    This is incredible. Spielberg probably told this story countless times and now he’s recreated it perfectly in The Fabelmans

      Oh Jesus, he's perfect. He pretty much looks just like Ford in those last years. I guess decades of smoking were building up to this.

      He was great in his five minutes, especially as elements of his performance felt like they would fit in with a "Twin Peaks" episode.

    I’m no expert, but I think this Spielberg guy became a damn good picture maker. John Ford would reluctantly be pleased.

    Fableman’s really was a love letter to cinema and so glad Spielberg gave this to the cinephiles who enjoy movies so much. Beautiful story telling and knowing it was inspired by his childhood made it all the more endearing.

    Spoilers for The Fabelmans:
    Not having seen this interview until after seeing The Fablemans, it’s cool how Spielberg more or less took this personal anecdote and made a 90%+ recreation of it. LaBelle and Lynch did a fantastic job with the comedic timing, and the punchline with the final shot is just the perfect cherry on top.

  • @fabulousfrance

    That message about the horizon i think it's a metaphore of how you should make movie, you have to be subtile and unpredictible the horizon is a metaphore for the end or conclusion of a movie. If the horizon is in the frame center people figure too early how the movie will end. I think Spielberg understood and took that advice, his movies have great subtilities also he became the master of suspense in most of his movies

    • @antoinepetrov
      @antoinepetrov  2 роки тому +3

      This is an interesting hypothesis, but knowing John Ford's persona I hardly believe that's what he meant. I think it's just an ambiguous advice from a master composer of images.

    • @marcl2213
      @marcl2213 Рік тому

      Ford was explaining it from the point of view of the painters and also for the way you create a composition for a picture (either painting or making a movie). If the horizon is right at the middle of the frame it’s making the composition boring. If the horizon is high or low it makes your composition a lot more interesting.
