Change the speed to 1.5 to "Scorsesefy" the video.

Didnt expect The Fabelmans to be that accurate

He has the capability to make the audience see visuals just by speaking. So no wonder how he does the magic when he is filming with all equipment.

I worked on "Indiana Jones 4" and watched Steven work up close. He is a movie genius. Truly amazing....

0:00-12:30 Best part.

Steven Spielberg's still my favourite director. Because everything he does comes from the right place.

It's not even a matter of liking or disliking Stephen Spielberg, he is THE director. The dictionary has a picture of his face next to the definition of director.

Lamenting how young he used to be and this was 11 years ago. This story is very well presented in his new movie about his youth and involvement in movie making.

Typical Spielberg expanding a simple "I started making movies by filming my toy trains" with a build up story of betrayal, intrigue, destruction, obsession, enlightenment and fate. What a storyteller. He would make an awesome grandpa in his older age.

Speaks so clearly and understandably.

"When you have a dream it doesn't often come at you screaming in your face, "This is who you are, this is who you are meant to be for the rest of your life." Sometimes a dream almost whispers, the hardest thing to listen to, your instincts, your human personal intuition, --- it always whispers, it never shouts. Every day of your lives you have to listen to what whispers in your ear and if you can listen to the whisper and it tickles your heart, and it is something you think you want to do for the rest of your life, then that is what you are going to do for the rest of your life, and then we will benefit from everything you do." - Steven Spielberg

I really want to live for like a week in an alternate universe where spielberg is my teacher.

It's great how he's able to discribe things. He's creating visions without any film equipment. ;)

That was a great personal story shared by a great man who listened to the whisper in his ear and developed his God-given talents.

My idol too. Great message from him to anyone who wants to be filmmaker.

"Listen to the whispers." Love it.

An absolute inspiration

he said making movies is something he couldn't live without. So i think that's the reason why he became a great director. i'm 17 and i'm really confused right now. I have no idea what i want to do, i just know what i don't want to do. i'm thinking about becoming a movie maker just simply because i love watching movies, and i think that if i become a part of a movie, that will be great. but people say i must have a strong passion and i don't think that something i can't live without. what the hell should i do?

Early in this clip he said he was a dreamer. Dreams cultivate imagination which is what he thrived on and led to his success in film production. You can tell his heart has been tickled many times by the warmth of his presentation. Thank-you Steven Spielberg!

He could have been a teacher! Gasp! Although we all would want Spielberg to be the man he is today over a teacher, he would be the nicest teacher ever.

What a great unprepared speech. I admire this man.

He is a really super decent kind man. Met him in Redlands Ca. He does not care for gold rings, watches, chains, diamonds, fine cars, clothing, and the best of the best. He dresses comfortably and acts naturally. Very intuitive and soft spoken. Very easy to get along with.

Steven Spielberg to Me is a Great Storyteller He's My Favorite Film Director and Idol!

And Steven shoot on film. He is a purist and love the magic of cinema! Spielberg and Leone are my best film directors!

A complete storyteller. Does not miss a detail. I was expecting film tips though 😢

My favorite director of all time, he basically helped make my childhood into a magical place. Hes right tho, the voice that is most right inside of you is a faint whisper and I wish I would've heard it more when I was younger.

Absolutely amazing ending. Lovely!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVEN

How could he remember something so vividly as a six year old? I don't even remember starting school or attending high school with such clarity and descriptive words.

What a marvelous, marvelous man.

my favorite director

Movies are life. Wanna learn how to make good movies? Learn what makes good life. A part from that, let go of your dreams. Dreams are what causes depressions and entitlement. You think starving Africans have depression and anxiety? No, because they don't have time to worry about how they're living out their dreams. They're worried about how they gonna keep living at all. Step 1. Decide what is you want to be good at Step 2. Let go of any preconceived notions of what success is. Step 3. Appreciate every day you are alive and well whilst simultaneously working towards being good at what you want to be good at Step 4. Take nothing for granted. The world owes you nothing. Thank everyone that puts up with you. Step 5. Recognize the beauty in everything. Once you see the beauty you can re-create it. That's cinema. Step 6. Life Step 7. Profit Step 9. Death. Non of what you did mattered. Every moment you spent in agony was a moment wasted. Now you can't get it back. Love every moment of your life and if you're not loving it, do something different.

