What is STEVEN SPIELBERG the life and work of steven spielberg about?

Steven Spielberg Is Responsible For Some Of The Most Successful Films Of All Time: Jaws, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, E.t. And The 'indiana Jones' Series. Yet For Many Years Most Critics Condescendingly Regarded Spielberg As A Child-man Incapable Of Dealing Maturely With The Complexities Of Life. The Deeper Levels Of Meaning In His Films Were Largely Ignored. This Changed With Schindler's List, His Masterpiece About A Gentile Businessman Who Saves Eleven Hundred Jews From The Holocaust. For Spielberg, The Film Was The Culmination Of A Long Struggle With His Jewish Identity - An Identity Of Which He Had Long Been Ashamed, But Now Triumphantly Embraced. Until The First Edition Of Steven Spielberg: A Biography Was Published In 1997, Much About Spielberg's Personality And The Forces That Shaped It Had Remained Enigmatic, In Large Part Because Of His Tendency To Obscure And Mythologize His Own Past. In His Astute And Perceptive Biography, Joseph Mcbride Reconciled Spielberg's Seeming Contradictions And Produced A Coherent Portrait Of The Man Who Found A Way To Transmute The Anxieties Of His Own Childhood Into Some Of The Most Emotionally Powerful And Viscerally Exciting Films Eve
