Steven Spielberg

英语故事Steven Spielberg (1)青少年时期便崭露头角，而后跻身全球电影艺术大师之林。

让我们走近著名导演斯皮尔伯格与他的影像世界。

Steven Spielberg (1)A man over 50 takes stock of his dwindling physical inventory and starts thinking not of empire building but of simple maintenance in health, family and career — the preservation, for just a few more years of the suddenly precious status quo. Growth is measured in the spreading acreage around the waist, or in that weird cyst on your neck that makes you wonder if you’ve been infiltrated by aliens. The people you work with, who used to be older and as stuffy as your parents, are now younger, as mysterious as your kids, and taking over.Spielberg may be immune to all this. The fellow who makes movies everyone wants to see is not like everyone else. “People like Steven don’t come along every day,” says StarWars creator George Lucas, a friend and collaborator. “And when they do, it’s an amazing thing. It’s like talking about Einstein or Tiger Woods. He’s not in a group of filmmakers his age; he’s far, far away.”Born in Cincinnati on December 18, 1946, and raised in New Jersey and Arizona, Spielberg always had a love and fascination for the movie industry. As a pre-teen, he charged admission to his home movies while his sister sold popcorn. At the age of 13, Spielberg won a prize for a 40-minute war movie he titled Escape to Nowhere. In 1963, at the young age of 16, his 140-minute production of Firelight (which would later inspire Close Encounters) was shown in a local movie theater and brought in $100 profit.After being denied entrance into traditional film schools, Spielberg entered California State University to study English. Steven Spielberg’s professional movie career began the day when he decided to jump off a tour bus at Universal Studios Hollywood and wander around. He found an abandoned closet and turned it into an office. After some time, the security guards had seen him so often that they would wave himthrough the gates, no questions asked.Once inside and settled, Spielberg started production on Amblin. This movie, only 24 minutes long, led to his becoming the youngest director ever to be signed to a long-term deal with a major Hollywood studio (Universal). The movie had a $15,000 budget, provided by a friend who was also trying to achieve his big break in the industry. Amblin won several film festival awards including a showing at the Atlanta Film Festival in 1969. Spielberg was then signed to a 7-year contract under the Television division. After directing a diversity of TV shows, he directed the suspense-filled made-for-TV film Duel which received critical and audience acclaim. Spielberg’s television success was soon parlayed into big screen stardom. His first feature was 1974’s The Surgarland Express, and even then Spielberg was showing signs of excellence. The film won a Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Screenplay. The following year came Jaws. This very successful horror film about a man-eating shark captured the attention of the world. The movie was nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, and won several Oscars for technical categories. In 1998, the film was named by the American FilmInstitute as one of the 100 best American films of the century.Spielberg followed up the success of Jaws two years later with his next film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, which received an academy nomination for best director. He next teamed up with George Lucas and produced an action adventure picture, Raiders of the Lost Arc. In 1982, Spielberg’s next film E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial became the biggest domestic moneymaker of all time. E.T. was in fact the first movie to be produced by Amblin Entertainment, a production company formed by Spielberg in 1982 carrying the name of his first big break in the business. Amblin worked together with many other studios such as Universal Pictures, Columbia Pictures and Warner Brothers. With the Amblin name and logo prevalent, many films became immediate successes, including such films as Twister, Gremlins, Jurassic Park and Schindler’s List. Using his tremendous success as a springboard, DreamWorks SKG was formed in 1994. The first new movie studio to form in Hollywood in over 75 years, DreamWorks joined the forces of Spielberg, Jeffery Katzenberg and David Geffen, along with the backing of numerous partners and investors.This year, Spielberg came up with a new movie A.I.: Artificial Intelligence. A love story, a prophecy and a fairy tale (Pinocchio, to be exact) in the guise of a science-fiction film, A. I. represents the collaboration and collision of two master filmmakers: Stanley Kubrick, who spent parts of more than 15 years on the project; and Steven Spielberg, whom Kubrick finally asked to direct it, and who did, from his own screenplay, after Kubrick’s death in 1999. The film, whose genesis and shooting have long been cocooned in secrecy, opens this summer throughout Asia.For his first sci-fi project since 2001, Kubrick had planned, as Spielberg says, “to take a step beyond the relationship that HAL9000 has with Bowman and Poole, and tell a kind of future fairy tale about artificial intelligence.”When he suggested that Spielberg direct it, “I thought he was out of his mind. He was giving up one of the best stories he had ever told. But he said, ‘This story is closer to your sensibilities than my own.’” Once Spielberg began work on the film, at the behest of the director’s widow Christiane and her brother, Kubrick’s producer Jan Harlan, “I felt that Stanley really hadn’t died, that he was with me when I waswriting the screenplay and shooting the movie.”A.I. is fascinating as a wedding of two disparate auteurs. Kubrick took five, seven, a dozen years to make a movie; he optioned Brian Aldiss’s short story Supertoys Last All Summer Long, on which A.I. is based, in 1983. Spielberg has shot multiple films in one year, and in his spare time he helps run the DreamWorks film studio. Spielberg has the warmest of directorial styles; Kubrick’s is among the coolest. One aims to seduce the audience; the other wanted to bend movie-goers to see it his way.In the A.I. world, robots are made to give pleasure and, in David’s case, offer joy. The toy boy’s sole purpose is to give and elicit affection. His obsession (in Kubrick’s term) or dream (in Spielberg’s term) requires him to do everything to achieve Monica’s love — after she renounces him, after she abandons him, after she’s gone. That’s pure Spielberg: the story of a stranded or abandoned child searching for signposts to home, for the reunion of the nuclear family. This motif has been playing from his first feature, The Sugarland Express (two young marrieds struggle to rescue their child fromfoster parents), through a half dozen other films he has directed or produced (Poltergeist, Back to the Future, The Goonies, Empire of the Sun, Hook, Saving Private Ryan). That’s a pretty full gallery of lost boys and girls.That’s an old-fashioned theme, but so is robotics. The Aldiss story (in which a couple contemplate dumping their robo-child as soon as the state allows them to have a real one of their own) was published in 1969 just a year after Kubrick’s 2001 was released. These days, artificial intelligence has been overtaken, as scientific hope and ethical threat, by genetic engineering. A.I., set far in the future, conjures up popular worries 30 years in the past.(from TIME, June, 1997)。

