Alot of us are like this. I don't if you're a filmmaker, but it's hard not to be like that

@@Sgab1007 You don't have to be a "filmmaker" to give congrats to your inspirations and heroes.

@@Gadget-Walkmen umm ok I don’t think I said that?

@@Sgab1007I just wasn’t entirely sure what you meant.

@@Sgab1007hi

I absolutely agree and feel the same.

Denis isn't Spielbergs peer. He's more than 20 years younger and started just recently. I'd say his peers are PT Anderson, Tarantino, Chris Nolan....Spielberg is the previous generation....Spielberg, Scorsese, Scott

He started same year as Nolan

But I get what you mean. I personally think mr. Villeneuve is on mr. Spielberg's level.

@@rudolfreindeer1112 by peer I mean successful Hollywood director, I'm not talking about craft or success level

@@rudolfreindeer1112there’s no confirmation my guy. Anyone can be anyone’s peer

had the same thought

good luck on your journey, Sarah! keep going, maybe someday you will be the one giving a speech thanking Denis for this speech... who knows? :)

@@gabrielpaes9351 thank you so much! That's so sweet! Nicest comment I've ever received on KZfaq. Thanks for that! I would definitely thank Denis for his inspiration for sure! Here's hoping someday!

What do you mean you’ll reach the heights? Are you a director?

I add Sam Mendes and Matt reeves in there

The oldest generation (1950s to 60s) 1. Federico Fellini 2. Ingmar Bergman 3. Alfred Hitchcock

@@Hritik9000 Neither your or the original commenters list are accurate how can the "oldest generation" not come about until after cinema's already been around more than 5 decades? and his has all sorts of problems with guys who started before ones in the prior era's after them etc,

@@Mr.Goodkat I knew someone was gonna comment this thats why I wrote 50s to 60s

@@Hritik9000 It's precisely because you wrote 50's to 60's I commented that, had you not I would not have even said anything.

Who's the first? and who else might be second?

There’s no such thing as first or second or third; arts is not sports! You can say he is certainly one of the most influential and with the highest impact along side other equally impactful filmmakers like: Kubrick, Scorsese, Hitchcock, Bergman, Goddard, Kurosawa, Griffith, Lang, Ford, Welles, Tarkovsky, Fellini, Eisenstein, Truffaut, Chaplin , Ozu, Renoir etc.

No he is the best

The 1st is Scorsese. The 2nd is Spielberg

@@TjMulyadiIncorrect. The correct answer was Stanley Kubrick, but thanks for playing.

Duel 1971. I guess “The Truck” must’ve been the title in Canada where Denis grew up

The movie is DUEL (same title in both french and english) The TRUCK (and his shadow driver) is used as a symbol for BULLIES, that, for unknown reasons, continously harrasses us, even if we try to get rid of them. In that movie, the good guy wins.

Because it's a classic moment.

@@westernzoo3344 lol

He is himself, authentic, and i am proud of him

What. They're nothing alike

​@@jessica5497 In term of prestige and resume

No... tarantino never as refined, but I loved Kill Bill

Well clearly Villeneuve disagrees with you. And after watching WSS I will agree with him. Spielberg did a phenomenal job with the material.

@@gpapa31 so what ?for me Spielberg has lost his touch...

You clearly have not watched his new movies

@@simonnomis5302 And still no one could touch his touch
