have seen so many times, I wore out my VHS copy of it. The love and care he shot this beautiful movie with was evident in every shot. How do you know you have watched a Spielberg movie? When it lives in your heart and your soul.
Here's some directors you should do:
Peter Jackson
Sam Raimi
James Wan
Matthew Vaughn
Joel Schumacher
"He knows exactly to make you feel how he wants you to feel"
I think that sums up Spielberg perfectly. There are some films of his that I will never watch, or watch again. The emotional manipulation is bad enough, but you add the wall-to-wall music and it's just insufferable.
But I must say, for all of his schlockiness, he's a brilliant director. E.T. hit me hard watching it as a kid, and Lincoln was powerful and important too. Mixed feelings about the man, for sure.
Also, you didn't mention this one, but his first film was a TV movie called Duel, an existential play about a man versus a truck which is actually one of my favorites.
I love Duel. I was hoping for it to pop up in the video but it's always overlooked. I think it's the beginning of a trademark of Spielberg's of not showing too much of a possible threat - we never truly see the truck driver in Duel; we don't see much of the shark in Jaws until much later in the film; we have no idea about the appearance and true intentions of the aliens in Close Encounters of the Third Kind; even the E.T. and the Jurassic Park dinosaurs get this treatment in the first part of the respective movies; the Lost Ark in the first Indiana Jones is also shrouded by mystery; the spirits in Poltergeist (I know it's technically not his film but he has a heavy role in it) are also barely shown until halfway through the movie; the first sequence in Saving Private Ryan is also possibly the most brutal depiction of fog of war - the uncertainty of an enemy's attacks in battle.
They do mention how Spielberg portrays the unknown with light instead of darkness but the trademark itself of barely showing the unknown is even more important, I think, because it's pretty consistent in his filmography since 1971 and it influenced countless films later on, especially in the horror genre, like Alien, Halloween, The Blair Witch Project, The Sixth Sense, Paranormal Activity etc.
your team is my new religion
amen!!!
I really appreciate The Take/Screen Prism. Your observations are showing me there is more to contemporary film than I had thought. Your listenable and natural style invites us in, instead of sounding complicated. I'll keep watching these videos, and learning.
Welcome..to screenprism park
You gonna need a bigger comment section.
Saw ET in 1982. Could never watch it again.
The whole theatre was in tears. Not just sniffling, openly crying. Children were yelling out to parents to make it stop. Not just to save ET but to make the pain the film was causing them to go away. Never saw anything like that again.
I would love for you guys to do a video like this with Quentin Tarantino.
I am a child, so I idolize this guy. He was making movies when he was 12, and I’m 11, but he still impresses me.
He's my favorite director without a doubt.
I thoroughly enjoy everything this channel does. I dont think Ive commented that after all this time but I figured I can throw it on in now. lol
Thanks for Spielberg movies analysis.
In my opinion if we want learn movies we must study 3 directors
1 .akira Kurosawa
2. Stanley Kubrick
3.stephen Spielberg
Kathiravan Ganesh True. Those are the directors who sits at the corners or ends of the spectrum. All other directors style can be properly represented by the mix of styles of these directors.
One of my favorite directors of all time.
You guys make an excellent work on this video - essays. It would be amazing to see the "trademarks" of Francis Ford Coppola, Woody Allen, Werner Herzog, John Carpenter, Quentin Tarantino, and Ridley Scott. As always, keep doing your impressive work, ScreenPrism Crew!
Love this series, lots of room for more excellent content.
My very favorite shot in "Close Encounters" is a quintessential example of "The Spielberg Face" - it's the dolly-in to the balding guy at the keyboard, and damned if you didn't wind up including it minutes later! I think that it's also that particular moment in Williams' score - the high, busy strings and flutes - that, coupled with the image and that actor's face, is what makes the moment so indelible to me. Thank you so much!
I'd like a breakdown of 2 of my favorite directors: Ang Lee and Zhang Yimou. Lee is well-known in Western cinema: he directed Sense and Sensibility; Brokeback Mountain; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon AND Life of Pi, among other things. Zhang is less known perhaps to the mainstream since he is from China but to the international film audience is known for "Red Sorghum", "Raise the Red Lantern", "The Road Home", "House of Flying Daggers", "Hero", etc. among many, many award-winning films. For me my faves are Hitchcock and Zhang. Oh and for blockbusters and innovation: James Cameron and Peter Jackson.
