Oscar-winning 67-year-old Steven Spielberg is considered the most successful filmmaker of our time. Almost all feature films, short and full-length films produced by Spielberg have become iconic.
Perhaps all of Steven Spielberg's films have collected the largest box office receipts in the history of the film industry. Among them are Jaws, Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds, and other films.
An ambitious young filmmaker, Steven Spielberg, at the age of 27, directed the film Jaws. The film immediately became a classic of modern cinema and, for the first time in the history of the art industry, grossed $ 100 million. The box office and worldwide release immediately brought unprecedented success to Spielberg.
No wonder they say that a talented person is talented in everything. Spielberg's filmography includes films of various genres: from novel to fantasy.
Cinematic novel
The next successful film is the cinematic novel "Indiana Jones". The collective image of the main character, invented by the director, has absorbed the characters of several historical figures and has a real prototype under it. The audience loved the film so much that 4 parts of this movie were filmed. True, the first part of the epic movie turned out to be the most successful.
Trilogy
Even more successful was the art trilogy Jurassic Park, filmed by Spielberg. The first part of the trilogy was released in 1997 and immediately broke the record for the box office. Only James Cameron's Titanic managed to overtake the film in terms of box office and success. Films about dinosaurs, as well as about the salvation of mankind, have always attracted people, so the director made the right bet on the popularity of the picture.
Dramas
The war drama "Schindler's List" is based on hard facts. This film earned Spielberg his first Oscar. The film tells the true story of a German entrepreneur named Oskar Schindler, who during World War II rescued Jewish workers who worked in his factory. Black and white tape has the most expensive budget, according to critics. It is also known that the director refused the royalties for this film, considering the cash receipts for it dirty.
Steven Spielberg received his second Academy Award for Saving Private Ryan. In the film, a group of American servicemen, at their own peril and risk, is sent to the rescue of their comrade right behind enemy lines. The war drama brought the master even more popularity. The tape was included in the gold list of the best films by Steven Spielberg.
Also successful films of the director are "Captain Hook" and "Poltergeist".
Fantasy
Spielberg is one of the few directors who managed to simply transfer literary text to the screen to the point of genius. He filmed the novel by H. G. Wells "War of the Worlds", changing only the time of action, but retaining the inner tension and poetics of the novelist. The painting paid off more than 5 times, despite (or thanks to) the huge sums that were spent on the scenery (tourists are still being driven there) and special effects.
