"When you have a dream it doesn't often come at you screaming in your face, "This is who you are, this is who you are meant to be for the rest of your life." Sometimes a dream almost whispers, the hardest thing to listen to, your instincts, your human personal intuition, --- it always whispers, it never shouts. Every day of your lives you have to listen to what whispers in your ear and if you can listen to the whisper and it tickles your heart, and it is something you think you want to do for the rest of your life, then that is what you are going to do for the rest of your life, and then we will benefit from everything you do." - Steven Spielberg
It's not even a matter of liking or disliking Stephen Spielberg, he is THE director. The dictionary has a picture of his face next to the definition of director.
Lamenting how young he used to be and this was 11 years ago. This story is very well presented in his new movie about his youth and involvement in movie making.
Early in this clip he said he was a dreamer. Dreams cultivate imagination which is what he thrived on and led to his success in film production. You can tell his heart has been tickled many times by the warmth of his presentation. Thank-you Steven Spielberg!
"Disappointed in someone or something that one discovers to be less good than one believes" - oxforddictionaries.com Reading that definition and your response, I still don't understand what you mean by 'disillusioned'. Perhaps it's a new use of language that I don't get, like 'sick' apparently meaning 'good' or 'cool' or whatever the hell it means. I'm sorry if I upset you or misunderstood some point you were making, or read you out of context. I don't come on the internet to make enemies but just occasionally some comment that some random troll posts and I feel compelled to take them on. Occasional mistakes are made, and my apologies if you are the brunt of a mistake. How's that? Feel any better now?
He is a really super decent kind man. Met him in Redlands Ca. He does not care for gold rings, watches, chains, diamonds, fine cars, clothing, and the best of the best. He dresses comfortably and acts naturally. Very intuitive and soft spoken. Very easy to get along with.
So true...I've been saying and working on this personally for years. The heart's desires/your inner voice doesn't scream...it's quiet and undemanding as compared to the head and all it's noisy programming and the gut which is your primal brain/instinct that can save your life with quick clear commands. The inner voice/heart is quiet and asks for space but won't demand it, thus we HAVE to listen to be true to ourselves and ultimately, happy. It can be very hard quieting other people's voices, society's constant yammer and life's pressure and thus our inner voices can get smothered. I know mine did until recently . So cool that this is his advice as I never saw this video before today. I think it's the best advice one will ever get=(listen/trust themselves). Wish I had had this advice in my 20's.
My favorite director of all time, he basically helped make my childhood into a magical place. Hes right tho, the voice that is most right inside of you is a faint whisper and I wish I would've heard it more when I was younger.
How could he remember something so vividly as a six year old? I don't even remember starting school or attending high school with such clarity and descriptive words.
Well, since that started his trains' collection, which spawned many years, it's easy to remember. His dad also probably retold him the story at some point in his life
he said making movies is something he couldn't live without. So i think that's the reason why he became a great director. i'm 17 and i'm really confused right now. I have no idea what i want to do, i just know what i don't want to do. i'm thinking about becoming a movie maker just simply because i love watching movies, and i think that if i become a part of a movie, that will be great. but people say i must have a strong passion and i don't think that something i can't live without. what the hell should i do?
+Ha Nguyen I'm in my 40s and I can tell you I have never been so enthusiastic about anything in life as I am NOW that I am finally facing my lifelong desire to make movies. I have loved movies all my life and I love them so much I want to MAKE them. Reading your comment was like reading something I could have easily written. You are only 17 and already facing this aspect of you? DO IT!!!! You can do it full time, part time, go to school or SELF EDUCATE but DO IT! I regret what I feel has been wasting my life all this time but you have a chance to do something you love in life. You may or may never "make it". You may never even make a DIME. You may be out a few thousand dollars and it only be liked by you and a few others. IT DOESN'T MATTER as long as you are doing what you LOVE.
I've heard that whisper... I am in the travel industry and I've heard the whisper that needs to inspire people. Aspiring filmaker. gosh this is a tear-jerker
He could have been a teacher! Gasp! Although we all would want Spielberg to be the man he is today over a teacher, he would be the nicest teacher ever.
