Spielberg “fixed” one scene that I always thought was wrong. When the police were waiting for the kids on bikes (at the end) they had guns! This made the police really awful. He digitally changed it to walkie talkies. He also added a scene in Close Encounters where as Dryfuss’s car travelled across the desert, the shadow of a flying saucer could be seen.
But, you, made a true artist is never satisfied with his work, he just has to end it at a certain point. Of course today there is a technology that previous generations did not have.
Tolkien first wrote the Hobbit, then the Lord of the Rings, which originally was just one book. He then went back and rewrote the Hobbit to match the Lord of the Rings. But he couldn’t fix everything. It actually took until computers were used for his son to go in and fix a few things. So it took 35 years.
Lucas was never that good of a director and could never write real dialogue and that is why the last three movies were not as good as the first. He had Lawrence Kasdan writing and two others directing. I think it is baloney why he said he stopped.
The saddest thing of all is that fewer and fewer people, especially people over 30, are going to the movies. True Grit didn’t cost a fortune and did very well. So they make a simple western, The Lone Ranger for $250 million. Why? To get those kids in.
But it’s not just movies. They only make network TV shows for that age bracket too.
