Steven Spielberg

But after Stargate, I felt that nothing would ever be the same.

But I'm watching the movie completely in a state of, you know...

intoxication because Stanley intoxicated me where perhaps I was getting a contact high with all the smoke in the room.

But I was completely intoxicated by what I experienced.

And it wasn't a film.

It was an experience.

It was the most experiential thing I had ever seen since I was a little kid and got scared to death by The Greatest Show on Earth.

And then later by Bambi and then again by Snow White in Reissues.

Yeah.

Also, you have to remember how big the screen was.

The screen was so big.

During Stargate, I just have to say that a person in the theater, several people in the theater, got up and started walking into the screen.

And that was, by the way, you can probably look it up in the LA Times.

It was reported that people were walking into the screen.

In those days, at least in that theater, the screens were like louvers.

They were vertical strips.

of reflective material.

And a couple of the people in the film during Stargate were reported to have walked actually into the screen and disappeared backstage.

No, because everybody I saw the movie with that day were all probably...

under 35 years old.
