Thinking back on READY PLAYER ONE: I don't think Spielberg gets enough credit for making sad films that most people interpret as happy, and complex films that are immediately dismissed as simple or confused.

I wonder if Spielberg is secretly a depressed, angry person. It would explain a lot of the tonal strangeness of his films, as well as the way he's managed to be hugely successful despite NOT giving people what they tend to actually want out of blockbusters.

I would like to watch READY PLAYER ONE again after screening either AI or TINTIN.

It's unprecedented for a filmmaker to have a hit as big as READY PLAYER ONE 43 years after their first big hit -- and to have been one of the top directors in every decade of their adult lives. Not even Hitchcock managed to do that.

In conclusion: READY PLAYER ONE is a mess, but it is a fascinating and complex one, and I suspect a lot of the people trashing it for being one particular thing will stumble on it again years from now and realize how much they overlooked. It's happened many times with Spielberg.

I think it’s: “Mr. Halliday, you’re not an avatar, are you?” “No.” “Then what are you?” *meaningful look* “Thanks for playing my game, Wade.”
