Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Steven Spielberg: 1 line

  1. people (people) · through The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020), which they acted in: Steven Spielberg ⇒ The Trial of the Chicago 7 (the host's read). Spielberg long wanted to make it and encouraged Sorkin to write the script.
    “Steven Spielberg had always wanted to make this movie.”
    The Big Picture · Aaron Sorkin Top 5s and ‘The Trial of the Chicago 7’ · 1:31:53 · Sean Fennessey (0.80 sure it was them)

Drawn on by

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018): 1 line

  1. lineage (inspiration) · through Bridge of Spies (2015), which they acted in: Bridge of Spies ⇒ Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (the maker said so: interviews). The Fallen Kingdom filmmaker said he structured it as two movies, like Bridge of Spies.
    “He said that he liked that Bridge of Spies was like 2 different movies.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · Planet of the Apes with Matt Singer · 1:33:57 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

Punishment Park: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020), which they acted in: The Trial of the Chicago 7 ⇒ Punishment Park (the host's read). Punishment Park is recommended as a very loose take on this trial.
    “There's this great movie called Punishment Park that I would recommend to anybody that is very loosely based on this trial.”
    The Big Picture · Aaron Sorkin Top 5s and ‘The Trial of the Chicago 7’ · 1:31:32 · Sean Fennessey (0.80 sure it was them)

What the speakers said they did

Acting (3) everyone in acting

What was said about them, by kind

people (2)

  1. people (people): Mark Rylance → The Trial of the Chicago 7. Rylance is cast as Kunstler but only plays 'a Mark Rylance character' with no big speech.
    “Mark Rylance just kind of felt like he was doing a Mark Rylance character, you know?”
    The Big Picture · Aaron Sorkin Top 5s and ‘The Trial of the Chicago 7’ · 1:52:09 · Amanda Dobbins (0.60 sure it was them)
  2. people (front-loaded performance): Mark Rylance → R. Lee Ermey. Rylance in Bridge of Spies is a comparable case of owning the first 45 minutes and being snubbed or split.
    “Like, I was thinking about Mark Rylance, Bridge of Spies, right?”

Fun items about them

  1. fun, about Mark Rylance: Rylance as Kunstler is the custodian of decency in a film by a believer in decency.
    “he's the custodian of decency”
