I don’t really care about celebrities except for very specific ones but I will certainly come back for those. You are a great interviewer who asks intelligent and thought-provoking questions. Bravo.
as someone who went to high school with rachel zegler, let me tell you she was always going to be famous, and we all knew it. She always took it seriously, from beauty and the beast her freshman year to now. she always had the vibe and the drive and the passion not to mention the talent to really just go places, and here she is.
You met Spielberg and perfectly articulated what I’d always dreamed of saying (and would screw up) if I ever got the chance. His films made me fall in love with cinema and made me dream of being an artist. Bravo, man. Much respect.
my first time watching this guy. he is genuinely one of the best interviewers i've ever seen. too often we see people asking irrelevant questions or letting their own ego get in the way of what really matters-what the interviewees think. this guy prepared questions that were genuine, meaningful, and superbly natural. I hope you become a famous interviewer!
He’s respectful, almost too much sometimes lol but it’s out of respect so.. He doesn’t interrupt guests and normally asks relevant food questions. He also seems like a humble guy who doesn’t joke around a lot which is s good thing cause that could get out of hand like some interviews. Basically Jake is a cool cat for sure
7:11 Little does Ariana know that many young children who will see this film will want to grow up to dance like the beautiful woman in the yellow dress
Great interview with Spielberg. I loved the Film.Spielberg bought so much emotion it's Powerful . So many scenes had me saying Omg thats an amazing shot. The dance sequences are amazingly edited. Where they don't hold up to the original is the Choreography. Jerome Robbins was just so much better. My Opinion of course .
Michael Faist was right about "Gee Officer Krupke." If I had to boil it down, it's about growing up male, confused in a world that doesn't know what to do with you. That and having a laugh over snowing the neighborhood beat cop.
It's the Karma that goes with being Tony. Richard Beymer was left out of a lot of stuff when they made the original. In fact Natalie Wood tried to get him fired because she wanted other actors to play his role. Tony gets no respect and in the end . . .
Very simpática actress.on some way alike Ali mc graw .they should make a remake of get away aa well.the trailer of west sude story most likely like they movie.excellent and Many Oscars
@@joewhitehead3 that's honestly REALLY a shame! Ansel is AMAZINGLY talented in general and in my opinion, is PHENOMENAL as Tony in this BRILLIANT new 2021 Steven Spielberg Movie Version, as well!! Plus, what a SHAME that this is happening to him! NOTHING has been proven and it's looking MORE and more like the allegations are proving false and these young Women tried to ruin him, his reputation and Career, for attention, some of his Fame and his Money; not to mention, being spurned because he broke it off with some of them, or he didn't roll over, (so to speak) and give them what they wanted from him! Remember, THEY stalked and pursued HIM FIRST, NOT the other way around!!
So he didnt want Jaws or ET .or any of his previous movies subtitled in the language of the country they were released in out of respect for English speakers? Lol..nahhhh of course not.
New West Side Story: 1. Good idea to have Rita Marino inserted into the Steven Spielberg script of *West Side Story* 2. Best Actress role for Oscar nomination for Spielberg's version will be Maria (Rachel Zegler) and then Anita (Ariana DeBose) for supporting Oscar nomination. I think Rachel Zegler's acting for Maria, was better than Natalie Wood in Robert's Wise production. 3. Second choice for best supporting actress: Rita Marino. (yes again) 4. I did not like any of the character actors choice for either the Jets or Sharks in this Spielberg version. There was no a manly handsome guy in either gang. 5. I did not like the first act of the Spielberg version as much as the Robert Wise/Jerome Robbin's version, however the second act of Spielberg's version made up for the 1st act's shortcomings. Spielberg's first act of his movie was too dark. 6. My choice for which movie was better would be the flawless *1st* West Side Story. Robert Wise/Jerome Robbin's version was the better direction in the 1st Movie version of the play. However the second act of Spielberg's version made tears come from my eyes, but don't tell anybody as I don't want my manhood questioned. 7. In the first movie the Jet gang gave respect for the little girl playing on the ground and walked around her play area. In the Spielberg version the Jets ripped up the little girls artwork on the ground. I could not get behind the Jets after that. 8. The dance scenes in both versions were equally good, however the Robert Wise/Jerome Robbin's version had all better camera composition on all frames. The colorful lighting on the Robert Wise/Jerome Robbin’s movie made a lot of scenes magical. 