director research

A director is a person who directs the actors and the crew in the film and who controls and guides scenes.

Steven Allan Spielberg (born 18 December 1946) is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, video game designer, and studio entrepreneur. 

He has directed many films in his career and his movies are all different. He tried to make every movie as different as possible so the audience does not get bored of his movie, watching the same kind of scene again and again in every movie.  Spielberg won the Academy award for best director for Schindler's List 1993 and Saving Private Ryan 1998. Three of Spielberg's films Jaws 1975, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial 1982, and Jurassic Park (1993) achieved box office records, each becoming the highest-grossing film made at the time.

Spielberg's films often deal with several recurring themes. Most of his films deal with ordinary characters searching for or coming in contact with extraordinary beings or finding themselves in extraordinary circumstances. In an interview in August 2000 Spielberg commented on his interest in the possibility of extra terrestrial life and how it has influenced some of his films. Spielberg described himself as feeling like an alien during childhood, and his interest came from his father, a science fiction fan, and his opinion that aliens would not travel light years for conquest, but instead curiosity and sharing of knowledge.

He has been nominated for six Academy Awards for the category of Best Director, winning two of them Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan, and seven of the films he directed were up for the Best Picture Oscar Schindler's List won.
