Steven Spielberg is easily the most recognized and honored film directors of the last decades of America's twentieth century. So it was only natural that he was chosen to honor that event. His contribution is a twenty minute video presentation that would run, supported by live narration and a soaring musical score composed and conducted by the incomparable John Williams. This is easily Spielberg's most unique movie credit, one that is easy to be unrecognizable in his filmography. Especially since this was a one-time event, honoring the New Year ending 1999. I hope we will get a beautiful video release of this important event at some point. All we have are a couple horribly decayed VHS recording rips on the interwebs. I'm sure someone has a full feature version that is in pristine shape... Heck, ask Steven Spielberg if he has a copy on his iPhone. The film itself is nothing but tame Americana today. A beautiful acknowledgement of the American experience up to 1999. It covers the High American spirit and acknowledges the scars that unfortunately happened along the way. Clearly, this would never be mistaken for _'woke'_.