One Of The Best Movie Directors Ever I Love Steven Spielberg So Much I've Seen His Movies Including Jaws Indiana Jones E.T. Jurassic Park and Many Other Ones He's Produced In His Career!
Movies are life. Wanna learn how to make good movies? Learn what makes good life. A part from that, let go of your dreams. Dreams are what causes depressions and entitlement. You think starving Africans have depression and anxiety? No, because they don't have time to worry about how they're living out their dreams. They're worried about how they gonna keep living at all. Step 1. Decide what is you want to be good at Step 2. Let go of any preconceived notions of what success is. Step 3. Appreciate every day you are alive and well whilst simultaneously working towards being good at what you want to be good at Step 4. Take nothing for granted. The world owes you nothing. Thank everyone that puts up with you. Step 5. Recognize the beauty in everything. Once you see the beauty you can re-create it. That's cinema. Step 6. Life Step 7. Profit Step 9. Death. Non of what you did mattered. Every moment you spent in agony was a moment wasted. Now you can't get it back. Love every moment of your life and if you're not loving it, do something different.
Your confusion with the format of cinema with the genre of drama is unmistakable. I have no interest in paying money to see more of life. Cinema is escapism. Believable escapism. The reason people leave one country to go to another is to escape. You can survive anywhere. We were made to dream. We were designed to dream. We resist the mundanity of survivalism at our very core.
Typical Spielberg expanding a simple "I started making movies by filming my toy trains" with a build up story of betrayal, intrigue, destruction, obsession, enlightenment and fate. What a storyteller. He would make an awesome grandpa in his older age.
At such a young age, Spielberg watched a car get on the train tracks and ram itself into the train, causing all the cars to derail and pile up. A long, long time after, he produced a motion picture called 'Super 8', as some of you might remember it from very recently. In this film, there was a scene where a train was passing, when a truck got on the rails and rammed itself into it, derailing all the cars and having them pile up on top of each other. Fascinating.
Steven Spielberg's "I Had A Dream" speech!! Oh please please put out a video of your first boy scout movie! Even of your two trains colliding. I would just die to see them. I am blown away by everything. You didn't have that movie star parent, or the stage mom to push you along. You didn't even have anything to do!! All created out of nothing, or of the greatest thing = your G-d given brain. And you have miraculously kept the child in you going. That is evident especially in the joy of all you do. Steven I truly salute you, and am so grateful there is still someone like you among us.
Summary: Spielberg's directing career started with filming his two toy trains crashing into each other. Later he made a short western to earn his Boy Scout photography badge. The audience response he received to his short western made him a director. "The hardest thing to listen to (your intuition) always whispers, never shouts."
''It all started by accident''...no Steven...it's not an accident, we can't escape our destiny. Even if it was an accident, millions of fans thank you for that accident.
I feel the same way about Quentin Tarantino. I know I may seem like another 16 year old boy who has a ridiculous dream, but it is honestly the only thing I imagine myself doing in the future; directing. Moreover, to continue Quentin's legacy.
Gus Jahn Hey, somebody will have to be the next generation of filmmakers. That's how I see it. You see these big guys and feel intimidated now but one day you'll be among others your same age with the same dream.
Man this video made me cry at the very end... Thank you Steven Spielberg for all you have done for kids like me. I may not have grown up with you’re movies coming out, but when I was introduced to them I fell in love and other than doll videos I’ve made short films and scripts and just have so much passion it’s hard to explain half the stuff in my head to friends who don’t share the same eye. I hope to meet him one day I might die right after but it will have been worth it lol... so from the bottom of my heart thank you Spielberg for adding more fuel to my psssion that had me confused until I watched this ❤️😭
I love Steven he has always been my inspiration. Thanks Steven for your words of wisdom and encourgment. I was a background actor in the movie 'The Terminal' with Tom Hanks. What an awesome experience.