英语故事Steven Spielberg (2)为何斯皮尔伯格能成为叱咤风云的银幕大师？Steven Spielberg (2)One key to Spielberg’s success is his urge for cost control. With all its effects, The Lost World cost about $75 million, peanuts compared with Speed 2: Cruise Control, heading for $140million, and The Titanic, sailing past the $200 million mark. During an Amistad pre production conference, Spielberg flummoxed Katzenberg and DreamWorks film exec Walter Parkes by demanding that the already relatively frugal $56 million budget be cut an additional $20 million. “I saw The English Patient,” he said. “I know we can do this for less.”Because of weather troubles during the New England location shooting, Spielberg didn’t save quite as much as he wanted. But, as Katzenberg says, “The budget has a three in front of it.”As he prepares a shot on the Amistad set, Spielberg muses,“I’m deciding whether to use my castle or my bishop. How am I being threatened here? How can I advance? Directing is about seeing 20 moves ahead while you’re working on the next five.”He explains that “each scene is like a little movie,” with a beginning, usually a middle and no end. “If there’s an absolute ending to a scene, then the movie can play like a series of camel humps. I want each scene with a great beginning and a really good middle.”Spielberg has always maintained that for him, family is the most important thing. Amy Irving gave him his first child, Max, in 1985. With Kate Capshaw, whom he married in 1991, he has a brood of seven. He was often too preoccupied to be a perfect dad. “It’s full-time work,”Spielberg says of fatherhood, “because every one of our kids is a leader. Seven leaders, no followers — which makes our kitchen at dinnertime look and sound like the House of Commons between the Labor Party and the Tories.” This genial chaos is managed by Capshaw and a live in couple in the Spielberg’s palatial home in the Los Angeles suburb. “I really love the diaper part,” Kate says, “the rocking and the bottle-feeding and the lunch menus. The things Steven does are the things he can do uniquely, liketelling stories and drawing creatures I could never imagine. The two of us blessedly allow each other to do what we do best.”The family room is the food room. “We have about six wasted rooms in our house,”Spielberg says, “because we just live in the kitchen.” There he helps the kids build highways of dominos that wind around the furniture and down the cellar steps. On one wall hangs a large board that notes every-one’s activities, from karate lessons and art classes to Dad’s location shoots. “There’s also this couch,” says Capshaw, “which is Steven Central. He has a bunch of scripts to read, and tapes — casting reels, bits of animation, etc. — that he pops into the VCR. But if one of the kids asks him to build a castle, he’s immediately down on the floor, building that castle. The kid runs away, Steven crawls back on the couch and gets back to business.”“What binds my films together,”he says, “is the concept of loneliness and isolation and being pursued by all the forces of nature. That comes from who I was and how I was raised.”Leah Spielberg is the matriarch everyone knows. “Once Nancy Reagan saw me,”she recalls, “and said, ‘Look,there’s Steven Spielberg’s mother.’” She is the one for whom her son throws a surprise party at the Beverly Hills, and is told to pick out anything she wants. Spielberg adores his mother. Leah doesn’t even pretend to be the shaper of her famous son’s blooming genius. Looking back on his youth, she says, “He scared me! I didn’t know anything about raising children — and it took a concerted effort just to get him past his infancy. Now he has dimensions I can’t even fathom. Most people dream. Steven dreams; then he fulfills.”In Phoenix, where the Spielbergs lived from 1957 to 1964, four kids — Steven and his three younger sisters — filled the house with noise. The boy’s imaginative sense of destruction made him a terror to his sisters. He pulled the head off one of their dolls and set it on a plate garnished with lettuce and tomatoes, like a pig at a luau. “When I was a baby,” says Anne, later a screenwriter (Big), “they had to put chicken wire around the crib so he wouldn’t throw toy cars at me.Arnold, an electrical engineer, played the disciplinarian in the family. “My father would be upset thatSteven got detentiond,”recalls Anne, “while my mother encourage him to play hooky. Dad would ask what we were going to do with our lives, while mom would say, ‘Don’t worry, just live for today.’”Arnold worked hard to be a good, traditional dad. “Steven was terrible in chemistry,”he says, “and I’d try helping him with his homework. Once, when he got a D in the subject, he came home and said, ‘Dad, you flunked.’”But some of Arnold’s teaching took. He had been an Air Force sharpshooter in World War II, and he taught Steven this skill. In a grander game —filmmaking — Arnold was the flight instructor spurring his boy to be top gun. “Arnold turned Steven on to filmmaking,”notes Joseph McBride, author of the new Steven Spielberg. “Arnold helped Steven learn to direct; he was the family storyteller; he was interested in science-fiction. Steven is the combination of two remarkable parents.”The elder Spielbergs divorced when Steven was 19; he remained close to Leah and her new husband Bernie Adler. “Bernie didn’t want me around,” says Arnold. “It becamean uncomfortable situation. The kids suffered, and I just had to ride it out. At the premiere of Jaws, we sat at separate tables.”With his father at a distance, Steven looked for new father figures, finding one in Steven J. Ross, the charismatic boss of Warner Bros. “When my son got his honorary degree at Brandeis, I saw the way he looked at Steve Ross, and I could tell Ross was his surrogate father,” Arnold says. “I’ll admit I had a touch of envy — not enough to make me feel sour, just enough to give me a little itch.”A few years ago, both Ross and Adler died. Says Anne: “It shocked Steven into seeing the fragility of people’s lives.”Deprived of surrogate fathers, he thought more about his real one. “I didn’t want to be as wrapped up in my work as my dad,”says Spielberg, “and yet inexorably I was becoming my dad. So we finally reached out to each other. It was like coming home again, making up for lost time. Now we’re so close, it’s fantastic.”As a major American icon, Spielberg has written, acted in, directed and produced many award-winning, top grossing movies of all time, along with some of the most remembered andloved. He is also the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute and the prestigious Irving G. Thasberg Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Roger Ebert (Sun-Times film critic) has stated “If Spielberg never directed another film, his place in movie history would be secure. No other director has been more successful at the box office and few have placed more titles on various lists of great films.”(from TIME, July, 2001)。

