"Steven Spielberg is not honest. I hate Spielberg, because none of his movies are honest. He hates Jews, because he is Jewish. He is fascist, because America is the centre of his world. If I can ki!! Spielberg, I will ki!! Spielberg."
--- Alejandro Jodorowsky
Full Excerpt:
"Jodorowsky: I like Buñuel, because he was always honest. If he had limits, then he would make a limited picture. He always shot at his eye-level, he never put a shot up here, because he was limited, and he agreed to be limited. Bunuel is honest. I like pictures that are honest. Like some Hong Kong pictures — those filmmakers are honest thieves, they are making business, and they are so honest about it, it’s fantastic.
But, say, Spielberg is not honest. I hate Spielberg, because none of his movies are honest. His violence is ill, it’s not honest. He shows an ill violence, as though he was the father of history. He hates Jews, because he is Jewish. He is making business with that, with Europe. He is fascist, because America is the centre of his world. If I can ki!! Spielberg, I will ki!! Spielberg.

Also, I love Cronenberg, because he is an auteur, he has his obsession. I like him. He is honest. There are a lot of moviemakers I like, and there are others I hate. But what I hate the most is Spielberg. And second Walt Disney.
Interviewer: Didn’t you used to hate Walt Disney above all others?
Jodorowsky: Yes. But now it’s Spielberg. I think Spielberg is the son from when Walt Disney f**ked Minnie Mouse. And then there was Spielberg."

In 2013, Jodorowsky said:
"I always say Steven Spielberg is a degenerate, because he was the one who started this trend of making cinema a big spectacle and applauding special effects."