When scrolling through Facebook, just seeing Stephen Spielberg making a speech-even a brief one- is an automatic 'click' and I watch it. A charming, humorous and intelligent man who is great fun to listen to. I actually didn't see DeMille's The Greatest Show On Earth until I was an adult- but at age 6 my parents took me to The Cow Palace SF where I saw Ringling Brothers' Barnum and Bailey Circus. I am forever grateful to them. It gave me a touchstone to understanding Fellini's work, wheras in an interview I heard the Great Martin Scorsese say he just didn't 'get' circuses, even though he loves Fellini.
I see the vídeo and when he listen the part when he said, he decisión comes from your head and not of your eyes, you are ready for realise your dream. Is amazing :D
Tarintino is one of the very greatest directors alive today, and one of the most innovative, especially in the area of camera work. Spielberg is, by most everyone's opinion in the business, the greatest overall director that has ever lived. He is a brilliant genius in all areas of directing and can provide us with movies in ways that no one else can.
Watch MAINSTREAM to find out how the movie industry works and how to get into it as an actor, writer or director. ua-cam.com/video/evYyDsmSzdo/v-deo.html
I'm young, but I'm already writing my own scripts/screenplays. I'm hoping to become a writer and director for movies. It seems as though it is very hard to get into the movie business now, mostly I just need a lucky break and maybe my dream will come true... Or, in this case, on screen.
One way to get a lucky break is not to wait for it but to look for it. You are a storyteller, create your own jobs and put yourself out there. That's where you find your lucky break.
Even as a complete novice, he was already thinking about editing in-camera. Most people would just shoot it in one master, yet he knew to shoot seperately one train moving left-to-right and then the other right-to-left and then combine the two to achieve the most dramatic effect. And it's just a kid making his first 8mm movie.
Fascinating..I checked out that crash scene from the movie you mentioned, that was pretty impressive.. I'm animation student, and I can't imagine getting my head around trying to recreate that scene.. so many things moving around.. the only thing that didn't look so real in that movie when you play it back on slow was the dummy human driver they used... but I guess the scene happened so fast, that doesn't really matter so much.. loved what you said about dreams sneak up on you from behind, not infront, they whisper, such insight there, and that it not being a choice, I feel that way about doing animation.. that really resonating a lot of truth with me there..
Kind of weird they laugh when he says "study english as a fall back career", just because he made it big, doesn't mean it was a ridiculous idea to have something to fall back on...
it is a joke...and not because of the Teaching aspect but because you have pretty much the greatest director in Cinema History up to this point saying that his father wanted him to have a fall back career just incase he didnt make it. The guy is worth billions, he has taken tons of movies to Blockbuster success and like I said before is considered the greatest director in cinema history. So they laughed because it sounded funny that how talented he is, how determined he is, that his father still said he may need a fall back career. Which is very logical but if you think back to what he has accomplished its like saying to Michael Jordan... "Hey Mike, study english so you can be a teacher just incase Basketball doesn't work..." or to Tiger Woods, or to Hockey God Wayne Gretzky... no one was being an asshole and claiming teaching is bad or that it was ridiculous to have something to fall back on its just funny in comparison. Stop trying to read more into something just to start drama.
The joke is that people who take English degrees are usually encouraged to pick something else as a fallback. In Spielberg's case, he chose English itself as the fallback.
Thanks to my dad and grandparents I saw countless movies at a very young age, I never really put much thought into them, but as I grew older I could tell I cared more about them than most others. As I grew older I gained an interest in film criticism, not so I could know what to watch, but just to hear other people share my passion. As a teenager, I started writing my own short screenplays and stories as a hobby. [CONT]
I had the same feeling when I showed my "movie" to my classmates and teacher at school like 4 years ago I just want to make films for the rest of my life without having to worry about money :\
***** I wanted to make movies since I was 6. Went to film school/studied all types of cinema for decades. Thought that my passion would pay off in itself, but there's something filmmakers/teachers don't tell you: The only way to become a director is to direct a movie. The only thing you need to make a movie is the money to make a movie. Had I known that, I would have never approached film from the bottom of the film industry.
Cineman Steve I just kinda figured it out. I started learning everything about film and one day I just figured, the only real way (at least for me) is to get some cash and make films that's it.