Steven Spielberg, a famous director, as well as a scenario and a producer, is born in Ohio in America, 1946. In his film career, he hit a variety of themes and types, the holocaust, slavery, war and terrorism and other subjects. There is no doubt that he is one of the most influential movie makers during the history of film and he may be the best known director in Hollywood, and the one of the wealthiest filmmakers in the world.The best known character of his movies maybe the alien, E.T.. The movie tells a warm story that the ten-year-old boy Elliott makes friends with an alien named E.T. through time and space. Though they look so different from each other, they both have a kind and sensitive mind, and long for love and protection. Strangely, telepathy is build between them, for example, when E.T. is sick, Elliott is feeling bad at the same time, and when E.T.is drinking, Elliott is drunk, too. This warm movie touched many people’s hearts, for what makes it the highest-grossing. There is no doubt that it is a great success.Spielberg’s science fiction and adventure films sometimes centering on children , were seen as an archetype of modern Hollywood blockbuster filmmaking.Another prominent movie is the series of Jurassic Park. As one of Spielberg’s science fiction and adventure movies, it was a huge success as well. This series has three movies. In the movies, the scientists escape from dinosaurs, which are created by greedy John Hammond with ancient genes just for profit.It is really an exciting movie, which brought Spielberg fame and wealth.At the same time, Spielberg also direct war movies, famous as Saving Private Ryan. It tells a solemn and stirring story. The movie is based on the World War II, after the landing in Normandy. Three of the four sons of Ryans’ had been died, and the youngest still remained missing, the army chief of staff, George Marshall, out of humanitarian considerations, set out a special unit to bring Ryan out of war zone to home to take care of his mother. So Captain John Miller gathered another seven soldiers to begin the trip. However, none of them knew what was waiting for then ahead. It was a brutal trip. Seeing comrade die one after another, they could not help doubting the rationality of this task: why this person was worth such a hazard? Was Ryan’s life more worthful than theirs? Though they were puzzled, they still stuck to accomplishing the task given by superior. After numerous difficulties and dangers, they finally found Ryan somewhere in battlefield, but Ryan, who had a strong will and a sense of responsibility, was not willing to leave the battlefield, because a large number of enemies were approaching. So Miller with his soldiers decided to stay with Ryan to guard the bridge as well as protecting Ryan. At that time, they no longer talked about whose life was more valuable, they all had a common goal: guard the bridge. At last, six soldiers died, Ryan came back home safely with a heavy heart. This movie throws out a question: whether the humanitarian saving a person with the risk of eight soldiers’ lives is right or not? Thanks to this reflection, this movie’s quality and thought are developed a lot as a documentary, which unearth the justice and humanitarian of the war.During his film career,he made a lot of successful movies, especially the Schindler’s List, the Terminal, Vanilla Sky, Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind, Artificial Intelligence: AI, Empire of the Sun , Back to the Future, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Jaws, The Color Purple, Amistad, etc. Butfor me, the most impressive movie must be Catch If You Can.In this movie, Leonardo DiCaprio played the role of a wanted man,, Frank, and Tom Hanks played the role of a cop., Carl. Frank is the youngest wanted man of FBI in history. It is a story based on reality. It is adapted from an autobiographical novel,named Catch Me If You Can. His criminal means is so powerful, his ability of disguising is even unbelievable. He can disguise as doctor, lawyer, pilot, journalist, and so on. Needless to say, Frank gained a lot of money in that way. He was so good at making fake checks that even bank clerk was not able to distinguish. So he frauded more than four million dollars in several years. Then he found that FBI was chasing him, so he changed his identification to get rid of them for many times. Nearly in the end, he was captured, he sorrowfully found his father’s accidental death and that his mother had already remarried and had a happy family, but it was not the end. By accident, Carl found Frank was a specialist on check, he could distinguish fake check from the real, though they were almost exactly the same. So Carl wanted to help Frank get a happy life by Frank’s talent, so five years later, Frank get individual freedom with the help of agent Carl, but Frank needed to help FBI as a technical adviser. Since Frank was released in 1974, he has assisted FBI to arrest check forgers who were so highly skilled that it was pretty difficult to catch. And Frank was regarded as one of the most authoritative specialists on bank fraud and forgery case. As well, Frank designed new check which is safe and is used by large enterprises everyday. As his reward, these enterprises paid for him millions dollars every year. And Carl became his lifelong friends. There is no doubt that Frank Abagnale is another significant character in Spielberg’s movies. This bizarre story hit every mind, and is thought-provoking, and we all marvel at the talent and expertise he had.Spielberg is the most financially successful motion picture director of all time. He has directed and/or produced a number of major box office hits, giving him great influence in Hollywood. As of 2004, he has been listed in Premiere and other magazines as the most "powerful" and "influential" figure in the motion picture industry, and at the end of the 20th century LIFE named him the most influential person of his generation.。

