国师把小皇帝做哭

Challenge of the day: name a more memorable, instantly recognizable movie. I’d stake my bets with this. Though Steven Spielberg’s idea of cinema may not fulfill those who have tasted something more subtle & delicate, I still believe it deserves our attention and praise. Sure enough, he pours out the money and goes for the spectacular, thus making the experience of the thriller a simpler, more accessible affair to be shared by the many - if not too gratifying at times given the stakes. But is it at the cost of the story, dialogue, characters, or cinematography? Certainly not in Jaws. The trick is to build in different pieces & layers of meaning, each viewer pulling in his own haul of fish.
