“[Steven Spielberg's films] are comforting, they always give you answers and I don't think they're very clever answers. The success of most Hollywood films these days is down to fact that they're comforting. They tie things up in nice little bows and give you answers, even if the answers are stupid, you go home and you don't have to think about it. The great filmmakers make you go home and think about it.” IfsThinkingGivingLittlesFactsHomeFilmAnswersNiceStupidHollywoodCleverThese DaysTiesFilmmakerBowsComfortingGreat FilmVery CleverHollywood Films Author:Terry Gilliam