Stevens Speilberg: My Idol and filming is life.

So true...I've been saying and working on this personally for years. The heart's desires/your inner voice doesn't scream...it's quiet and undemanding as compared to the head and all it's noisy programming and the gut which is your primal brain/instinct that can save your life with quick clear commands. The inner voice/heart is quiet and asks for space but won't demand it, thus we HAVE to listen to be true to ourselves and ultimately, happy. It can be very hard quieting other people's voices, society's constant yammer and life's pressure and thus our inner voices can get smothered. I know mine did until recently . So cool that this is his advice as I never saw this video before today. I think it's the best advice one will ever get=(listen/trust themselves). Wish I had had this advice in my 20's.

just his day to day talking is pure storytelling magic....

One Of The Best Movie Directors Ever I Love Steven Spielberg So Much I've Seen His Movies Including Jaws Indiana Jones E.T. Jurassic Park and Many Other Ones He's Produced In His Career!

I know someday,in God's time, he will be my First director on my first film........I can do it.thank you God.

what a wise man

''It all started by accident''...no Steven...it's not an accident, we can't escape our destiny. Even if it was an accident, millions of fans thank you for that accident.

WOW!!! BEAUTIFUL words and message!! You can feel the energy and all the emotions he had as a kid. Breath taking!! Bravo!!

I hope to one day be able to work for him as well as to be taught by him before he goes.

Good guy, speaks slowly and clearly.

Got listen to the whisper tattooed onto my arm a few months back, so glad I did!!

I've heard that whisper... I am in the travel industry and I've heard the whisper that needs to inspire people. Aspiring filmaker. gosh this is a tear-jerker

wow, that ending. So motivation and inspiring, Steven is defiantly a idol of mine. He put across a very amazing message. Incredible.

Summary: Spielberg's directing career started with filming his two toy trains crashing into each other. Later he made a short western to earn his Boy Scout photography badge. The audience response he received to his short western made him a director. "The hardest thing to listen to (your intuition) always whispers, never shouts."

Glad I got to see this.. Trying to listen to the whisper. Thank you Mr.Spielberg and thanks for posting

superb..just love it..want to hear you more Sir.

Possibly the greatest director of cinema's history

Spielberg is an amazing director. I hope to be a film director like him someday

Thanks a million for this upload

One of my favorite directors. A great insight to how he started and followed his passion. He is living 'his' dream.

This is simply great.

Now i am seeing the Fabelmans

Tarintino is one of the very greatest directors alive today, and one of the most innovative, especially in the area of camera work. Spielberg is, by most everyone's opinion in the business, the greatest overall director that has ever lived. He is a brilliant genius in all areas of directing and can provide us with movies in ways that no one else can.

i grew up in the south bronx and all my childhood i had this whisper but couldn't figure it out but now at the age of 38 i'm gonna give it a shot

How can anyone dislike this? This was awesome! ♥

I see the vídeo and when he listen the part when he said, he decisión comes from your head and not of your eyes, you are ready for realise your dream. Is amazing :D

such a great speech!

Man this video made me cry at the very end... Thank you Steven Spielberg for all you have done for kids like me. I may not have grown up with you’re movies coming out, but when I was introduced to them I fell in love and other than doll videos I’ve made short films and scripts and just have so much passion it’s hard to explain half the stuff in my head to friends who don’t share the same eye. I hope to meet him one day I might die right after but it will have been worth it lol... so from the bottom of my heart thank you Spielberg for adding more fuel to my psssion that had me confused until I watched this ❤️😭

Love his story of how filmmaking began for him!

What a great man, a genius. I would love to be like him someday!

I love Steven he has always been my inspiration. Thanks Steven for your words of wisdom and encourgment. I was a background actor in the movie 'The Terminal' with Tom Hanks. What an awesome experience.

A truly inspirational speech!!

This guy! Man can he make movies! I remember the first time i saw raiders, it was pure coinsidence! The movie had just started like 3 minutes earlier i zapped to that chanel. And wow was i blown away! What an experience! Out of nowhere. (Yeah back then there were no mobiles, no flat screens, and the internet barely existed on a few computers as big as a house or so ;) It just catapulted me into another world! Unexplainable! :D What i wanted to say: Teachers may be the most underpaid heroes (2.00) yes, but not in the world. Only to some countries. Where i live a teacher earns pretty darn well! Anyways, it made me laugh but it isn't meant as disrespect! I still am a huge fan!

