Spielberg's WW2 Trilogy Review
from The Jacked Up Review Show Podcast · host JackedUpReviewShow
My guests and I dive straight into a summary of Steven Spielberg's WW2 themed trilogy: EMPIRE OF THE SUN, SCHINDLER'S LIST & SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. *Did Saving Pvt. Ryan make schoolteachers be awesome again? *Did Spielberg and his film crew see 1985's COME AND SEE prior to making any of these three films? *Does Schindler's List mirror both 12 Years a Slave and Deer Hunter in terms of how realistically bleak it is that you don't need to see it ever again? *Why is Schindler's List considered Oscar bait when Spielberg did it to raise awareness of the Jewish suffering? *What are some of the funniest spoofs of the last 2 films in pop culture? *Why are so many audiences ignorant about the whole "preserving the bloodline" being a real thing? *How are the war crimes, faith and cowardly soldiers depicted? *Should all War films have similar research and prep like this? *Are War movies unfortunately going back to the "Black and White" way of showcasing the different sides? *And what other films show a realistic take on the Japanese side's invasion during WW2? GUESTS: Chris Page, Ken Bates, Daniel Ryan, Jon Mark, Dave & Liam (Watch It If You Can), Elliot Serrano, Oreo Brewer, Mike Ensing & Levi Dylan Burzlaff-Luett (The Tremors Saga) CLIPS: Steven Spielberg- WFAA ABC 1998 interview, Saving Private Ryan, Robot Chicken: Schindler's Pissed skit, Steven Spielberg: Biography Channel Special, NBC & ABC uncut telecast of the last two films respectively.
