Steven Allen Spielberg was born on the 18th of
December 1946 in Ohio, USA. He is considered as not only the most influential man
in cinema but also the world. He is also considered as the best Director in the
history of cinema, since his films address humanistic issues such as the
Holocaust, the transatlantic slave trade, war, and terrorism. He is also one of
the co-founders of DreamWorks movie studio.
Many of his movies have been
considered as the best of all time. For example it would be hard to meet
someone who had not heard of: Saving Private Ryan (1998) And Schindler’s List
(1993) of which he won an Academy Award for best director in both.
Other famous
movies include: Jaws (1975) E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) and Jurassic Park
(1993) all of which achieved Box Office records for all becoming the highest
grossing films of their times. The gross of all Spielberg’s directed movies
exceed $8.5 billion. And Spielberg’s net worth is around $3.3 billion making
him the highest paid director ever. He has come a long way from making his
first movie at 16 with a budget of $500 and making a $1 dollar profit at his
local theatre.
Who could forget one of the most influencial and recognisable movie songs of all time, The Jaws Theme Song.
