Steven Spielberg
Like a light bulb in the night attracting insects, movies as a form of entertainment have clutched people's attention. Through out the last 60 years the duration of the film industry has enabled directing techniques to evolve. This also has allowed computer animation, sound effects and make up to develop, in turn drastically changing the American entertainment. The architect behind this change in movie making is a man by the name of Stephen Spielberg. In the last 30 years, Spielberg has risen to be the most renowned filmmaker in America. He has produced and directed the most memorable films in history, and embedded his mark in American culture. Steven Spielberg was born on December 18, 1946, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Growing up as the only Jewish family in the neighborhood exposed impacted his childhood and later his movies. Looking for a distraction from life, young Spielberg picked up his father's 8mm camera, which was to be his newfound hobby. In which he created many short films, enlisting his family members as cast members. At the age of 13, Spielberg taught himself how to master camera angles, technical tricks, and visual storytelling skills. His first feature-length film, Firelight, was two-and-a-half-hours long.

Later he directed the film's two sequels, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. He attended California State College at Long Beach, and majored in English. This particular movie was awarded 12 Oscar nominations but none for Spielberg's direction. Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Arc came out in 1981. . Jaws marked a new movie genre, the blockbuster. Instead Lucas suggested a movie set in the 1930's about an archaeologist and his adventures. Strangely enough, it received praise from box office critics but failed at the box office. Inspired by a real incident, Spielberg constructed this movie about a young couple that led a police chase across Texas as they attempt to retrieve their baby from the foster parents. The film Amblin told the story of a couple hitchhiking from the Mojave Desert to the Pacific Ocean. At this point in his career Spielberg was perceived more as of a producer than a director. This film was about a gentle alien who was befriended by a young boy after being left behind by his spaceship. At that time, Spielberg's marriage was a mess that resulted in a divorce with his wife, the actress Amy Irving of four years, with whom he had a son called Max. The Screen Directors Guild demonstrated collegial support by making Spielberg the write-in winner of its own award.