***** Never go to film school. Its like majoring in art, your just limiting your creativity to a specific manner which is taught in a school and nobody wants to watch movies that are similar to each other. Heck Quentin Tarantino dropped out of high school and is a great movie director.
Thats very true about what you want to be or do doesn't always shout. I just realized one day how obsessed and in love I'd become with movies. Can't imagine doing anything else...
This guy! Man can he make movies! I remember the first time i saw raiders, it was pure coinsidence! The movie had just started like 3 minutes earlier i zapped to that chanel. And wow was i blown away! What an experience! Out of nowhere. (Yeah back then there were no mobiles, no flat screens, and the internet barely existed on a few computers as big as a house or so ;) It just catapulted me into another world! Unexplainable! :D What i wanted to say: Teachers may be the most underpaid heroes (2.00) yes, but not in the world. Only to some countries. Where i live a teacher earns pretty darn well! Anyways, it made me laugh but it isn't meant as disrespect! I still am a huge fan!
He has the capability to make the audience see visuals just by speaking. So no wonder how he does the magic when he is filming with all equipment.
I worked on "Indiana Jones 4" and watched Steven work up close. He is a movie genius. Truly amazing....
Lucky you!
Why would be lie ??

I know someday,in God's time, he will be my First director on my first film........I can do it.thank you God.
Amen
This is a great story regardless of what type of dream you have. Love it.
This is simply great.
Wonderful speech from Steven! A real artist!
What a great man, a genius. I would love to be like him someday!
That ending made me want to hug that man! Such an inspiration!
I see the vídeo and when he listen the part when he said, he decisión comes from your head and not of your eyes, you are ready for realise your dream. Is amazing :D
Tarintino is one of the very greatest directors alive today, and one of the most innovative, especially in the area of camera work. Spielberg is, by most everyone's opinion in the business, the greatest overall director that has ever lived. He is a brilliant genius in all areas of directing and can provide us with movies in ways that no one else can.
Love his story of how filmmaking began for him!

Watch MAINSTREAM to find out how the movie industry works and how to get into it as an actor, writer or director. ua-cam.com/video/evYyDsmSzdo/v-deo.html
I'm young, but I'm already writing my own scripts/screenplays. I'm hoping to become a writer and director for movies. It seems as though it is very hard to get into the movie business now, mostly I just need a lucky break and maybe my dream will come true... Or, in this case, on screen.
Don't do it.
go for it follow your dreams never let anyones criticism put you down
China White Unless it is constructive criticism
One way to get a lucky break is not to wait for it but to look for it. You are a storyteller, create your own jobs and put yourself out there. That's where you find your lucky break.
Shut the fuck up Tim Myers you wanka.
Even as a complete novice, he was already thinking about editing in-camera. Most people would just shoot it in one master, yet he knew to shoot seperately one train moving left-to-right and then the other right-to-left and then combine the two to achieve the most dramatic effect. And it's just a kid making his first 8mm movie.
So cool that Super 8 played an homage to the train wreck scene in The Greatest Show on Earth.
dreams always come from behind you.. they sneak up on you. Sometimes a dream almost whispers.. tickled my heart
him ,george lucas, and quentin tarrantino are my favorite director, they are pretty much i wanna be a director!
+Ta Ha ME TOO!!
Me too, I also like Wes Anderson and the Russo brothers.
Fascinating..I checked out that crash scene from the movie you mentioned, that was pretty impressive.. I'm animation student, and I can't imagine getting my head around trying to recreate that scene.. so many things moving around.. the only thing that didn't look so real in that movie when you play it back on slow was the dummy human driver they used... but I guess the scene happened so fast, that doesn't really matter so much.. loved what you said about dreams sneak up on you from behind, not infront, they whisper, such insight there, and that it not being a choice, I feel that way about doing animation.. that really resonating a lot of truth with me there..
Hey, if I become a screenwriter/director in the future, then I want to thank this speech and Steven himself
Same Thing With Me Even Though I Also Want To Be a Movie Actor Besides Being a Film Director and Film Producer!
Steven Spielberg, constantly always the storyteller.