电影导演史蒂芬·斯皮尔伯格曾两度荣获奥斯卡最佳导演奖，分别是1993年的《辛德勒的名单》与1998年的《拯救大兵瑞恩》。

他有三部电影，《大白鲨》(1975) 、《E.T.外星人》(1982) 与《侏罗纪公园》，曾打破票房纪录，成为当时最卖座的电影。

导演作品：《大白鲨》，1975年，惊悚片。

被誉为动作片领域的分水岭，暑期大片的开山之作，并且是最早的“高概念”电影之一。

1976年夏的《预兆》及一年后的《星球大战》都追随了《大白鲨》的道路。

荣获第48届奥斯卡3项大奖最佳剪辑最佳混音最佳电影配乐预算700万美金票房美国282,417,529美元全球470,653,000美元《第三类接触》1977年科幻电影的里程碑之一，不止是因为它特别的影响力，也因为《第三类接触》将外星人描述为温和友善的，这与其它早期的电影大不相同，因为在第三类接触之前的电影几乎都将外星人塑造成邪恶的怪物。

总共入围第50届奥斯卡8项大奖，最终荣获1项大奖：获得最佳摄影奖。

美国戏剧学院在1998年时将《第三类接触》列入美国影史100大名单中，排名第64位。

此片也因为它“文化上、历史上、美学上”的重要价值，被选为美国国家电影保护局（National Film Preservation Board）典藏。

《夺宝奇兵》于1981年的六月十二日上映，随即成为当年票房冠军，至今依然是票房最高的电影之一。

介绍电影导演和具体内容英语作文My Favorite Movie Director - Steven SpielbergHi everyone! My name is Timmy and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to tell you all about my favorite movie director, Steven Spielberg. He's made so many amazing movies that I just love watching over and over again!Steven Spielberg was born in 1946 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Even when he was a kid, he loved telling stories and making up little movies with his toys and a camera his dad gave him. Can you imagine being so interested in movies at such a young age? That's really cool!When he got older, Steven studied film in college and made his first real movie called Duel in 1971. It was about a terrifying truck driver who tried to run a man off the road. Even though it was just a TV movie, people thought it was super intense and thrilling. That early success helped launch Steven's incredible career making blockbuster movies.One of Steven's most famous movies is Jaws from 1975. It's a really scary film about a massive great white shark that starts attacking people at a beach town. You might not think a movie about a shark could be that frightening, but let me tell you - Jawswill make you never want to go swimming in the ocean again! The shark looks so real and terrifying. My favorite part is when it jumps up and takes a huge bite out of a boat. Watching Jaws makes my heart race like crazy!A few years later in 1977, Steven made the first Star Wars movie. I'm sure you've all heard of Star Wars – it's the epic space adventure with awesome characters like Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and the scary Darth Vader. It takes place in this amazing galaxy far, far away with robots, spaceships, and crazy alien planets. The special effects were mindblowing for that time period and it became one of the biggest hits ever. Star Wars sparked my big imagination about exploring new worlds and going on daring adventures. It's just such an incredibly fun ride!Some other really cool Spielberg movies I love are Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) which has the coolest archaeologist ever named Indiana Jones, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) about a lovable alien getting stranded on Earth, and Jurassic Park (1993) where scientists build a crazy dinosaur theme park that goes horribly wrong. Talk about excitement and adventure! Between the daring heroes, state-of-the-art visual effects, amazing stories, and edge-of-your-seat thrills, Spielberg's movies just suck you in from the first scene.Not only does Steven make super entertaining popcorn movies, but he also directs really meaningful and important films too. Schindler's List from 1993 is all about the horrific events of the Holocaust during World War II. It's a powerful and emotional look at both the worst of humanity's cruelty, but also the courage of one man who worked hard to save innocent lives. Even though parts of it are difficult to watch, that movie teaches such an impactful lesson about fighting against hatred and injustice. For a fun movie director, Spielberg really knows how to make you think deeply too.Another great meaningful film by Steven is The Color Purple from 1985. It deals with some tough topics like racism, domestic violence, and finding the inner strength to stand up for yourself as a woman. Even though it has very serious subject matter, the filmmaking is so beautifully done with rich characters that you can't help but feel inspired by the end. I remember crying but also cheering while watching it.So as you can probably tell, I'm a huge Steven Spielberg fan! From edge-of-your-seat blockbusters to profound stories that make you think, his movies have the ability to make you experience every type of emotion. He's able to capture both thefun spirit of adventure and also highlight really meaningful messages about the world.Whether it's getting chills down your spine as that great white shark creeps up on some poor swimmer, or imagining yourself piloting the Millennium Falcon spacecraft, or being moved to tears by acts of heroism in dark times, Spielberg will transport you to amazing places. Movies let you live a thousand lifetimes and no one brings those stories more vividly to life on the big screen than Steven Spielberg in my opinion. He's hands-down my favorite director of all time!。

