Quotes

...American invasion, the second invasion of France, this time not to liberate but to occupy," Spielberg told me when I interviewed him most recently. "That was the party line on it, and I was caught up in the middle. The blockbuster began in America, so no matter who the writer and director and producers are, of those films, even if it's an Italian director, and a French writer and a British producer, if it makes a lot of money, almost too much money, it will accused of being an 'American' blockbuster. The world is shrinking. The internet has shrunk it to half its original size. We are closer neighbors in cyberspace than we ever have been in our collective history."