9. Spielberg claimed he did not want to copy the first, Robert Wise version, however he did in the opening. In the first, Wise version, we have an aerial shot flying over Manhattan, in Spielberg's version we have an aerial shot flying over the demolished section of the gang area with same Robert Wise sounding intro music. 10. Spielberg's version of West Side Story will be nominated for *Best Picture* Oscar this year. However, from the *WOKE* Hollywood, they might choose another low budget foreign movie with another language made movie like *Parasite* with no whites in it, that nobody saw, but won for diversity's sake. Parasite movie (looked like a college student made film) winning Best Picture over *1917* a real professional movie. And like Spielberg's movie, *Saving Private Ryan* that did not win Best Picture, which it should have, got beat by that that terrible love story *Shakespeare in Love* again, that nobody saw. 11. Why couldn't Spielberg worry about that most all the actors should be Puerto Rican have to be Puerto Rican? That could be looked as racist decision on WOKE Spielberg. High class acting is art, that a great actor could pull it off being a Puerto Rican even if he is not in real life a Puerto Rican. Yes, we hated all the 1940 movies where they always picked a white actor to play an Asian, that obviously did not look even near an Asian. The great Spielberg would deny another race to play any role unless they are the same race of the character portrayed? This is a slam in the face of all actors. Example, he could have used actors from any South American country or other country as long as they really looked and acted Puerto Rican. Come on man! Let all actors try out from any race as long as they really look and act the part. 13. What was that freak dark character tranny character that used to be a tom boy girl in the Robert Wise movie? We could see in the Robert Wise movie that this was a tom boy girl that we liked. However, in this movie, we don't know who this scary creature from hell was in Spielberg's version. Spielberg was again trying to be WOKE by picking a real tranny freak character from this year’s 2021 to make the LGBTQ people today happy. That demonic freak character was a bust. 14. There will be other Oscar nominations beside best picture for this one.
I find it so disappointing and offensive that the part was not played by a true Puerto Rican and the accent so way off.sounds more like a Indian hindi accent than Spanish accent.
@@JesusSavesSinners more authentic would of been using the correct Spanish accent not a Indian hindi accent.all the directors should be fired for being so nieve for not recognizing a true Puerto Rican accent
I totally agree with you! I was there at that open call in PR and still feel bitter about this and worse now that she’s Snow White! If anything they should have given this to PR soprano Natalia Santaliz!
Spielberg is ONE of the greatest directors, not the greatest of all time. Maybe, you do not watch classic cinema. If not, you need to start. You can't rule out all of the great directors of the past. Maybe, you should say the greatest living director.
@@JakesTakesTV Okay. I can accept that. :) Love his movies. I can't think of a director today who is better. I couldn't pick one director, though. I can't forget all those who came before him. Good interview.
@@antiqueroadtrip312 You are certainly entitled to your opinion as much as the next person, but Spielberg’s incredible body of work in both it’s breadth of genre and subject matter as well as its enduring legacy, popularity and quality not to mention his stamp on any and all film makers who have followed him more than qualify him being described as the greatest of all time… being pedantic about someone’s statement of their own opinion simply makes you…well… just pedantic…🤷♂️
@@BuzzLightyear9999 Hey, I gave they guy a like. He has how many followers? I don't think my disagreeing with his comment will keep him up at night. I was probably too defensive about directors in the past. Hate to see them forgotten. I can see that now. I like discussion, especially in regards to film. You could make your statement about Howard Hawks, fyi. My favorite director is Billy Wilder. I agree with you. I think Spielberg is one of the greatest directors of this generation. There is no greatest director, in my opinion. Only greats. Not sure if you read my second comment. There are probably no Scorsese fans on this post, or you might hear from them. Thanks for the response. I like film, and I don't mind the disagreement or that you take issue with my comment or that you had to call me pedantic. Just hate to see film directors who laid a lot of groundwork forgotten. Peace and happy holidays to you unless you have more to say about film and/or directors.
Thank you for watching my interviews! If you liked them, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE! I’m posting new celebrity interviews every week!
Great question for Spielberg. That was a nice moment!
I don’t really care about celebrities except for very specific ones but I will certainly come back for those. You are a great interviewer who asks intelligent and thought-provoking questions. Bravo.

