Disclosure Day - Potentially the last collab of Spielberg, John Williams, and David Koepp

[Tasty Tatty]

I can see Spielberg as someone who would cooperate with the government in order to either fake Alien existence or pave the way for people to accept them, except that this is a government he doesn't agree with, so he wouldn't do it.

Disclosure: Gay.

I legit want this to be a psyop so when they reveal the ayylmaos we can all pretend we are surprised.

It would be amusing if all this UFO stuff going on from the government releases turns out to be a viral marketing move for this movie. When he made AI, Spielberg did one of the first viral ARPs for a movie.

Um well, I like Chris Gore and..... hmm

Elsewhere he said the last 1/3 of the movie is completely confidential and so on.

What is just so confidential about the existence of aliens and shit, though? All trailers and promotional material has pretty much confirmed it's about aliens. Is he suggesting the third act twist is gonna reveal something "shocking" about the aliens, in that they're just us from another timeline, or the government made them, or the earth has been trapped in some wormhole ever since WWII but there's no actual way to get out of it even with CERN's efforts? Probably something stupid involving AI.

I don't have plans on seeing it, the trailer did nothing for me, especially with all those CGI animals like lmao.

So it's either mid or is just the result of Spielberg not having been the same since the 2000s, which he points out. That was ultimately the feeling I got from the trailer anyway even with their efforts to try and keep the last act secret.

Maybe humans were the aliens all along

I can see Spielberg as someone who would cooperate with the government in order to either fake Alien existence or pave the way for people to accept them, except that this is a government he doesn't agree with, so he wouldn't do it.

I can see Spielberg sending some slush money through his jew network to the Trump admin to get them to release the cLaSsIfIeD UFO FiLeS to drum up interest in what looks like a mediocre film that Stevie is desperately trying to make a summer blockbuster hit.

Spielberg lies often: he didn't make his break into show business by sneaking onto the Universal lot and pretending to work there until he was hired. He had a rich jew dad that knew a lawyer at Universal that got Stevie hired. Spielberg paid to get the billionaire tax passed in California and now that it is about to go into effect he's moving to New York to be closer to his kids. Suuuuure. Spielberg has around $10 billion bucks, that billionaire tax would take a big juicy bite out of his shekel hoard.

Sorry but this film and all the ufo files released recently are nothing special. Just anciently old men desperate for more attention. Magicians trying to distract you with sleight of hand.

I saw the cloud ships and I figure the only reason I care about this movie is as a narrative prison for that classic /x/ pasta about extradimensional being coming and using humanity in their rituals.

 

[mlanguishi]

Initial critic reviews are in. Fairly well received by critics. If the audience is in the same range I'll go check it out in the theater for sure.

[CervixHammer]

Might be interesting, but I have a feeling that third act is going to be syrupy and sentimental rather than "HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THOSE FUCKIN' ALIENS".

The man who made “A.I.: Artificial Intelligence” has returned 25 years later with a film that’s essentially about the need for empathetic connection with other real people and the uniting power of a truthful image.

Uhhh, yeah. The ending of AI where the super-advanced robots let the Haley Joel Osmentbot have one last day with his family or whatever. That's kind of what I'm expecting here, but with ayylmaos instead of robots that look like ayylmaos.
Also:

With “Disclosure Day,” he’s less interested in the impact than the ripple effect. What would happen if we knew the truth? Would it unite us or divide us further? And what would happen to faith and religion if we discovered other “supreme beings”?

I'm not sure it would change very much about life on Earth, although it would depend on what the truth is. If aliens have been visiting Earth, interacting with humans and human government, yeah, that would be a lot.
But if the truth is just something like we've found evidence that there's a planet a thousand light years away that supports life, maybe even intelligent life with civilization and technology, our radio signals haven't reached them yet. And maybe their technology is less-advanced than ours, or similar, or even somewhat more advanced. But if the speed of light is a hard limit, it's going to be a long time before we can talk to them.
Or maybe it's just something like "yeah, we know there are microbes on Europa, and something that in a million years might resemble a fish".

But hot damn would I love it if a flying saucer landed, and an indisputably non-human being emerged and said "Klaatu Verada Niktu".

 

[umseriously]

I'm guessing the twist or reveal of the movie is that the aliens have always lived among us (they live) and are actually the good guys which Spielberg hints at to be the actual truth in our reality (aliens run the government). At this point the general population wouldn't do anything if aliens actually did run the government. In the movie all the characters will gather around the campfire and sing the kumbaya together which will reinforce to the audience the message of "aliens good". Yeah I think I'm gonna watch this when it hits prime video for free.

 

[The Nothingness]

No surprise he's only focusing on Christianity and not other monotheistic religions.

"The movie takes the position of the believers, or the curious, the ones that have been deeply affected by this," said Spielberg. "The Emily Blunt character (Margaret Fairchild), you know, something has happened to her. She has no idea what it is. She has to try to understand why this has upended her life.

"And the movie also takes the position of the church. What does this do to the fundamental beliefs that many of us have? Is God our God only on this planet? Or is God a god for every system where there's civilization and intelligent life, and even developing life?"

"And the movie also takes the position of the church. What does this do to the fundamental beliefs that many of us have? Is God our God only on this planet? Or is God a god for every system where there's civilization and intelligent life, and even developing life?"

Why don't these Jewish directors ever take a critical look like this at their own religion?

 

[Blue Gem Kosher Queen]

Silly jewish director. All that ever was is part of his creation. Where there's light, there's God and in darkness and rest he still reverberates. Nothing ever really ends. His gospel shall expand among the stars. Kill xeno scum.

 

[Hijo de D. Woodchucks Jr.]

I don't know if you guys missed the fingertips of the aliens were glowing.

This is a stealth sequel to E.T.

 

[Quijibo69]

This looks like a worse than Spielberg's Ready Player One.

"And the movie also takes the position of the church. What does this do to the fundamental beliefs that many of us have? Is God our God only on this planet? Or is God a god for every system where there's civilization and intelligent life, and even developing life?"

See, I'm all for exploring the possibility of God being the creator of aliens and that they also worship Him. I think that's a neat idea and could bring out some interesting discussion.

But something tells me that's going to be used to bash believers for "not loving everyone" and that we should be kinder to those different from us since we're all children of God. You can still believe in that and loving your neighbors and praying for your enemies while defending your livelihoods and chasing unrepentant invaders out of your home. And killing in self-defense isn't morally wrong.

Disingenuous kike.

This looks like a worse than Spielberg's Ready Player One.

Nothing will top the sheer visual noise and ugly, shallowness of Ready Player One. It was Spielberg completely and utterly cashing out and just making something deeply disgusting. Didn't care for The Fablemans either. Way too schmaltzy and emotional. I get its autobiographical, but at the same time, it felt too indulgent. I don't think I've liked a Spielberg movie since Tintin.

I've read some reviews of Disclosure Day, so my expectations are very tempered now. If it's even a 5 or 6 outta 10 for me, I'd call that a success based on Spielberg's current career. Gonna see it on Friday afternoon.
