Didn't read the book, this is now one of my Favirote movies.

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2018)

I didn't read the book and I don't think it's fair to compare this film to it. I think Spielberg was trying to achieve something even more special than that. And he does- this is a masterpiece that needs to be watched by everyone! I don't write reviews on IMDb but I just had to after seeing this film last night.
You see movies are more than art- they are a vehicle to tell morals and change the way you see the world- this film has changed my life now. It is a giant metaphor on how corporations, capitalism, the banking system, and society has us in a losing rat race. And it does it so powerfully that me and my friend walked out shook- we literally wanted to destroy the establishment after seeing this.
But here's the genius about the film- it's also a great, heart warming, exciting, suspenseful, emotional, and visual enthralling peice of Art! That is accessible to everyone!
I could write a novel as to amazing this movie was- literally. I mean it has all your childhood heroes in it also!!!
Spielberg has sent our society a message with this movie- and I sure as hell believe it can spark in our children a drive to better our world and be original and not give ourselves up blindly to the system- it has done so for me!
15/10 - seriously, if you're a filmmaker that wants to study how to make films that tell morals and can change the world- analyze and disect this movie, I know I will.