No wonder why I loved his films...the father less tone in many of his movies really got me and had me crying in some cases. Brilliant! I hope one day I can be as amazing him and so many other greats in storytelling within film
You Know It's Robert Zemeckis IF...
LOVE Zemeckis...feel like he's underrated too
Zemeckis movies feel like Speilberg mpvies, so yes I would definitely love to see a video on him. Very underrated director.
This is my first time watching the director special. Thank you for such an amazing work. I'm looking forward to watching an episode on Luca Guadagnino. 😃
I'm not going to lie... I cried. Thank you screenprism! I'm even more in love with this channel every day! I can't wait to see you getting to 1 million
Awesome! Now do David Fincher, Quentin Tarantino, Robert Zemekis, Spike Lee, David Cronberg, Steve McQueen, Alfonso Cuaron, Alejandro Inarritu, Guillermo Del Toro, Terrence Malick and George Miller.
Also, the veterans like Francis Ford Coppola, Frank Capra, Victor Flemming, John Huston, John Ford, Roman Polanski, Carol Reed, Sidney Lumet, Lewis Milestone, William Wyler, Mike Nichols, Arthur Penn, David Lean, Powell and Presburger, William Wyler, William Wellman, Billy Wilder, George Stevens, Fred Zinnemann, Robert Rosen, etc.
Hello? Stanley?
Love your references to other channels. It is clear you guys do your research.
Spielberg is my childhood. As I become an adult, I feel like I've grown out of the sentimentality in Spielberg's films and lean towards more cynical styles like Quentin Tarantino, Sergio Leone, Coen Brothers, Martin Mcdonagh. But Spielberg will always have a special place
For April Fool's Day, you guys should do a "You know it's Michael Bay IF..."
Truth is, he'd be a great one to do. And believe it or not, Michael Bay DOES have things to say.
Armageddon is great
Boom
Please please PLEASE do one on Baz Lurhman, he's my absolutely favorite director of all time! Jaw-dropping costumes, anachronistic soundtracks, grand, sweeping, tragic love stories (Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge, The Great Gatsby,) and probably some of the most faithful adaptations made. 🎬 ❤
Damn I keep forgetting that he's directed so many classics. Good analysis!
I think I had more burst into tears & lose my breath moments to Spielberg flicks than I do with any other flick.
I haven't watched many of Spielberg's films. But I'll keep these in mind while watching next one. Excellent video. Please do one on Martin Scorcese!
Spielberg movies are my childhood... :')
I thought this would be the usual click-bait fluff list. It is actually well-researched and insightful. Really enjoyed it!
A double-bill, yes! I love this series!
Could you please do The Coen Brothers or Joe Wright?
I absolutely love these director analyses. :) Could you do one on David Lean, please?
It might also be interesting to see what defines the "role" some actors choose to portray throughout their career, how they construct it & polish it, who perfects it so well it doesn't get boring or repetitive from on movie to the other.
Please continue this director series.
Remarkable! Great job guys!
could you guys do the same thing with Tim Burton?
and eventually not only directors, but actors too?
MegaAlchemist123 you know its tom cruise if.....you see his face....
I don't know how that could work for actors
to example:
Schwarzenegger. Everytime he is a One-man-army. He is more than a normal soldier/police-man or whatever. Then he makes jokes about himself (to example: last action hero). etc.
but, if you think thats not a good concept it is ok. it was just a idea from me.
A storm with sharks in it, was even just a idea, and now it´s a film with 4 sequels.
(Oh, and btw. sry for my english, if it´s not soo good. it´s not my mother tongue. i live in Germany)
Actors can play a type very often and some actors are drawn to scripts that may have certain things in common. I think there's possible potential in there.
Samuel L Jackson
Thank you for making this. Spielberg is a director I want to study. A true legend indeed.
The man is a genius.....period.
