Spielberg's imagination

 Spielberg's imagination

From ordinary life to great success

 The first person I give my preference to is Steven Allan Spielberg. He is the most successful  and extraordinary director and screenwriter.

The success, the deification, a near unquantifiable contribution to not just cinema but modern culture itself, and the reams of praise that smother him like a giant quilt. Given such a position, it almost feels moot to extol virtues that have been ringing in his ears for years. - According to New York Film Academy

 He was born on 18 December in 1946. The older brother to three younger sisters, Spielberg began experimenting with film in his early teens making movies he would show at his family house.

I never felt comfortable with myself, because I was never part of the majority. I always felt awkward and shy and on the outside of the momentum of my friends' lives...- Steven Spielberg

The job at Universal came almost by accident as he jumped from a tour bus and ventured inside one of the buildings on the studio grounds. His enthusiasm made such an impression on one of the workers, they gave him a pass to come back and watch directors at work. Spielberg made a point of being friendly with the security guards on the lot and on the fourth day he just waved rather than displaying his pass.

 

 

His first Oscar came to him with his film "Schindler's list"  It is based on the novel Schindler's Ark by Thomas Keneally, an Australian novelist. The film is based on the life of Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who saved the lives of more than a thousand mostly Polish-Jewish refugees during the Holocaust by employing them in his factories. It stars Liam Neeson as Schindler, Ralph Fiennes as Schutzstaffel (SS) officer Amon Goeth, and Ben Kingsley as Schindler's Jewish accountant Itzhak Stern. John Williams composed the score.
