Births on December 18
Steven Spielberg is the most intriguing to me because he has directed most of my favourite movies I watch today. Steven Allen Spielberg was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on December 18th, 1946. At the age of twelve he began to show an interest in filmmaking, shooting his own 8mm shots. His World War II film “Escape from Nowhere” won him first prize in a state amateur filmmaking contest. With the prize money he would fund his first full length film, a sci-fi project he called Firelight.Spielberg moved with his father to California’s Silicon Valley where he would graduate from Saratoga High School. The summer vacations before and after graduation would be spent in Los Angeles serving an internship at Universal Studios. During these seven years Spielberg would direct episodes of “Night Gallery”, “Marcus Welby, M.D.”, and “Columbo” and made-for-TV movies like Something Evil and Savage. His first real critical recognition would come from his adaptation of Richard Matheson’s “Duel” for ABC’s “movie of the week” series.
Spielberg's first greatest hit "Jaws" would become the first “summer blockbuster” and the highest grossing film of all time. Spielberg continued his winning streak into the eighties with movies like "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "E.T. the Extra Terrestrial". He also established himself as an executive producer by lending his hand to movies such as the Back to the Future trilogy. Spielberg blew critics and audiences away in 1993 with both "Jurassic Park" and "Schindler’s List".He continues his domination in the filmmaking community still to this day.
I have many favourite activities, but i would say that my favourite activity would have to be kicking back and watching a movie. The best time to watch a movie is right after school when you finish your homework, take a nice long shower and enjoy an action packed adventure movie created by Steven Spielberg. I also like going up to my cottage every weekend and just relax. During the summer I go fishing, boating and kneeboarding. During the winter I go snowmobiling. My cottage is a truely fun place and it's the place for me.
