Steven Spielberg Impact

Who would have thought that a brilliant career in filmmaking could have originated with a modest jar of Skippy Peanut Butter smeared on a neighbor’s window in a tiny Cincinnati suburb? One might not think that such an average boyhood prank could evolve a boy into a man who would become the most financially successful film director in history. Well, that is exactly where Leah Spielberg, Steven Spielberg’s mother, would trace her son’s initial entry into becoming one of our nation’s most creative storytellers. “His badness was so original,” she recalls (Stein 3).

At a very young age of eight, David Fincher’s passion for cinema grew when he was inspired by the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969). Born in 1962 Denver, Colorado, David Fincher moved to Ashland, Oregon in his teens, where he graduated from Ashland High School. During high school, he directed plays, designed sets, and managed lighting after school. One summer, he and a friend attended the Berkley Film Institute’s summer program, where he hoped to learn film as a true art form but instead was taught the technical production. Either way he was happy to engage is this and as his early film industry career started, he was a production assistant at his local television news station. Years went by as he directed propaganda films followed by becoming a well-known music director until his first movie feature debut Aliens 3 in 1992. However, the American director David Fincher didn’t become a modern 21st century visionary until his creation of the film Se7en (1995). The huge success from this film started Fincher’s popularity in the film industry. From there he continued to make ironic movies we know today such as: Fight Club (1999), Zodiac (2007), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), The Social Network (2010), Gone Girl, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

All though it was very dry at times, and could easily be classified as a uninteresting political movie about America’s most important historical moments, I enjoyed the film overall. Instead of focusing the movie on the life of Abraham Lincoln, it does focus on his passionate leadership in the final four months of his presidency. I soon began to sweat and clench my fists as the month of January continued in the movie, time crunching down and down as the Republican agents tried to gain more and more Democratic favor on the passing of the amendment. It felt like a fast-paced, parkour chase. I felt Lincoln wasn’t completely politically minded, constantly telling stories to many men and women who he comes in contact with, seeming humble and wise, always trying to give perspective with the moral of the story.

Spielberg’s unique childhood lifestyle was the driving force of his unprecedented views towards society and the film industry. Born into a large Orthodox Jewish family in Cincinnati,

I am a sap for movies and television shows that involve action and science fiction. This started when I was seven years old when I was shown my first episode of Star Trek, “The Trouble with Tribbles”, which quickly led to me seeing all of Star Trek, Star Wars, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. These movies have shaped who I am and have instilled in me an instant fondness for anyone who pays homage to any of these selections. J. J. Abrams is becoming an idol for bringing both Star Wars and Star Trek to this century. When I saw this film I was stunned by its beauty and imagination, yet they are not perfect. This leads me to a definite conclusion. Although J. J. Abrams has been in every position around the directing chair whether it be producing,

I am not a big fan of history movies; I didn’t watch the movie Lincoln when the teacher played it in class. I had to play it at home and pay close attention to be able to write a review about it. I ended up watching it twice for about five hours, and I don’t regret it at all; First, I watched it with a friend of mine and second time on my own; several incidents grabbed my attention. The movie was a significant history drama that narrates some major events in the history of the United States of America. In January 1865, the immensely popular president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln played by Daniel day-Lewis, commenced his second term in office as the war was entering its fourth year. Mr. Lincoln was concerned about the lives that were wasted on both sides and about slavery. Lincoln lost a son named Willie in the beginning of the war.

His mission was very difficult and required a lot of convincing. The movie begins by showing a dream seen by the president about the amendment, until the amendment was actually approved by the House of
