It's a brilliantly directed one. Steven Spielberg's skill at blocking and stages scenes is second to none. Today we'll take a look at some of the ways Spielberg implements blocking and staging using the same method that director Steven Soderbergh uses to analyze films: making the movie black and white, and taking away all of its score and dialogue... allowing us to focus only on the film's visual storytelling.

Anytime some snobbish critic of Spielberg starts up, I'm just going to roll out this video!

I was aware of the Soderbergh cut, but had not seen a review that explained so much about the greatness it helps highlight. Thank you!

Welcome! And I know, I’d known about it for awhile, too, and just couldn’t believe it’d basically never been covered. On YT anyway. Insane.

As always... the more I hear, the more I learn. Great work and a unique approach - a jewel amidst thieves...