I'm young, but I'm already writing my own scripts/screenplays. I'm hoping to become a writer and director for movies. It seems as though it is very hard to get into the movie business now, mostly I just need a lucky break and maybe my dream will come true... Or, in this case, on screen.

This speech made me take a decision 2yrs ago that has changed the direction of my life Look forward to see my film in 10yrs time

That ending made me want to hug that man! Such an inspiration!

So cool that Super 8 played an homage to the train wreck scene in The Greatest Show on Earth.

him ,george lucas, and quentin tarrantino are my favorite director, they are pretty much i wanna be a director!

I wish i could be a film director too!Such a nice job and Mr. Speilberg's speech was amazing!

This is unbelievable. Thanks for posting

Hey, if I become a screenwriter/director in the future, then I want to thank this speech and Steven himself

So this is why j.j did super 8 with Spielberg

11:20 -End! wow that really hit home for me. I Burst with tears and confirmation. Thanks You Spielberg

great speech very moving!

I had the same feeling when I showed my "movie" to my classmates and teacher at school like 4 years ago I just want to make films for the rest of my life without having to worry about money :\

Kind of weird they laugh when he says "study english as a fall back career", just because he made it big, doesn't mean it was a ridiculous idea to have something to fall back on...

This is the best video I have ever seen, and it's truly inspirational!

Wonderful speech from Steven! A real artist!

I'm a 13 year old kid from Phoenix and he can't be more right

So very true about Teacher's underpaid Hero

My favourite director of all times...What an inspirational man he is. Top of his class.

At such a young age, Spielberg watched a car get on the train tracks and ram itself into the train, causing all the cars to derail and pile up. A long, long time after, he produced a motion picture called 'Super 8', as some of you might remember it from very recently. In this film, there was a scene where a train was passing, when a truck got on the rails and rammed itself into it, derailing all the cars and having them pile up on top of each other. Fascinating.

He's truly in love with the microphone isn't he. ;)

HOW CAN ANYONE REMEMBER THE THINGS HAPPENED AT THE AGE OF 5 OR 6 YEARS?

thnx so much 4 puttin' this up.

dreams always come from behind you.. they sneak up on you. Sometimes a dream almost whispers.. tickled my heart

I want to be a film maker

Isn't that still small voice God talking to you? Yes, he whispers. Yes, he's hard to hear. Yes, that's the voice we should all listen to. Yes, he put the dreams in your heart and created you wonderfully, and designed you for an amazing purpose. And, yes, sometimes that still small voice sneaks up on you. All the best to anyone who reads this. I hope you all follow the dreams God has put inside you!

Yasss Stephen then was awesome! Thanks for the words of motivation

Great speech! Very inspiring

Why is he touching Mic again and again. Those mics wouldn't fall or Blast. Don't know what he is trying to do.

Steven Sneezeberg

Very inspiring! Thank you.

When scrolling through Facebook, just seeing Stephen Spielberg making a speech-even a brief one- is an automatic 'click' and I watch it. A charming, humorous and intelligent man who is great fun to listen to. I actually didn't see DeMille's The Greatest Show On Earth until I was an adult- but at age 6 my parents took me to The Cow Palace SF where I saw Ringling Brothers' Barnum and Bailey Circus. I am forever grateful to them. It gave me a touchstone to understanding Fellini's work, wheras in an interview I heard the Great Martin Scorsese say he just didn't 'get' circuses, even though he loves Fellini.

happened all by accident? more like divine providence!

This man is a great orator and a gentleman with great advice! Thanks Spielberg!

My idol! I love him!

Steven Spielberg's "I Had A Dream" speech!! Oh please please put out a video of your first boy scout movie! Even of your two trains colliding. I would just die to see them. I am blown away by everything. You didn't have that movie star parent, or the stage mom to push you along. You didn't even have anything to do!! All created out of nothing, or of the greatest thing = your G-d given brain. And you have miraculously kept the child in you going. That is evident especially in the joy of all you do. Steven I truly salute you, and am so grateful there is still someone like you among us.
