Ready Player One (2018) got brushed off as reference overload, but Spielberg keeps it moving and makes the spectacle land. The OASIS sequences, the pacing, and that sense of play carry it more than people admit.

Ready Player One (2018) rules. Like the book, it isn’t chasing some grand thesis; it’s a love letter to pop culture and the joy of immersion. People knock it for being what it openly is, instead of just letting the spectacle do its thing.

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) has one of the most haunting endings in sci-fi. People debate the tone because Kubrick developed it and Spielberg finished it, but that blend is what makes the film hit so strangely deep.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) is the kind of film no studio would greenlight today. Built on mystery and wonder rather than spectacle, it unfolds slowly and patiently, and somehow Spielberg made it timeless.

obviously much flashier examples, but this is the real Spielberg juice. little nothing moments that could have easily been standard coverage and cutting, but he instead just effortlessly does it in one and keeps things moving so you don’t even notice

To celebrate the end of 2018, Nintendo created an animation that played in Shibuya Crossing. In it, Mario picks up a coin and transforms into presumably a Shiba Inu, making him Dog Mario. This makes sense, as 2018 was the Year of the Dog

The Adventures of Tintin (2011) still plays like a filmmaker having fun with pure adventure. Spielberg treats momentum, geography, and character like toys, not spectacle. It feels alive and confident, ending on the sense that its story has only just begun.

Greatness is not exclusive or elusive, but the discipline and dedication to achieve it is. "It takes more than skills to be great. I am not the most skilled, but the thing that makes me a step further than people is the obsession and discipline I have for the game."
