The fact of the matter is that to sum up an entire career, that covers FIVE decades, to just one style of film is ignorant and neglectful of Spielberg's contributions to the world of films. There are many others on that list, but that's just some of them. Let's just look at a few of the movies in Spielberg's filmography: Jaws, Close Encounters, ET (the film that I'm assuming inspired the tweet), 1941, the Indiana Jones franchise (all o them), The Color Purple, Jurassic Park (and its first sequel), Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Minority Report, Munich, Lincoln, Bridge of Spies and, of course, The BFG (the film that brings us together now). It's the type of ignorant statement that's the equivalent of saying that Scorsese has only made gangster movies. When you have a career as long and as prolific as Spielberg's you end up making every type of movie under the sun. To the point that I actually muted him on Twitter for a while. And this one, this one I really got a bit angered with. This was a month or so ago, so I'm paraphrasing, but that's the essence of his tweets.
One of his other controversial opinions was that he felt that Spielberg's film were sentimental tripe. He then said that he thought Christopher Nolan was a scrub, which I disagree with, but he's more than entitled to believe that. A person I follow on Twitter, whose handle shall remain nameless, once said that his controversial opinions only involve films. I hate to start out with this, but I almost feel like I have to.