Kind of weird they laugh when he says "study english as a fall back career", just because he made it big, doesn't mean it was a ridiculous idea to have something to fall back on...
He meant that teaching is known for not really being a great profession due to the low income. At least that's how I saw it though.
it is a joke...and not because of the Teaching aspect but because you have pretty much the greatest director in Cinema History up to this point saying that his father wanted him to have a fall back career just incase he didnt make it. The guy is worth billions, he has taken tons of movies to Blockbuster success and like I said before is considered the greatest director in cinema history. So they laughed because it sounded funny that how talented he is, how determined he is, that his father still said he may need a fall back career. Which is very logical but if you think back to what he has accomplished its like saying to Michael Jordan... "Hey Mike, study english so you can be a teacher just incase Basketball doesn't work..." or to Tiger Woods, or to Hockey God Wayne Gretzky... no one was being an asshole and claiming teaching is bad or that it was ridiculous to have something to fall back on its just funny in comparison. Stop trying to read more into something just to start drama.
The joke is that people who take English degrees are usually encouraged to pick something else as a fallback. In Spielberg's case, he chose English itself as the fallback.
Thanks to my dad and grandparents I saw countless movies at a very young age, I never really put much thought into them, but as I grew older I could tell I cared more about them than most others. As I grew older I gained an interest in film criticism, not so I could know what to watch, but just to hear other people share my passion. As a teenager, I started writing my own short screenplays and stories as a hobby. [CONT]
I had the same feeling when I showed my "movie" to my classmates and teacher at school like 4 years ago
I just want to make films for the rest of my life without having to worry about money :\
***** how is going out for you? :)
Still worrying about money :P
***** I wanted to make movies since I was 6. Went to film school/studied all types of cinema for decades. Thought that my passion would pay off in itself, but there's something filmmakers/teachers don't tell you: The only way to become a director is to direct a movie. The only thing you need to make a movie is the money to make a movie. Had I known that, I would have never approached film from the bottom of the film industry.
Cineman Steve I just kinda figured it out. I started learning everything about film and one day I just figured, the only real way (at least for me) is to get some cash and make films that's it.
***** Never go to film school. Its like majoring in art, your just limiting your creativity to a specific manner which is taught in a school and nobody wants to watch movies that are similar to each other. Heck Quentin Tarantino dropped out of high school and is a great movie director.
great speech very moving!
I'm a 13 year old kid from Phoenix and he can't be more right
so you're 18-ish now?
Thats very true about what you want to be or do doesn't always shout. I just realized one day how obsessed and in love I'd become with movies. Can't imagine doing anything else...
This guy! Man can he make movies! I remember the first time i saw raiders, it was pure coinsidence! The movie had just started like 3 minutes earlier i zapped to that chanel. And wow was i blown away! What an experience! Out of nowhere. (Yeah back then there were no mobiles, no flat screens, and the internet barely existed on a few computers as big as a house or so ;)
It just catapulted me into another world! Unexplainable! :D
What i wanted to say: Teachers may be the most underpaid heroes (2.00) yes, but not in the world. Only to some countries. Where i live a teacher earns pretty darn well!
Anyways, it made me laugh but it isn't meant as disrespect! I still am a huge fan!
A truly inspirational speech!!
So this is why j.j did super 8 with Spielberg
I hope I can work with him one day, or at least even meet him! He is my inspiration!
He's truly in love with the microphone isn't he. ;)
Fan of Pewdiepie, eh? Brofist!
This is unbelievable. Thanks for posting
So very true about Teacher's underpaid Hero
tearing up... he loves his craft.
I want to be a film maker
Dreams don't always scream in your face, most often the wisper in your ear.
HOW CAN ANYONE REMEMBER THE THINGS HAPPENED AT THE AGE OF 5 OR 6 YEARS?
+Tanveer Sayyad I ask myself the same question...
I remember stuff from that age
BUT AFTER A 50 YEARS ?
yeah, why not?
I can Remember when i was 2 or 3 years old.
He is one of our best Directors of all time and he s visions in film industry are timeless
creative works...