Best Actress Oscar nomination is almost assured now. A win is looking more and more likely.
She was amazing in this movie. Spielberg has a good eye for actors.
She's now currently starring in the Number 1 movie in the World!! pretty crazy
The interviewer’s genuine respect and admiration when addressing Spielberg is so beautifully articulated.
Spielberg is a respectful & admirable man
You met Spielberg and perfectly articulated what I’d always dreamed of saying (and would screw up) if I ever got the chance. His films made me fall in love with cinema and made me dream of being an artist. Bravo, man. Much respect.
i remember binging rachel’s youtube videos in 2018 and now she’s doing interviews for her blockbuster movie

Finally we're getting some mike faist content, I feel like he never leaves his cave
Best interviewer of WSS cast. I wish it could’ve been longer.
I'm just so glad to see Mike on the big screen
Can't wait to watch his Riff
This is literally the best interviewer ever.
Jake if you are reading this, you are awesome, you are unique.

Congrats, Jake!! You got to interview the GOAT!
Spielberg is one of the GOAT. It's so great you could interview him Jake :)
The hes gonna make another movie about sharks joke should have landed better I would have fucking DIED
Excellent interviews! I love Steven's warm-hearted, self-effacing nature, giving credit where credit is due.
You can feel the positive energy in this group. You can tell they've had a great time doing this project. Jake@ is popular with the ladies.
Jake is really shooting his shot with Zegler by splitting the thumbnail with her and Steven. He never gives new people co-billing with a legend.
Maybe he was secretly sore that he only got one question for Spielberg...
Jake, you are such a great interviewer!
Great interview with Spielberg. I loved the Film.Spielberg bought so much emotion it's Powerful . So many scenes had me saying Omg thats an amazing shot.

Steven Spielberg is a god. he's a legend and will never be surpassed. can't wait for West Side Story! 👏
Calm down he is only a human. There is only one God.
@@davidmckesey7119 I said a god. with little g. nvm.
RACHEL ZEGLER IS A GODDESS 😩❤️
It's Spielberg, so I can watch this film with confidence.
I can totally see Rachel playing Snow White
Your interviews are the best
Mike Faist 😍😍😍😍
Great stuff Jake!
Energetic interviews..love it♥️
RACHEL ZEGLER AND ARIANA DEBOSE OWN ME BRO
Spielberg is like your kind wise college professor.
Michael Faist was right about "Gee Officer Krupke." If I had to boil it down, it's about growing up male, confused in a world that doesn't know what to do with you. That and having a laugh over snowing the neighborhood beat cop.
Are they keeping Ansel away from all the promotional interviews? Lol
I hope so
It's the Karma that goes with being Tony. Richard Beymer was left out of a lot of stuff when they made the original. In fact Natalie Wood tried to get him fired because she wanted other actors to play his role. Tony gets no respect and in the end . . .
@@JohnHoulgate or maybe its because hes got sexual assault allegations
@@colonyofrats4193 this is the first I've heard of it.
Oh well, West Side Story is about youth being wasted on the young.
Mike Faist mm can't wait seeing him on the big screen
how could they only let Jake ask Spielberg one question? It makes me mad they let other poorer interviewers ask more questions
MIKE FAIST
Yes!!! 🥰✨
Very simpática actress.on some way alike Ali mc graw .they should make a remake of get away aa well.the trailer of west sude story most likely like they movie.excellent and Many Oscars

Oh my gosh!!! 😱
where’s ansel ?
He’s not well-liked these days
@@joewhitehead3 that's honestly REALLY a shame!

Plus, what a SHAME that this is happening to him!
NOTHING has been proven and it's looking MORE and more like the allegations are proving false and these young Women tried to ruin him, his reputation and Career, for attention, some of his Fame and his Money; not to mention, being spurned because he broke it off with some of them, or he didn't roll over, (so to speak) and give them what they wanted from him!

@@janebarry-fraundorf4623 exactly. He's so talented and very committed and he was making this series in Japan I guess . Mike Faist is incredible too 😍
@@pilartrujillo3790yep, TOTALLY agreed and correct on BOTH counts!!
The movie is bombed , take it easy .
