In Reply to: Late Breaking News Straight from the mouth of Steven Spielberg... posted by DrJones on March 13, 2000 at 17:54:00:

I wanted to see the whole article, so I followed the link, but don't know Italian. Anyway I went to world.altavista.com and had it translate it for me. Anyway here is the very literal translation that altavista gave me:

Homage to the career: " Coppola calls me master but
rest one student ". Mendes author of the year.


To the Directors Guild, forts emotions and 15 minuteren of
applauses. Hollywood has embraced one of its symbols that
the removal of the kidney has endured. " I will rifare Indiana Jones
"

FROM OUR ENVOY

" D LOS ANGELES

andomi this prize to the career decided from my colleagues,
Francis Coppola has called me " master ", in Italian. Not credetegli:
I feel one student of cinema and I say to you that we will be and work
to along with, after this year of closing for our cinema ".

It has tried to mask the commozione, saturday evening to the
Century Plaza, Steven Spielberg receiving the acknowledgment to the
career of director datogli from the Directors Guild, the mayoralty of
the USA directors whom the old one has gathered together and the new
cinema of Hollywood. Then it has dried the tears and it has said: "
In this new deal of the cinema, than it makes to
feel a great family us where who is not young can learn from the boys,
I say thanks to you ".

After the operation that has it private of a kidney to
February half and the alarm on its health, this evening was its more
important and official apparition. Fifteen minuteren of applauses for
a standing ovation that he seemed interminable have embraced Spielberg
and also the presentatore of the festivity, the director Carl Reiner,
has been affected, while the actors of five films in competition
introduced the directors of the films: Cameron Diaz for " Being John
Malkovich ", Annette Bening for " American Beauty ", Russell Crowe for
" Insider ", Michael Clarke Duncan for " the green mile " and the
Haley small Joel Osment of " the sixth sense ". Also Spielberg like
producer, to that point, has withheld the breath. Then he has
rewarded " the its " Sam Mendes for " American Beauty ".

Behind the scenes, Steven has joked with Coppola, that she
seemed volerlo protect. " I have too many plans in order to lose
time. We will launch to days kolossal " the Gladiator " of Ridley
Scott and the film of animation " El Dorado " ".

The past year competed Benign between the directors. This
year they are all film authors Americans. What ne thinks? " One
foolish controversy. Sam Mendes is English, the director of " sixth
sixth ", M.N. Shyamalan, is Indian ". Smettiamola with the barriers,
that they hide interests. The talents are prevailed without
nationality ".

With the prize between the hands, next to which masters it is
thinking? " the idea that renders Me sad Kubrick is not to its
computer, to London, to seguirci. Me dispiace that its film is absent
from the nomination: every time that has created a work, Stanley has
reinventato for all we that we work in its shadow. Then task to
Kurosawa, Welles, Robert Wise that is with we this evening here,
Truffaut, Coppola, Allen, De Sica, Wilder. They are my preferred ones
".

Some have accused " American Beauty " of cynicism. " for the
Oscar there compete films that speak with hardness and poetry today,
like " Insider ", and works that watch to our history, like " the
green mile ". I have chosen Mendes in the first place because me he
seemed that he painted every real and magical moment, also in the
suffering of the life ".

It has intentional to create its study, the Dreamworks. Why?
" Because they are a boy to which to times he appeals to to age and
the others much less. Therefore I try, and he demonstrates " American
to it Beauty ", young people authors launch ".

When he goes to the cinema with its seven sons, than what he
says they, inasmuch as its moglie asserts that to house your end from
the breakfast is spoken about cinema? " For the truth, every day I
must endure the question: " When turns, papà, a new Indiana Jones "?
This evening I make one promised: Indiana Jones is in order to return
".
