Biography: The most commercially successful filmmaker in Hollywood history, Steven Spielberg was born December 18, 1946, in Cincinnati. In a career of more than four decades, Spielberg's films have covered many themes and genres. Spielberg's early science-fiction and adventure films were seen as archetypes of modern Hollywood blockbuster filmmaking. In later years, his films began addressing such issues as the Holocaust, slavery, war and terrorism. He is considered one of the most popular and influential filmmakers in the history of cinema. He is also one of the co-founders of DreamWorks movie studio. Marriages and children From 1985 to 1989 Spielberg was married to actress Amy Irving. In their 1989 divorce settlement, she received $100 million from Spielberg after a judge controversially vacated a prenuptial agreement written on a napkin. Spielberg subsequently developed a relationship with actress Kate Capshaw, whom he met when he cast her in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. They married on October 12, 1991. Capshaw is a convert to Judaism. There are seven children in the Spielberg-Capshaw family: Jessica Capshaw (born August 9, 1976) – daughter from Kate Capshaw's previous marriage to Robert Capshaw; Max Samuel Spielberg (born June 13, 1985) – son from Spielberg's previous marriage to actress Amy Irving; Theo Spielberg (born 1988) – son adopted by Capshaw before her marriage to Spielberg, who later also adopted him; Sasha Rebecca Spielberg (born May 14, 1990, Los Angeles); Sawyer Avery Spielberg (born March 10, 1992, Los Angeles) ; Mikaela George (born February 28, 1996) – adopted with Kate Capshaw; Destry Allyn Spielberg (born December 1, 1996). Spielberg's most important contribution to modern movies: There was an enormous audience to be created if old-style B-movie stories were made with A-level craftsmanship and enhanced with the latest developments in special effects. In Spielberg, the light source conceals mystery, where for many other directors it is darkness that conceals mystery. The difference is that for Spielberg, mystery offers promise instead of threat.

Reviews (Drama)

1. "Saving Private Ryan". It is very hard to describe my feelings after watching this legendary and one of the strongest film directed by Steven Spielberg. This is great American drama about great American war. I do not think that the director tried to exaggerate the importance of American role in the WWII he only told us the story of 8 soldiers who were sent to save an ordinary private. We could see real emotions, courage and horrors of war. Spielberg showed us how people were changing during the war, starting life with different main aims and desires. They had to change or they would not survive. I would like to say thanks to Steven Spielberg who gave us a chance to think about terrible war once more.
2. "Artificial Intelligence: AI". In my opinion, this film is a very unusual and interesting one. We could see the picture of our future: the big part of the land was under the ocean, people lived in the megalopolises and technology reached unbelievable progress. The main character David appeared among a large number of robots. He had a human soul and kind heart. He wanted only one thing – become a real boy and then his mother will love him as her human son. During the boy’s attempts to change I felt sad because of the possible dramatic finale in which the boy would not be able to become real man. And the end of this story only strengthened impression of this film. Steven Spielberg filmed the remarkable, touching movie which I really loved. 
3. "Catch Me If You Can". This is a biographical film about talented speculator Frank Abagnale. Steven Spielberg told us the story of Frank’s life with a lot of interesting, exciting moments. His life is a constant pursuit and an attempt to be in advance an experiment FBI agent. You should see this film to feel speed of Frank’s life. To my mind, “Catch Me If You Can” has a very interesting, fascinating theme, good music and perfect actors. I should say thanks to Steven Spielberg for this film!