That's how I feel when I watch movies made by my favorite director, Steven Spielberg! His films are so exciting, with amazing special effects that make you believe the impossible is actually happening right before your eyes.Steven Spielberg is one of the most famous movie directors of all time. He has made tons of awesome movies over the years, entertaining kids and grownups alike with his incredible imagination and storytelling skills. Some of his most popular films are E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, and Jaws. No matter what kind of movie he makes, you can always count on non-stop action, heartwarming characters, and unbelievable visual effects.One of the reasons I love Spielberg's movies so much is because of how creative and original they are. He doesn't justmake the same old kinds of movies over and over again. Instead, he uses his brilliant mind to come up with exciting new concepts that nobody has ever seen before, like turning nightmares about terrifying sharks or dinosaurs into edge-of-your-seat blockbuster hits!Take Jaws for example, Spielberg's very first major movie success from 1975. The story is about a giant man-eating shark that starts attacking people at a beach town. It may sound like a pretty simple and scary premise, but Spielberg made it so thrilling and memorable with his filmmaking skills. The scenes of that huge shark silently stalking its prey underwater still send chills down my spine! And who could forget that nail-biting moment when the sheriff is suddenly face-to-face with the shark's massive jaws? I get goosebumps just thinking about it.Then there's E.T. from 1982, which is one of my all-time favorite movies. It has such a clever and heartwarming story about a young boy named Elliott who discovers and befriends a gentle alien that was left behind on Earth. Spielberg perfectly captures the magic of childhood imagination and unconditional friendship. The scenes of E.T. and Elliott zooming across the sky on a flying bicycle against that gorgeous full moon backdrop areso iconic and make me smile every time. By the end, you can't help but be in awe of their pure, unbreakable bond.Spielberg's action-packed Indiana Jones movies are also hugely entertaining, following the funny and daring adventures of the iconic archaeologist hero played by Harrison Ford. Whether he's outrunning giant boulders, battling bad guys with his trusty whip, or traveling to exotic locations to uncover ancient artifacts, Indiana Jones is always getting into one hair-raising scrape after another. Like Spielberg's other films, the Indiana Jones stories are endlessly creative and keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.What I find really cool about Spielberg is that even after reaching the highest levels of success as a filmmaker, he never lost his passion for telling amazing stories and creating pure movie magic. At the heart of every Spielberg film, you'll find imaginative ideas, relatable characters you can't help but care about, valuable lessons about friendship or family, and scenes so spectacular you have to see them to believe them.That's why whenever I know a new Steven Spielberg movie is coming out, I get unbelievably excited. I can't wait to experience whatever new worlds, adventures, and unforgettable moments he'll take us to next. Whether it involves far-off galaxies, hiddentreasures, time travel, or even further showcasing the latest in special effects, I'm always in for an entertaining thrill ride.In my opinion, Steven Spielberg is a true master of his craft and one of the greatest directors who ever lived. He has the incredible ability to consistently create films that capture the imaginations of kids and adults alike through spellbinding visuals and captivating storytelling. From heart-pumping action sequences to tender family moments, no matter what kind of movie he makes, you know you're in for a treat. Spielberg's passion for filmmaking and drive to push technological boundaries help make the impossible possible on the big screen.So if you've somehow never seen a Steven Spielberg classic, I highly recommend checking one out as soon as you can! You'll quickly篇2My Favorite Director: Steven SpielbergHave you ever watched a movie that made you feel like you were really there, living through all the action and adventure on the screen? Movies that thrill you, make you laugh, and maybe even cry a little? If so, then you've probably seen a film by my favorite director, Steven Spielberg!Steven Spielberg is one of the most famous movie directors of all time. He's made so many incredible movies that have amazed millions of people around the world. I first discovered how awesome his movies are when I watched Jurassic Park a few years ago. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw those dinosaurs brought to life so vividly on the big screen. It felt like the dinosaurs were real!After watching Jurassic Park, I became obsessed with seeing every Steven Spielberg film I could get my hands on. My parents started letting me watch his classics like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Jaws. Each movie pulled me into its story in such an immersive way. The music, the characters, the special effects – everything felt so vibrant and real.What makes Steven Spielberg's movies so extraordinary is his ability to transport you to different worlds and make you feel all kinds of emotions. One minute you're laughing at the silly antics of E.T., and the next you're terrified as the giant great white shark looms up from the depths in Jaws. Mr. Spielberg has a true gift for blending adventure, humor, and depth into his storytelling.He also tends to make movies that create a sense of wonder and magic. Who didn't dream of befriending a lovable alien afterwatching E.T.? Or wish they could discover some ancient treasure after watching Raiders of the Lost Ark? His imagination seems to know no bounds when it comes to conceiving new realms of fantasy and bringing them alive on the screen.At the same time, many of Mr. Spielberg's films deal with very real human struggles, relationships, and emotions. Movies like Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, and The Color Purple tackle heavy subjects like war, racism, and genocide in a deeply moving way. Despite being works of fiction, they make you really think about the human experience and social issues.What I love most about Steven Spielberg, though, is how he blends wholesome family entertainment with artistry and deeper meaning. On the surface, many of his movies are just fun adventures meant to entertain kids and adults alike. But if you look closer, they usually have profound messages about friendship, courage, hope, and doing the right thing.Take E.T., for example. On one level, it's just a story about a young boy helping his alien friend get back home. But it's also about accepting those who are different, the incredible bond of friendship, and keeping one's sense of childlike wonder about the universe. Profound ideas wrapped up in an amazing, family-friendly story! That's the magic of Steven Spielberg.Watching a Steven Spielberg movie is a full experience that stimulates all your senses. Amazing imagery, larger-than-life sounds, and an musical score that perfectly matches the mood of each scene. It's like being transported to an entirely new reality for a couple of hours. That's true cinematic wizardry if you ask me!While I could keep gushing about Spielberg's talents all day, I'll wrap this up by saying he is nothing less than a master storyteller. Every movie he's made, from Jurassic Park and E.T. to Schindler's List and Lincoln, is overflowing with imagination, creativity, and most importantly, heart. He has a profound ability to construct tales that utterly captivate you while deeper meaning and emotions.Not many directors can blend blockbuster spectacle with intimate human drama as seamlessly as Steven Spielberg. His films are the perfect combination of entertainment and art. They thrill our senses while also nourishing our souls and minds. For creating cinematic experiences that inspire awe, laughter, excitement, and reflection, Steven Spielberg will forever be my favorite director.So if you've never experienced the transportive magic of a Spielberg movie before, what are you waiting for? Dim the lights,grab some popcorn, and get ready for adventures more wondrous than you can possibly imagine! Just don't be surprised if you walk out of the theater looking at the world a little differently. That's the power of truly great filmmaking to inspire us.