Steven Spielberg
Steven Spielberg has been directing many acclaimed movies for since 1961. You probably heard of Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, or E.T. well that’s just a part of the movies that he’s made. In total he made 141 movies and tv shows. Spielberg was bullied a lot when was a kid, but that didn’t stop him from being a filmmaker. Undoubtedly one of the most influential film personalities in the history of filmmaking. Steven Spielberg is perhaps Hollywood’s most notable director and one of the most wealthy filmmakers in the world. He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1946, he attended California State University at Long Beach, but later dropped out to pursue his entertainment career.
The movie that started Spielberg’s career was the 1976 movie, Jaws. It won various awards and broke many box office records. In 1983 Spielberg released E.T. the Extra Terrestrial which was nominated for 9 academy awards. Partnering with George Lucas, Spielberg released Jurassic Park. Spielberg took a break from making movies in the 1990s to create his own studio, Dreamworks. Right after that Spielberg directed the World War 2 movie, Saving Private Ryan.
Many people are asking if Spielberg will quit making films considering his age. Talking at a press conference for the film War Horse Spielberg said, “ I have no plans to quit. Clint Eastwood is one of my best friends and we have an almost jokey relationship about retirement”. It’s no mistake that people believe that he is the greatest film maker of all time. Spielberg has made some of the best movies of all time and will continue in the future.
