 百變好萊塢導演：史蒂芬•史匹柏 |
| |
While some filmmakers create thought-provoking works of art, others create action-packed blockbusters. Then there's Steven Spielberg, who fits somewhere in between. Spielberg's films don't belong to just one genre. He's made serious films about historical events (as in Saving Private Ryan) as well as some that follow science-fiction themes (as in E.T. and Jurassic Park).

Perhaps the reason he creates such diverse films is that his inspiration for making them comes from being more than just a successful movie director and producer. So, who is this man behind the camera?
Family Man
Spielberg's home life tops his list of priorities. In fact, he takes his family's interests into consideration when choosing his projects. He has seven children and has admitted that they are the reason behind his cartoon show Animaniacs.
Businessperson
In addition to making movies, Spielberg is involved with television shows and video game development. He even cofounded two businesses: the production company Amblin Entertainment and the entertainment group DreamWorks SKG.
Philanthropist
Spielberg is devoted to special causes. After making Schindler's List, which tells the true story of a Nazi businessman, he founded the Shoah Foundation. This organization interviews Holocaust survivors and records their stories for future generations.
Filmmaker
Spielberg has a unique influence on the film industry. Years ago, he was the first to introduce the idea of a summer blockbuster with his film Jaws. Today, with the box office success of films like Schindler's List, Spielberg proves to Hollywood that it's possible for movies to both make money and raise awareness of social issues.

有些導演專拍發人深省的電影，有些則偏愛常成為票房保證的動作鉅片。而史蒂芬•史匹柏的影片風格，走的卻是中庸路線。他的電影不單只屬於某種特定的類型，除了有嚴肅的歷史事件〔如《搶救雷恩大兵》（Saving Private Ryan）〕，還有科幻片〔如《E.T.外星人》（E.T.）和《侏儸紀公園》（Jurassic Park）〕
能拍攝出如此多樣化的電影，也許是因為史蒂芬•史匹柏的靈感來源，不僅僅是為了當上成功的導演或是製作人。那麼，在攝影機後面的這個男人，到底是怎樣的呢？
愛家好男人
史蒂芬•史匹柏把家庭放在第一位。事實上，他在籌拍電影主題時，都會將家人的興趣列入考慮。擁有七個子女的他，坦承「《瘋狂調皮貓》」（Animaniacs）這部卡通就是為了他的子女而拍攝。
企業家
除了電影之外，史蒂芬•史匹柏還擔任了電視劇和電影動畫的製片，他甚至還參與了兩家公司的創立：「安培林娛樂公司」（Amblin Entertainment）和「夢工廠」（DreamWorks SKG）。
慈善家
史匹柏致力於某些特殊的理念。在拍完《辛德勒的名單》（Schindler’s List）這部講述納粹商人的真實故事之後，他創立了猶太大屠殺紀念基金會（Shoah Foundation），此機構訪問了大屠殺的倖存者，將他們的故事記錄下來，留給後人參考。
電影製作人
史匹柏對電影業具有獨特的影響力。數年前，他是首位以電影《大白鯊》（Jaws）作為暑期強檔鉅片開場的人。如今，像《辛德勒的名單》這類片型所創下的票房佳績，更足以向好萊塢證明，電影是能夠同時兼具賺錢，與喚起大眾關注社會時事的。
