Beschreibung

<b>This comprehensive and in-depth study delves into the life and works of the most famous director who has ever lived, Steven Spielberg.</b><br><br> Spielberg is <b>the medium’s defining artist</b>—the embodiment of the Hollywood ideal: the commercial potential of film married to its creative possibilities. He’s widely popular, but he’s also a stylist, and far darker than he is given credit for. Often, it is this very darkness that speaks to us. But, it’s also <b>his incredible knack for telling stories with lightness that speaks to millions, by mixing the extraordinary with the ordinary</b>. His leading characters, even Indiana Jones, are marked by their vulnerability, their mistakes, their yearning. It's the human touch.<br><br> There are <b>so many parts to Spielberg's story</b>: the suburban background that supplied the films with a biographical streak; the collaborations (with George Lucas and the Movie Brats in general, with composer John Williams, producer Kathleen Kennedy, editor Michael Khan, stars Richard Dreyfus, Harrison Ford, and Tom Hanks, and mogul and mentor Sid Sheinberg). The myths that bloomed from the making of these [...] nightmare shoot and stubborn shark behind <i>Jaws</i>. The <b>strange ambitions of <i>Close Encounters</i></b>. Dive bombing with <i>1941</i>. Inventing <i>Indiana Jones</i>. <b>Re-inventing the blockbuster </b>with <i>Jurassic Park</i>. Venturing into history’s darkest shadows with <i>Schindler’s List</i>. Transforming a genre with<i> Saving Private Ryan</i>. The <b>muscular, unpredictable, confrontational </b>Spielberg of <i>Minority Report</i>, <i>Munich</i>, and <i>Lincoln</i>.<br><br> And then there is his family. How his films, even late in his career—lionized, untouchable—went <b>in search of approval from his parents</b>. Just as he has craved the approval of his peers. That fateful Oscar took so long in coming...<br><br> Defining, appreciating, contextualizing, and understanding the films of Spielberg is a tall order.
