Exceptionally clever, creative, audacious and talented: these are some adjectives attributed by film critics to Steven Spielberg, an American filmmaker.
Spielberg was born in 1946, in Cincinnati City (Ohio), but as a child he moved to California with his family.
In his early years, he faced discrimination due to having a Jewish background, and this event inspired him to make “Schindler’s List”, which was considered the best portrayal of what the Nazi terror was. As a consequence, he won his first Oscar with this film.
However, Spielberg’s first blockbuster was “Jaws” (1975), which was able to attract hundreds of people to the cinemas around the world and which made more than US$ 100 million.
In the 1970`s, he formed a special partnership with John Williams, a famous American composer, and it proved to be really successful, so much so that it lasts up to the present days.
Their works are so intertwined that it is impossible to think of any of Spielberg´s films without thinking of their soundtrack at the same time.
For example:
1) Think of “Superman”… We’ll give you 3 seconds to remember the soundtrack…
>> 1
>> 2
>> 3
It was very easy, wasn’t it?
2) What about “Indiana Jones” now?
>> 1
>> 2
>> 3
Did you have any difficulties in remembering it?
Of course you didn’t, right?
