as someone who went to high school with rachel zegler, let me tell you she was always going to be famous, and we all knew it. She always took it seriously, from beauty and the beast her freshman year to now. she always had the vibe and the drive and the passion not to mention the talent to really just go places, and here she is.

my first time watching this guy. he is genuinely one of the best interviewers i've ever seen. too often we see people asking irrelevant questions or letting their own ego get in the way of what really matters-what the interviewees think. this guy prepared questions that were genuine, meaningful, and superbly natural. I hope you become a famous interviewer!

He also seems like a humble guy who doesn’t joke around a lot which is s good thing cause that could get out of hand like some interviews. Basically Jake is a cool cat for sure

NOTHING has been proven and it's looking MORE and more like the allegations are proving false and these young Women tried to ruin him, his reputation and Career, for attention, some of his Fame and his Money; not to mention, being spurned because he broke it off with some of them, or he didn't roll over, (so to speak) and give them what they wanted from him!

New West Side Story: 1. Good idea to have Rita Marino inserted into the Steven Spielberg script of *West Side Story* 2. Best Actress role for Oscar nomination for Spielberg's version will be Maria (Rachel Zegler) and then Anita (Ariana DeBose) for supporting Oscar nomination. I think Rachel Zegler's acting for Maria, was better than Natalie Wood in Robert's Wise production. 3. Second choice for best supporting actress: Rita Marino. (yes again) 4. I did not like any of the character actors choice for either the Jets or Sharks in this Spielberg version. There was no a manly handsome guy in either gang. 5. I did not like the first act of the Spielberg version as much as the Robert Wise/Jerome Robbin's version, however the second act of Spielberg's version made up for the 1st act's shortcomings. Spielberg's first act of his movie was too dark. 6. My choice for which movie was better would be the flawless *1st* West Side Story. Robert Wise/Jerome Robbin's version was the better direction in the 1st Movie version of the play. However the second act of Spielberg's version made tears come from my eyes, but don't tell anybody as I don't want my manhood questioned. 7. In the first movie the Jet gang gave respect for the little girl playing on the ground and walked around her play area. In the Spielberg version the Jets ripped up the little girls artwork on the ground. I could not get behind the Jets after that. 8. The dance scenes in both versions were equally good, however the Robert Wise/Jerome Robbin's version had all better camera composition on all frames. The colorful lighting on the Robert Wise/Jerome Robbin’s movie made a lot of scenes magical. 9. Spielberg claimed he did not want to copy the first, Robert Wise version, however he did in the opening. In the first, Wise version, we have an aerial shot flying over Manhattan, in Spielberg's version we have an aerial shot flying over the demolished section of the gang area with same Robert Wise sounding intro music. 10. Spielberg's version of West Side Story will be nominated for *Best Picture* Oscar this year. However, from the *WOKE* Hollywood, they might choose another low budget foreign movie with another language made movie like *Parasite* with no whites in it, that nobody saw, but won for diversity's sake. Parasite movie (looked like a college student made film) winning Best Picture over *1917* a real professional movie. And like Spielberg's movie, *Saving Private Ryan* that did not win Best Picture, which it should have, got beat by that that terrible love story *Shakespeare in Love* again, that nobody saw. 11. Why couldn't Spielberg worry about that most all the actors should be Puerto Rican have to be Puerto Rican? That could be looked as racist decision on WOKE Spielberg. High class acting is art, that a great actor could pull it off being a Puerto Rican even if he is not in real life a Puerto Rican. Yes, we hated all the 1940 movies where they always picked a white actor to play an Asian, that obviously did not look even near an Asian. The great Spielberg would deny another race to play any role unless they are the same race of the character portrayed? This is a slam in the face of all actors. Example, he could have used actors from any South American country or other country as long as they really looked and acted Puerto Rican. Come on man! Let all actors try out from any race as long as they really look and act the part. 13. What was that freak dark character tranny character that used to be a tom boy girl in the Robert Wise movie? We could see in the Robert Wise movie that this was a tom boy girl that we liked. However, in this movie, we don't know who this scary creature from hell was in Spielberg's version. Spielberg was again trying to be WOKE by picking a real tranny freak character from this year’s 2021 to make the LGBTQ people today happy. That demonic freak character was a bust. 14. There will be other Oscar nominations beside best picture for this one.

@@BuzzLightyear9999 Hey, I gave they guy a like. He has how many followers? I don't think my disagreeing with his comment will keep him up at night. I was probably too defensive about directors in the past. Hate to see them forgotten. I can see that now. I like discussion, especially in regards to film. You could make your statement about Howard Hawks, fyi. My favorite director is Billy Wilder. I agree with you. I think Spielberg is one of the greatest directors of this generation. There is no greatest director, in my opinion. Only greats. Not sure if you read my second comment. There are probably no Scorsese fans on this post, or you might hear from them. Thanks for the response. I like film, and I don't mind the disagreement or that you take issue with my comment or that you had to call me pedantic. Just hate to see film directors who laid a lot of groundwork forgotten. Peace and happy holidays to you unless you have more to say about film and/or directors.
