    Arthur Chu Retweeted Noah Berlatsky

    The correct comparison here is to Norman Rockwell in the world of painting (Spielberg considers Rockwell one of his greatest artistic inspirations and helped finance an exhibition of his work at the Smithsonian)https://twitter.com/nberlat/status/1254053264292810755 …

    film twitter is really defensive about Stephen Spielberg. It's kind of bizarre. It's like if music twitter went to the mat for Billy Joel, or book twitter got mad if you said Tom Clancy was kind of crap.

        Rockwell, like Spielberg, is "critic-proof" Like he's undeniably incredibly skilled at what he does and the corny earnestness of it all that pisses off the critics is exactly why he made so much money and became indisplaceable from the public eye Which just makes them madder

        His harshest critics called him "merely an illustrator", which is one of those things that sounds like it has an objective meaning but doesn't really that people say when they've just decided they don't respect you "He doesn't make films he makes movies" etc

        I mean yeah he was an illustrator, he did tons of art for magazine covers and advertisements and whatnot, but at the same time as he was doing his thing Andy Warhol was creating the Pop Art movement and convincing all the fancy pants critics there was no distinction

        Yeah, I honestly feel like the Tom Clancy comparison is really unfair (but that's probably in no small part due to the awful politics in his works).

        And both are a lot more subversive than people give them credit for.

        Although Rockwell never took as many chances, got as weird, or had the breadth that Spielberg has. (See: A.I. vs. Lincoln vs. Minority Report vs. Pvt. Ryan, etc.)

        Rockwell also care deeply about people, even though it took him years to show it explicitly because the Saturday Evening Post would't let him. Spielberg also cares deeply and it wasn't until Schindler's List came his way he could show it.

        Here's Rockwell's The Problem We All Live With, which is subject matter he'd wanted to do for ages, but the Saturday Evening Post would have none of it. Also note the title he gave it. A white man in the 60s saying racism was something everyone deals with.pic.twitter.com/9bPhQZKBwi
