@MaximBordyug.

Spielberg, Lucas and Williams. Changed our lives for the better.

@orcanimal

People do forget how much criticism Speilberg received initially, because he essentially re-invented the action adventure genre. It took a few major hits (of which he's got plenty now) before critics stopped bashing him

@supafun33

It's funny, I was born at the end of the 80's and by the time I was old enough to appreciate filmmaking, Jurassic Park was his big hit, but he'd already done most of the films he's known for: Jaws, ET, Raiders, etc... You'd hear stories about how nothing on Jaws worked and no one believed in him, but the narrative was that after Jaws, Spielberg pretty much had the keys to the kingdom.

@StaceyClark-s4d

Same same same.. respect . ❤

@mykal.7424

I have a great memory of things. Spielberg was never panned by critics it was more the Academy Awards would overlook him...Jaws , Close Encounters, Raiders, E.T. ,The color purple all films either with a best picture nomination or best director nomination and he won nothing until he won his first with Schindler's List.

@StaceyClark-s4d

Lex respect., spirit was pushing me I’d never go for it!!😂😂😂

@thetravisgreene

What a get! Bob Rodriguez es el hombre mejor!

@msigartau

Nice!

@StaceyClark-s4d

If I may be blunt 😂❤🎉

@markwrede8878

His advice would be: Network. Don't read books. Crib your movie from other movies.

@StaceyClark-s4d

I believe he will find a better way one day it just wasn’t meant to be.

@StaceyClark-s4d

Nice Lex, thank you. We should write a book one day. 😂

@StaceyClark-s4d

His integrity will never match mine. At the end of the day we’re just not in a-line- ment

@StaceyClark-s4d

Authenticity isn’t your strong point t we forgive you. No worries dude. You do you. ❤ not you lex

@tristanrcox

I can't fathom knowing that Spielberg got bashed by critics. I mean, sure, it might of happened. I just was anticipating something else from this video.

@PotatoJonson

I went to film school and he’s right, all the professors would clown on Spielberg. I remember one saying “his movies are like amusement parks”. Yah, they are an escape and they make a ton of money. 😂

@stephenward7856

When people bash Spielberg I feel embarrassed for them.

World changing movies, for sure….
If there is one persistent complaint about Spielberg, that I personally relate to, it’s “his movies talk so much, but say so little”…
Something about lacking a deeper message.
