Spielberg/Grazer/Howard - "John Ford"

[radiosant]

you see this and sort of half feel for and admire Spielberg since that must have been a fairly traumatizing experience. he took it on the chin, persevered and became one of the most famous film directors ever. then the other half remembers that Spielberg is a shit "picturemaker" who never really learned to appreciate art.

I love it. This was the one and only moment between the two greatest American film directors and this is what happened. Brilliant.

Hahaha john ford probally thought spielberg was an idiot. Wow was he wrong!

[celestian1111]

@4ndreGusmao I interpreted that completely different. I don't think he thought Spielberg was an idiot, I think it was just his no nonsense style. he did gave him Spielberg  audience, superb advice and an enviable story to recant. Telling that story was meaningful to Spielberg.

spielberg is a vegetarian, and donated thousands to a horse sanctuary here in l.a.

Thanks for the interviews Mr. Favreau. I loved your Freddiew movie and how you reached out and embraced the Youtube community. I will forever be a fan.

Wow. What an amazing story to see that one Legendary Director met another. This just shows to follow your dreams everyone.

"Get the fuck out of here!!!" Poor young Spielberg.

[cyborlite]

@ortebalm09 No! Lucky young Spielberg. He meet John Ford and got a lesson in filmmaking from him. Clearly the lesson had an impact on Spielberg, don't ya think?

[ortebalm09]

@cyborlite Hphmm I guess! didn't thought about it!

[nhurtbeans]

Holy crap. I am in LA for the summer and I want to be a director. This is what I need to do!

[Brittonsp]

@nhurtbeans Yeah, screw film school and getting any real skill at directing. Just gatecrash a set. Good luck with that.