Spielberg is truly the master ^_^ and i hope that i can be just like him along with my other favorite filmmakers one day =)
I love these director analysises...analysi? Whatever. Keep it up ladies!!
Analyses?
Alice Rowe
Thanks! Lol
He defined my generation as much as anyone else. Thanks.
This serie of videos is my fav.
Oh god! You're talking about my favorite director ever! Thank you so much girls! I am so hyped for Ready Player 1!
Love it. (You guys did mix up raiders with the last crusade though)
excellent analysis and explanation...love it!!! Could you please do a video on The Turn of the Screw, the 2009 screen adaptation of Henry James' eponymous novella?? I am a big fan of your videos
Could you ladies do one of these for scorcese?
There was a shooting star in Speilberg's first movie, The Sugarland Express.
Made me cry, that good.
When will you do that video about Jeanie Bueller?
My film teacher pointed out Speilberg enjoys putting circles in his movies, and the more I watch his movies the more often I see them turn up! There's something aesthetically perplexing when there's a circle present on a rectangle frame. Just for thought!
Thank you for using War Horse clips, people just neglect that movie entirely.
You've made me cry!
Amazing video!!!
The Spielberg look = Kuleshov effect
I wonder if I made a Spielberg Face at that one moment during my question at Adventures of Tin Tin panel at 2011 San Diego Comic-Con
It would be interesting to see if you could apply the "you know if" to method actors like Daniel Day-Lewis for example, who by definition immerse themselves in their roles, rather than depict a certain role for most of their careers.
if it's nominated for best picture
But doesn't win because it was too entertaining and not worthy enough.
Schindler´s List won.
Please do Miguel Sapochnik his work (TV & Film) makes me feel like I'm there, like it's happening to me. And Alfonso Cuarón who makes his movies picturesque
I love Spielberg. Please do Tim Burton soon! Awesome work as always. Keep it up!
His focus on hands is also another trademark of Spielberg
His mother said that their house was always full of cords all over the floors connecting to things!!!!
Tim Burton! Please 😇
Ivanray Pachel Fuck, man!!! Are you really that fucking desperate?
Ivanray Pachel loool
Edward scissorhands❤
You are about 2 years too early
you guys are the best, SRSLY
This human being and his work is more important to me than most people in my life.
I'm just glad that E.T. clip had shotguns and not the lame radios. I only know the VHS version (and yes, the tape with the green top and black body)
Spielberg is basically a guy with tremendous faith in humanity. Almost every remark derives from that :)
Like James Franco, Spielberg is one of those filmmakers whos films are so imposing and natural, I don't notice the style. Amazing
Does anyone know the song played in the background when she is talking about the Spielberg Face?
For big budget, special fx blockbuster type films you definitely get your money's worth of entertainment value with Spielberg. His films are always visually breathtaking & emotionally manipulative ;)
Spielberg is my favorite director so I'm glad you did this. But it's true the sentimental stuff can be a bit overbearing lol
Please make one of these videos about Miyazaki or Takahata!
Christopher Nolan
David Fincher
Quentin Tarantino
Martin Scoresese
Stanley Kubrick
GUNNERY SGT HARTMAN thay already did few of those
Childhood!! Mr. Spielberg as well as other heroes of mine all taught me it was ok not to grow up as long as you don’t forfeit maturity.
The funny thing that Spielberg is Sagittarius and I'm glad to be a Sagittarius.
It would've been a funny ending about the mirrors if they showed the one where Indy in Raiders is looking at a mirror then Karen Allen flips it smacking him on the jaw.
i was crying in the end ??
i didnt know that "the color purple" is a Spielberg movie!. That movie means alot to black ppl
Spell of Steven Spielberg
by Screen Prism
Video idea:
You Know It's Gaspar Noé IF...
I love how middle class in America is 'can afford a detached house and 2 cars' and middle class means basically the majority, normal person. In England it means like the top 1% and I still don't understand how such a great difference in usage came about.
2:40
THEY PLAYED US LIKE A DAMN FIDDLE!!
Can you please show James Gray films? 🍿 are incredible director!!!
Also Spielberg's movies usually feature a car chase scene
Please do one for David Fincher and Yorgos Lanthimos
Great wee film:)
