With this movie Steven Spielberg became the 1st (and only to this day) movie director ever to direct 3 movies that were at 1 point the highest-grossing movie in the world (the others being Jaws and E.T.) and the 1st to direct 2 consecutive ones (the other being E.T.)

Steven Spielberg’s influence on cinema is near impossible to defeat. Just the sheer variety of films he had made, from blockbusters like Jaws and Raiders of the Lost Ark, heartwarming family friendly films like ET: The Extra Terrestrial, and war time epics like Saving Private Ryan and Schindler’s List.

Spielberg has a really good reputation with nearly anyone he's worked with. One of the best parts of the HBO documentary that came out earlier this year was about how well he works with children. Most people that point out Spielberg and Tom Hanks are just making a joke because they are basically considered the saints of Hollywood.

Spielberg is a good director, but he will never be known for his subtlety. He crafts every scene to make sure the audience feels the proper emotion, but in doing so he sacrifices realism - which is one of the reasons why Saving Private Ryan's opening sequence was so highly praised, imo - he de-tuned the emotion and just focused on making the ...

Spielberg is a huge fan of the ‘54 Godzilla and ‘33 King Kong. That said, I imagine GMO specifically struck a chord because Spielberg’s father was a fighter pilot in WWII on the Pacific Front, in fact, many of Steven’s earliest “films” before breaking into Hollywood and ideas for films as a kid were centred around that conflict.

Steven Spielberg and his screenwriter David Koepp know exactly how to build tension, when to let the audience breathe, and how to deploy comic relief. The real stars are the dinosaurs , of course, but the human characters, called „serviceable“ by contemporary critics, are actually all …

Jul 16, 2019 · It may be self-indulgent in some places and has a lot of fluff, but it spanned an impressive three generations and Spielberg wrote a pretty solid story for a 14 1/2 hour series.
