Steven Spielberg says the success of low-budget films including ‘Obsession,’ which had a budget of under $1 million — shows cinema is thriving. "I'm so happy for them. I think it's so fantastic." Christopher Nolan added, "Ever since the 1950s... there's been this tendency to always proclaim the death of movies." Spielberg continued, "I think it's great that they had basically very little money, especially Obsession had under $1 million, and the other film (Backrooms) had maybe 10 or nine, and they're doing so well, and I just applaud them."

Steven Spielberg says the truth about ufos will “dislocate society” and cause humans to question their religions. “I believe my movie Disclosure Day is going to answer questions and it is going to cause a lot of people to ask a lot of questions.”

Munich has Spielberg's most identifiable filmmaking, as in it's a series of bravura camera and edit set ups - but it is not in my favorites of his. It is a masterwork film for sure in a catalog of absolute genius work, but the movie leaves me cold. The politics are unclear other than killing is bad - not that it needs to answer anything - but it is ultimately a very dispiriting movie. You can't put this direction ahead of Schindler's List on a technical level anyways. There's a lot more risky camera/actor bonding moments in that film that won't be seen simply because it's so fluid. That's the true mark of directorial genius - when your art is so infused into the experience it is hard to extract the formality of it. Just take the long shot of Nazis trying to kill a man where Spielberg runs background extras on the malfunctioning gun as a joke...in an Auschwitz film...about a Jew being seemingly executed. I don't think there's any filmmaker in the world who could pull that off. Like how do you even fucking come up with that, and then think you can skillfully find the tone to make that scene work and not blow the film up but also question the nature of God or luck. That's not just genius, that's insanity. I love Spielberg. He will always be the greatest of all time. Munich is great, but it's not the Greatest. The moral murkiness of Munich is the greatest for adulting people in the middle of their existential crisis, who need answers to be nihilistic. But give it a couple years, have a couple children, love your family, and life becomes meaningful again. What makes something Great reminds us what makes us Great. As skillful as Munich is, the meaning is as important as the movement.

WATCH: PMO Spokesman Doron Spielman speaks with @NEWSMAX about violence in Judea and Samaria. The media fixates on a handful of teenage lawbreakers while whitewashing systematic Palestinian terror attacks—one every two hours on average—which have murdered 25 Israelis and seriously wounded 174 more. This selective coverage manipulates the public and hides the truth: the PA promotes a culture that glorifies those who murder Israelis and financially rewards terrorists and their families. That isn’t journalism. It is propaganda.