篇3My Favorite Movie Director and Movie!Hi there! Today I want to tell you all about my favorite movie director and one of his most awesome movies. Get ready, because this is going to be epic!The director I love is Steven Spielberg. He's made so many incredible movies that I'm sure you've seen some of them. Maybe you've watched E.T., Jurassic Park, or Indiana Jones? Those are just a few of his massive hit movies. Steven Spielberg is seriously one of the best directors ever.What makes him so great? Well, first of all, he's a genius at coming up with amazing stories and characters that pull you right into the movie. His stories are always exciting, with tons of adventure, laughs, and crazy good special effects. He's the master of blockbuster thrills and chills!But his movies aren't just wildly entertaining. They also have really heartfelt messages about friendship, courage, and never giving up on your dreams. The characters he creates are so likable and easy to relate to. You can't help but feel inspired after watching one of his feel-good films.Another thing I admire about Steven Spielberg is how his movies make you think about important issues, but in a fun way that doesn't feel preachy. Take E.T for example - on one level it's an exciting sci-fi story, but it also teaches powerful lessons about acceptance, unity, and cosmic wonder.Speaking of E.T., that's probably my all-time favorite Spielberg movie (although Jurassic Park is a very close second!).E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial came out in 1982 and was an instant classic. It's a beautiful story about a young boy named Elliott who discovers and befriends a lovable alien creature that was left behind on Earth.From the very beginning, the movie sucks you in with the mysterious and spooky atmosphere as the aliens arrive. You can't take your eyes off the screen! Then when E.T. and Elliott finally meet, it's absolute magic. Their bond is so pure, innocent and touching. I'm not ashamed to admit I cried the first time I saw them become best buddies!As their friendship grows stronger, the stakes get higher and higher. The government is desperately searching for E.T., and Elliott has to find a way to get him home before it's too late. There are so many nail-biting chases and close calls. My heart was pounding during the iconic scene where E.T. and the bikes take flight across the moon. Spielberg's special effects were decades ahead of their time!Watching their courageous struggle to reunite E.T. with his spaceship, you can't help but be inspired by the unwavering power of their loyalty to each other. And when E.T. Finally utters "Stay..." with his glowing heart light? Tears, tears everywhere! Such a poignant reminder to appreciate the profound connections in our lives.Beyond being an electrifying adventure, E.T. teaches us that things we might initially perceive as strange and unknown should not be feared, but embraced with optimism and resilience. The aliens in the movie felt completely real to me, probably because a huge team of artists meticulously created the elaborate makeup, costumes and animatronics to bring them to life.There are so many reasons why E.T. is a true masterpiece of family filmmaking. Between the iconic characters, radiantstorytelling, and masterful construction of wonder and excitement, it's a movie that opens your eyes to the extraordinary possibilities of our world and the universe. Decades later, it's still as magical and relevant as ever.That's why Steven Spielberg's body of work is so legendary, and why E.T. will always be my favorite movie of his. He has an unparalleled gift for tapping into our senseHumansof awe and capturing the incredible within the ordinary. His imagination seems to have no bounds!Just thinking about the amazingly immersive worlds he's created like the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park or the harrowing events of Saving Private Ryan gives me goosebumps. Whether it's heart-stopping action, whimsical make-believe, or pausing to reflect on life's big questions, a Spielberg movie is always an epic experience.So if you haven't already, I highly recommend you watch E.T. and as many other Steven Spielberg movies as you can. Get ready to be transported to new realms of excitement and imagination. This brilliant director's movies are trulyout-of-this-world!篇4My Favorite Director: Steven SpielbergHi there! My name is Jamie, and I'm 10 years old. Today, I want to tell you about my favorite movie director, Steven Spielberg. He's made so many incredible movies that have captured my imagination and taken me on thrilling adventures!Spielberg was born in 1946 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He grew up loving movies and started making his own amateur films as a kid. Can you believe that? Even when he was young like me, he was already pursuing his passion for filmmaking! That's so cool.One of Spielberg's earliest and most famous movies is "Jaws." It's about a massive great white shark that terrorizes a small beach town. I remember watching it with my dad, and we were both on the edge of our seats! The suspense was unreal, and the shark looked so real and scary. Spielberg did an amazing job of building tension and creating a sense of dread every time that iconic music played.Another classic Spielberg film is "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial." This one is about a young boy named Elliott who befriends a lovable alien stranded on Earth. The bond between Elliott and E.T. is so heartwarming, and the movie has a perfect balance of humor, adventure, and emotion. I cried when E.T. had to gohome, but I was also happy that he and Elliott formed such a special friendship.Speaking of friendships, who could forget "Indiana Jones"? This action-packed series follows the adventures of the daring archaeologist Indiana Jones as he battles Nazis, explores ancient tombs, and uncovers legendary artifacts. Indiana Jones is played by Harrison Ford, and he's one of the coolest movie heroes ever! The stunts, the witty one-liners, and the epic score by John Williams make these movies endlessly rewatchable.One of Spielberg's more recent masterpieces is "Jurassic Park." Imagine being transported to a world where dinosaurs have been brought back to life! That's exactly what happens in this thrilling movie. From the awe-inspiring brachiosaurus to the terrifying T-Rex, the dinosaurs look so lifelike thanks to the groundbreaking special effects. Spielberg's ability to capture the sense of wonder and danger is truly unmatched.But Spielberg doesn't just make movies about sharks, aliens, and dinosaurs. He's also tackled important historical events with films like "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan." These movies are more serious and emotional, but they're just as powerful and well-made as his other works.What I love most about Steven Spielberg's movies is how they transport you to different worlds and make you feel like you're part of the adventure. Whether it's the suburbs of suburban America or a galaxy far, far away, Spielberg has a way of making these places feel alive and real.His movies are also filled with heart and often teach valuable lessons about friendship, courage, and doing the right thing. Even though some of his films are intense or scary, there's always a sense of hope and positivity shining through.Another thing that makes Spielberg's movies so special is the incredible attention to detail. From the intricate set designs to the stunning cinematography, every frame feels carefully crafted and bursting with creativity. You can tell that a lot of hard work and passion went into bringing these stories to life.I could go on and on about why Steven Spielberg is my favorite director, but I think you get the idea. His films have the power to transport, thrill, and inspire audiences of all ages. They're more than just movies; they're works of art that leave a lasting impact.So, if you haven't already, I highly recommend checking out some of Spielberg's classics like "E.T.," "Jurassic Park," and "Indiana Jones." Trust me, you're in for an unforgettableadventure! And who knows, maybe someday I'll become a famous director like him and create movies that captivate and inspire future generations.