In the real world, evil must be met with appropriate force. Not every “right” action is covered in flowers and rainbows, sometimes you have to do hard, unlikeable things because otherwise people trying to change the world for the worse will succeed. You can’t give fascists a slap on the wrist.
They did! Spielberg is so committed to his craft that he went to Tom Hanks hometown and asked all the locals if they’d like a chance at being as famous as Tom. So many signed up without reading their contract, which stated that there was live ammunition being used on set. Vin Diesel was actually supposed to die, but a machine gun jammed and the ensuing awkward conversation with the director led to Vin getting a feature role in exchange for his silence about Spielberg’s method directing. He parlayed that little incident into a ten film series about cars or some dumb shit.
To think that if Steven Spielberg had done his goddam job we could’ve all been saved from watching the Chronicles of Riddick! Crazy times.
