  • Spielberg's latest project, "The Fabelmans", is semi-autobiographical - focused on his childhood and teen years and his parents' divorce. He jokingly refers to the film as "$40 million of therapy." He speaks with Terry Gross about the first movie he saw in theaters, filming the iconic D-Day sequence in "Saving Private Ryan", and growing up around Holocaust survivors.
    “FRESH AIR” from WHYY, the Peabody Award-winning weekday magazine of contemporary arts and issues, is one of public radio's most popular programs. Hosted by Terry Gross, the show features intimate conversations with today's biggest luminaries.

    wondering if 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was rereleased - the Kirk Douglas version originally came out in 1954.

      It was, several times throughout the 60s and even the 70s.
      That was only way we rewatched movies, because there was *no* home video until the 80s.

      *Hold on! … there was “Network Broadcast” (ABC/CBS/NBC first, then later (as licence fees dropped over time … syndicated and local stations) … What you’d get was pan’and’scanned (to get rid of the widescreen) cropped to fit a 1.33:1 TV screen. (TVs were small, so if letterboxing was even tried (it wasn’t) viewers would have likely revolted….)

    The opening Normandy beach landing in Private Ryan is so brilliant because the camera IS largely the point of view of the soldiers. This projects a subjective reality into us the audience. We are there.

    this is absolutely amazing, Steven Spielberg is an absolute visionary, one of the greatest of all time that totally use the form and craft a film to its fullest extent, they should have 1 million views but still amazing
