As a legendary director, producer, and screenwriter, Steven Allan Spielberg has been the most dominant figure in Hollywood for the last 30 years. He is a three-time Academy Award winner and is the highest Box office grossing filmmaker of all time with his films making nearly $8 billion internationally. Forbes Magazine places Spielberg’s net worth at $3 billion. In 2006, Premiere listed him as the most powerful and influential figure in the motion picture industry, whereby TIME named him in the ’100 Greatest People of the Century’. At the end of the 20th century LIFE named him the most influential person of his generation.
In a long and fruitful career of about 35 years thus far, Spielberg’s films have touched multifaceted themes and genres. During the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, three of his films, Jaws, E.T., and Jurassic Park became the highest grossing films for their time. During his early years as a director, He wooed the audience with his science-fiction and adventure films which are often considered as the model and symbol of modern Hollywood large scale Film Making. Whereby, later on he bowled over Film Critics with portrayal of struggle and strength of human spirit through canvas of topics like War, Loss, Holocaust, Apartheid and Terrorism. Thus, if film making is war, then Steven Spielberg is its most decorated general.
Life Magazine garnished praise on him as follows “He’s our Homer and our Hans Christian Andersen, an epic fairy-tale-maker with a Midas touch.”
His films, from E.T. to Schindler’s List, show us that the human spirit is alive in the most unlikely places–in a creature from outer space or a Nazi concentration camp. His heroes, fueled by a curiosity bigger than they are (think of Richard Dreyfuss trying to find celestial significance in a pile of mashed potatoes), charm us into opening our hearts and our wallets. Four of the 10 top-grossing movies of all time–E.T., Jurassic Park, Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark–were directed by this film-school reject.
A self-described Peter Pan, he lives every boomer’s secret dream: He never has to wear a tie. He success is unique in the sense that it has ensured that he is popular among every generation and has appeal with every section of society, thus no wonder he is the best performing Film director in Box office history and one of Hollywood’s richest celebrities.