篇5My Favorite Movie Director: Steven SpielbergHave you ever watched a movie that made you feel like you were really there, living through all the exciting adventures on the screen? Or a film that had you crying tears of sadness one minute and then laughing out loud the next? Well, if you have, there's a good chance that movie was directed by the amazing Steven Spielberg!Steven Spielberg is probably the most famous and successful movie director of all time. He has made so many incredible films over his incredibly long career, which began way back in the 1970s. Some of his most popular movies include Jaws, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, and lots more. He's won tons of major awards like Oscars and Golden Globes. Pretty much every kid and grown-up has seen and loved at least one Steven Spielberg film!What makes Mr. Spielberg's movies so special is his ability to tell stories that appeal to everyone while using mind-blowingcamera tricks and visual effects that make you feel like you're really there. He has a true gift for taking ordinary people, places, and events and making them feel extraordinary on the big screen. Whether it's a fun adventure with kids and aliens, a terrifying shark attack, or an important historical event like World War II, Spielberg makes you experience it all up close with energy, excitement, and real human emotion.One of my absolute favorite Spielberg films is the classic "Raiders of the Lost Ark" from 1981. It's an action-packed adventure movie about a humble archeology professor named Indiana Jones, played by the very cool actor Harrison Ford. Indy gets caught up in a race against groups of bad guys who are searching for a legendary ancient artifact called the Ark of the Covenant, which is rumored to hold incredible supernatural powers.From the opening scene of the movie, you are thrown right into the middle of the intense action and thrills. Indy is exploring deep inside an ancient temple ruin, facing deadly booby traps and snakes (which he really hates!) in order to steal a golden fertility idol. Just when he thinks he's made it out safe, he is attacked by his brutal rival archeologists who want the idol for themselves. This first scene has everything - creepy atmosphere,surprises, humor, fist fights, and a signature Indy daring escape by using his wits, whip, and quick reflexes. Spielberg does an amazing job of grabbing your attention and planting you directly alongside Indiana Jones from minute one!The movie continues with Indy being hired by the U.S. government to locate the Ark before the Nazis can get their hands on it and use its power to make themselves invincible. This leads our hero on a globetrotting adventure from Nepal to Cairo to a Nazi archaeological dig in the desert. Everywhere Indy goes, there are incredible action set pieces that get your heart pounding - a wild fist fight with a band of brutal bandidos, a terrifying truck chase through the streets and bazaars, and an incredible climactic scene where the Ark is finally opened and Speilberg masterfully blends ancient spiritual mythology with state-of-the-art visual effects that will make you want to cover your eyes (but in a good way!).What I love most about Raiders is how it mixes intense exciting thrills with a fun spirit of adventure, lots of humor, and great characters that you can't help but love. Indiana Jones is the ultimate hero - smart, brave, good-looking in his signature fedora and leather jacket, and always ready with a witty line or idea to get himself out of trouble. You can't help but laugh at hisfunny relationship with his no-nonsense ex-girlfriend Marion, played by the gorgeous Karen Allen. The movie is filled with colorful supporting characters like Indy's fussy friend Sallah, the traitorous colleague Belloq, and a band of clever but inept Nazi villains who you love to hate. Through all the laughs and cheers, Raiders keeps you on the edge of your seat, frantically rooting for Indy to overcome every obstacle and beat the odds.But beneath all the rip-roaring adventure, there is an emotional core and deeper meaning that Steven Spielberg weaves so brilliantly into the film. At its heart, Raiders is a movie about the arrogance of man's attempt to control God-like supernatural forces that are far beyond our mortal篇6My Favorite Movie Director - Steven SpielbergHi there! My name is Tommy, and I'm 10 years old. Today, I want to tell you about my favorite movie director - Steven Spielberg. He's made some of the most amazing movies ever, and I just can't get enough of them!Who is Steven Spielberg?Steven Spielberg is an American film director, producer, and screenwriter. He was born in 1946 in Cincinnati, Ohio, and he's now 77 years old. Can you believe it? He's been making movies for over 50 years!Spielberg is considered one of the most popular and influential filmmakers of all time. He's directed some of the highest-grossing movies ever, like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Jurassic Park, and Saving Private Ryan. He's won tons of awards, including three Academy Awards (which are like the Oscars for movies).What I Love About His MoviesOkay, so why do I love Steven Spielberg's movies so much? Well, let me tell you!First of all, his movies are always so exciting and adventurous. Whether it's a group of kids trying to find an alien (E.T.), a man being chased by a giant shark (Jaws), or a whole theme park filled with dinosaurs (Jurassic Park), there's never a dull moment. His movies keep me on the edge of my seat, and I can't wait to see what happens next.Secondly, Spielberg is a master at creating amazing special effects and making things look really realistic. The dinosaurs inJurassic Park? They look so real, it's scary! And the way he filmed the battles in Saving Private Ryan makes you feel like you're right there in the middle of World War II. It's incredible!But Spielberg's movies aren't just about action and special effects. They also have a lot of heart and emotion. I always end up caring so much about the characters and feeling what they're feeling. Like in E.T., when Elliot has to say goodbye to his alien friend, it makes me cry every time. Spielberg knows how to tug at your heartstrings.My Favorite Spielberg Movie: E.T. the Extra-TerrestrialOut of all of Steven Spielberg's amazing movies, my favorite has to be E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. It's a classic from 1982, but it's still just as good today.The story is about a young boy named Elliot who discovers and befriends a friendly alien that's been stranded on Earth. Elliot and his siblings have to hide E.T. from their mom and the government scientists who are trying to capture him. Along the way, they go on all sorts of exciting adventures and form a really special bond with the alien.There are so many reasons why I love this movie. First of all, the characters are just so lovable, especially E.T. himself. He'scute, funny, and really smart, and you can't help but fall in love with him. Elliot is also a great character – he's brave, loyal, and does whatever it takes to protect his new friend.The special effects in E.T. are also incredible, especially considering the movie is over 40 years old. E.T. looks so realistic, and the way he moves and communicates is just amazing. The flying bicycle scene is one of the most iconic moments in movie history, and it still looks stunning today.But what really makes E.T. special is the emotional storytelling. The friendship between Elliot and E.T. is so pure and heartwarming, and their eventual goodbye is absolutely heartbreaking. Spielberg knows how to make you feel all the feels, and this movie is a true tear-jerker.I've probably seen E.T. a hundred times, and it never gets old. It's a perfect blend of adventure, humor, special effects, and heart. It's a movie that kids and adults can both enjoy, and it's a true classic that will be loved for generations to come.In ConclusionSo, there you have it – Steven Spielberg is my favorite movie director, and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is my favorite film of his.Spielberg is a true master of his craft, and he's given us some of the most amazing and unforgettable movies of all time.If you haven't seen E.T. or any of Spielberg's other classics, you're really missing out.

