Choosing Lynch to play Ford is brilliant not just because he caught how Ford was, but the fact that Lynch is an artist (and Ford was too before he got into film directing), and an artist explaining composition to a budding filmmaker makes a lot of sense.
What's so fascinating about this scene (& the movie as a whole) is that this is Spielberg's life as he remembers it, which probably elevates & embellishes as any recollection you, I, or anyone else would have when sharing it. Steven Spielberg is not going to sit down in some suite or beach resort to write down his memoirs as many who have authored an autobiography have done. He filmed his. He has always seen life through the glossy viewfinder of his psyche. If Shakespeare tasked himself to pen his experiences, it would be set to different acts & scenes. If a contemporary like Quentin Tarantino were to follow suit & make his own "Fablemans", it would jump around in nonlinear settings, possibly with one or more seemingly unrelated narratives, that seamlessly weave together to make a evocative (& provocative) whole. This little moment Spielberg describes to Favreau, Graber, & Howard is brought to life with extraordinary truth onscreen.
Bardo is a bit like what you’re describing. it’s also a much better film that actually uses cinema to tell a story, instead of just telling a story in a cinema.
It's amazing how the short film manages brush over all the details of the anecdote while making up new, less interesting details. Otherwise very entertaining video.

This might be the greatest bit of casting in film history.
Lynch does a great job!!!! Best cameo in movie history!! I was torn apart emotionally when I saw it..
Great scene! Want to see whole movie now. Arguably the two greatest American directors depicted in the office. Arguably.

Kid getting flustered on the second picture is hilarious
How good was that? Priceless
But what makes this scene really work is the next part, on the studio lot.
The secretary gets me everytime 😂
that record scratch sound xD
this is so similar to David Lynch's appearance in the show Louie
I love classic western films and John Ford was the best at making them.
Where did you get this? It's awesome! Rule of thirds.
Why is the clip in black and white? LOL
David lynch for best supportiing actor 😎
for only 1 minute?
@@jackprescott9652 well, the oscars always award people for a 5 second clip 😄
TC as Ethan Hunt & David Lynch as John Ford...
Oh my God. He nailed the tongue.
Lynch should've worn an earpiece and shout
Right, still, reminiscences should be respected, ans so he probably did.
hermoso

David Lynch is a God
