I guarantee that no oct 7th survivor who has talked about the IOF indiscriminately killing hostages gets interviewed in this

if someone made a multi-part series that sought to "proportionately" display death and destruction done to Palestinians and Israelis (based only on numbers of dead) they could produce a 10 part, one hour per episode series and spend only 30 mins on Israeli deaths and the other 9.5/10 hrs on Palestinian deaths. and that's just as of right now. And also only based on deaths not accounting for missing, injured, total destruction of Gaza making it unliveable, etc. That ratio is only going to worsen and perhaps in the end the "balance of suffering" will make it only 15 mins of a 10 hour series on just the events of Oct 7 and going forward. ignoring the 75 years which would keep pushing that ratio down to being generous to even give Israelis a 1 minute fast-mention of violence done to them and basically a solid 10 hours explaining what the Israelis did to the Palestinians.

I know that's a somewhat silly way to look at it, but this project, when framed in context, is beyond silly. It's grotesque. He plans to make a documentary to explain and forgive the crimes of Israel and condemn the population which has been completely victimized for basically a century.

I'm not exaggerating when I say it would be like someone making a film about the Nazis and how the mean Soviets and western allies beat them up for the small crime of wanting an Aryan homeland. Or something like that. Of course films like this exist (Birth of a Nation?) and most people (rightfully) view them as gross and for what they are... apologia for horrific behavior. They're seen now days, separated by time, that way anyway.

It's probably too much of a stretch, but, fuck it. Spielberg is known for a ton of good movies including Schindler's List. That movie has always sat a tad bit uneasy with me because although it depicts (as far as I'm aware) a pretty much accurate story, he also throws in a dash of Zionism that even when I was younger, and didn't know what Israel even was, I was like "wait why the fuck is this random country honoring this guy?" Spielberg fucking tied the story back into "and Schindler saved all those Jews and some went to Israel so you should support Israel (implied) just like Oskar would have wanted. Don't they deserve a "homeland?""

That shit has been stewing in my brain on a low simmer for like 20 years now. I think I finally found the words to express how I felt when I first watched that movie. I remember it being extremely heart wrenching, he definitely displays the absolute disregard that Nazis had for humanity. You can't help but leave the film thinking or wondering what you'd do, why it happened, etc. A great film as far as storytelling goes. I mean, it's Spielberg, come on. But he just had to add that fucking Zionist shit at the end (maybe it's at the beginning too, been a while).

This fucking guy, he funded a Holocaust museum in one of the few Synagogues left in Cuba, which is a good thing, right? The Holocaust is literally one of the world's greatest tragedies.

EXCEPT when I went to see it recently, it talked about the Holocaust, si, but it was also chock full of plaques about the beauty of Israel's project and there were a ton of those "bring them home" posters everywhere. There were even posterboards talking about antisemitism still existing in the imperial core, which, yeah! But half of it was just about Jeremy fucking Corbyn.

Anyway I hate anything this dickhead touches now.

God I hate that shitstain. Let me dump another shitty thing he did in this thread. Did you know that he actively prevents people from making movies that feature any of MLK's speech's. He owns the film rights to them and sits on them to make sure they are in no way preserved or depicted in film.

Fuck his zionist ass. It would be so funny if he visited isntreal and got 🔻

Weird way to announce Ready Player Two, but ok

“I don’t think there’s enough propaganda. I know, I’ll make more!”

if we are talking about insurgent operations across the history of just modern warfare, the october 7th one is not even particularly brutal or barbaric and is only notable in its scale

Oh cool a thread where I get to point out a disturbing thing in Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan.

You ever noticed how the GIs bleed and the German soldiers don't, really? I'm not saying you should feel a whole lot of sympathy for the wehrmacht jabronis but it is striking once you notice it. Aside from a few shots most of the time they just explode with powdery dust and slump over like so many storm troopers. The GIs bleed out, call for their mothers, moan scream, but not their enemies.

Aside from more nuanced takes this was the thing I noticed that started me down the path of becoming very critical of the film. It's fuckin weird, y'all.

He's going to show gunships going frantic mercing thier own people right?

The subsequent massive genocide of the Palestinians right?

I heard they're already screening the first 40 minutes or so of this production to select journalists.

Hasn’t made a decent movie since War of the Worlds (2005). “Not my blood! Not my blood!”

Will it play in closed theaters with a select list of guests, who will be under NDA?

Same guy libified Jurassic Park

What a waste

It could’ve been so much more

Even as a kid, I wondered why the main villain in the Young Sherlock Holmes was an Egyptian. Better yet, that Egyptian was actually Moriarty! Spielberg was probably still butthurt from the Yom Kippur War.

Sure, the biker gang from down the highway just burned down an entire small town, but the fact that one guy from there shot one of their little cousins is much more important (and it’s the townspeople’s fault for not voting that shooter out when they had the chance anyway (and the gang had a right to burn down their old apartments and force them to move to the town too, and they can use the Main Street as a firing range as much as they want))

Didn't they already do an October 7th propaganda film? As an aside, I like Jaws and Jurassic Park, but otherwise this guy's movies are boring or completely unappealing to me.

I hope someone “accidentally” categorizes it as fiction assuming it’s just gonna parrot settler propaganda.

Has anyone here seen The Fabelmans? I really hated that movie. It was nifty when it started and it was 50s nostalgia and how these kooky kids make movies, like the house running out of toilet paper when they make a mummy movie. Then idk Seth Rogen cucks his dad and nobody really seems to care much either way. It leads to a divorce but a super amicable one. Spielberg analogue gets bullied at school but its like one dude leaves a bagel in his locker. Whenever something bad happens, Spielbergs dad buys him film equipment thats really expensive that nobody else wouldve had. Spielberg films his high schools senior skip day, and the jock is like “you made me look too good i can NEVER live up to that. You better not put this in a movie looks at camera and winks” For a day or two after watching the movie I tried thinking about how this scene is about the discrepancy between movies and real life blah blah but then i realized wait its just Spielberg giving himself backhanded compliments. The movie ends with Spielberg going to a movie studio and meeting David Lynch playing John Ford whose only advice is to put the horizon on either the top or the bottom part of the frame. He walks away and the camera adjusts to meet that advice. This ending feels incredibly tacked on and couldve easily felt more natural with a ten second reshoots scene of Young Spielberg fretting about shot composition.

Idk watching the movie will make you way less impressed with Spielberg. Yeah if i had a 1946 birth year headstart, tons of neighborhood kids willing to act/crew in my movie and a rich Dad who works for IBM who constantly kept buying me film equipment, maybe I coulda been Spielberg too. Most people couldve been.