Mentally, I’m exhausted.I don’t feel I have a challenge.Physically, I feel great.The last time in 1993 I had other agendas.I felt that I wanted to play baseball and I felt that at my age,it was a good opportunity and time to do it.And with the death of my father,and I was basically trying to deal with that.Actually I talked to Jerry last year once the season endedand I told Jerry at that time, mentally,I was a little exhausted.I didn’t know if I would play next year.I wanted to put him on awareness so thathe could possibly prepare going into next season.And Jerry, once we had our conversation,wanted me to take time as I did in 93 to make sure thatit was the right decision because it was going to be the final decision.I retired the first time when Phil Jackson was the coach.And I think that even with Phil being the coachI would have had a tough time,mentally finding the challenge for myself.Although he can somehow present challenges for me,I don’t know if he could have presented the challenge for meto continue on to this season.Even though middle way of this seasonI wanted to continue to play a couple more years,but at the end of this season I was mentally drained and tired.So I can’t say that he would have restored that.I will support the Chicago Bulls.I think the game itself is a lot bigger than Michael Jordan.I’ve been given many opportunitie s by people before me,to name a few, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Doctor J, Eljohn Baylor, and Jerry West. These guys played the game long before Michael Jordan was bornand Michael Jordan came on the heels of all that activity.Mr. Stern and what he’s done f or the league,gave me an opportunity to play the game of basketball.I played it to the best I could play it;I tried to enhance the game itself.I’ve tried to be the best basketball player that I could be.Why We Like Him?Since blasting his way into the NBA in October of 2002,Houston’s main Rocket-man, Yao Ming,has been the center of attention among basketball fans worldwide.A mixture of athletic ability,raw talent and a whole lot of heighthas made Yao Ming one of the most talked-about players today.Before joining the Houston Rockets during the 2002-03 NBA season,Yao dazzled fans overseas as a ruthless shot blocker,rebound machine and leading scorer for the Shanghai Sharks.His dazzling talent displayed on the court during his stay with the Sharks earned him a spot on the Chinese men’s national team.During the 2000 Olympic summer games,Yao introduced himself to the worldby stepping up to some of today’s top NBA superstarswhile competing against the U.S. Dream Team in Australia.After serving up a couple of blocked shotsand proving to the Dream Team, and their fans worldwide,that he’s not just a Chinese giant, Yao Ming made a sizable impression.This impression was enough to land Yao a four-year,$17.8 million contract with the Houston Rockets.During his debut season in the NBA,Yao has already proven his worth in the minds of many fans worldwide.His popularity earned him enough votesto land him the starting center spot on the Western conference teamat this ye ar’s NBA All-Star game.He even beat out the almighty Shaquille O’Neal for the position.It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realizethat many ladies are attracted to professional athletes.That’s just the way the ball bounces.He’s an athlete.And athletes get the women.Especially ones who make as big an impact as Yao Ming hasduring his first NBA season.Throw in his clean-cut athletic look, charm, charisma,and a great sense of humor and you’ve got yourself a 7’5” chick magnet.If you’ve seen Yao in the latest TV commercials for Apple and Visa,you’d notice that he seems just as comfortable on screen as he is on the court. Although Yao’s lines in these ads are very minimal,due to the fact that he’s still trying to get a tight grasp of the English language, his onscreen charm is enough to make these commercials memorable.His appeal to the massive audience in Chinaand his growing popularity in the U.S. and Canada,and his potential as a product endorser and commercial phenomenonhas led many marketing experts to believethat a combination of Yao’s charisma and athletic abilitycould help market him as the next Michael Jordanor Tiger Woods of the advertising world.Of course, much of this speculation relies on the assumption thatYao continues to evolve as a superstar in the NBA.He was the No. 1 draft pick during the 2002-03 NBA seasonand has emerged as one of the Houston Rocket’s most valuable players. His instant popularity in the NBA earned him enough fan votesto claim the starting center position on the Western teamduring this year’s All-Star game.Due to his dominance as a defender and his 7’5” frame,every NBA player and their grandmother want to dunk on him.What can we say?He’s a popular guy.38Mini-Biography for Audrey HepburnAudrey Hepburn was born on May 4, 1929 in Brussels, Belgium,with the given name of Edda Kathleen van Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston.She really was blue-blood from the beginning with her father,a wealthy English banker, and her mother, a Dutch baroness.After her parents divorced,Audrey went to London with her mother where she went to a private girls school.While vacationing with her mother in Arnhem, Holland,Hitler’s army suddenly took over the town.It was here that she fell on hard times during the Nazi occupation.Audrey suffered from depression and malnutrition.After the liberation, Audrey went to a ballet school in London on a scholarship and later began a modeling career.As a model, she was graceful and, it seemed,she had found her niche in life—until the film producers came calling.She got her first speaking role in the 1951 film Laughter in Paradisewith only one line “who’d like to smoke?”Later she got another role in film Young Wives’ Tal e (1951) as Eve Lester.The part still wasn’t much, so she headed to America to try her luck there.Audrey gained immediate prominence in the US with her role in Roman Holiday in 1953.
