His work is curiously unaffecting in its heavyhandedness
Schindlers List excepted of course, he makes films with all the rush and hot air as if producing cars or bottles of milk. Milking audience s since the FIFTIES, he infantilised cinema with Jaws. Thankfully, 4 years later, a worthy tale of the unknown , Ridley Scott's Alien, came along. I can't for a second imagine Speilberg being capable of making a film of Robert Zemeckis's Forrest Gump's lightness of touch in being truly affecting.
