STEVEN SPIELBERG
Steven Allan Spielberg was born in 1946 in USA. Director, producer, and screenwriter, he is considered one of the founding pioneers of the New Hollywood era, as well as being viewed as one of the most popular directors and producers in film history. He is also one of the co-founders of DreamWorks Studios. In a career spanning more than four decades, Spielberg's films have spanned many themes and genres. Spielberg's early science-fiction and adventure films, such as JAWS (1975), CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (1977), RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (1981), and E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL (1982), were seen as archetypes of modern Hollywood escapist filmmaking. In later years, his films began addressing numerous humanistic issues such as the Holocaust (SCHINDLER'S LIST, 1993), the transatlantic slave trade (AMISTAD, 1997), civil rights (THE COLOUR PURPLE, 1985), war (SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, 1998), and terrorism (MUNICH, 2005). Three of Spielberg's films - JAWS, E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL, and JURASSIC PARK - achieved box office records, originated and came to epitomize the blockbuster film. The unadjusted gross of all Spielberg-directed films exceeds $9 billion worldwide, making him the highest-grossing director in history. He is also known for his long-standing associations with several actors, producers, and technicians, most notably composer John Williams. His most recent films are: THE POST (2017) and READY PLAYER ONE (2018).
