The Storyteller
1 Steven Spielberg has always had one goal: to tell as many interesting stories to as many people as possible. The son of a computer scientist and a pianist, Spielberg spent his early childhood in New Jersey and then Arizona. Some of his childhood memories became the inspiration for his filmmaking.
2 Even decades later, Spielberg says he has vivid memories of his earliest years, which are the origins of some of his most successful films. He believes that E. T. is the result of the difficult years leading up to his parent’ s 1966 divorce. He commented, "It is really about a young boy who was in search of some stability in his life. "Close Encounters of the Third Kind was inspired by times when the four-year-old Steven and his father would search the skies for meteors(流星). His mother remembers, " He was scared of just about everything. When trees brushed against the house, he would jump into my bed. And that’ s just the kind of scary stuff he would put in films like Pottorgeist.
3 Spielberg was 11 when he first got his hands on his dad’ s movie camera and began shooting short flicks(电影)about flying saucers(飞碟)and World War H battles. These homemade movies gave him a way to escape his fears. From the very beginning, he had a creative imagination. With his talent for scary storytelling, he could terrify his three younger sisters. It also made it easier for him to make friendships. On Boy Scout camping trips, when night fell, young Steven became the center of attention. "Steven would start telling his ghost stories, "says Richard Y. Hoffman. Jr. , leader of Troop 294, "and everyone would suddenly get quiet so that they could all hear.
4 Spielberg moved to California with his father and went to high school there, but his grades were so bad that he barely graduated. Both UGLA and USC film schools rejected him, so he entered California State University at Long Beach because it was close to Hollywood. Spielberg was determined to make movies, and he managed to get an unpaid, non-credit internship(实习)in Hollywood. Soon he was given a contract and he dropped out of college. He never looked back.
5 Now, many years later, Spielberg is still telling stories with as much passion as when"he was a boy. Ask him where he gets his ideas, and Spielberg will shrug. "The process for me is mostly intuitive, "he says. "There are films that I feel that I need to make. And it’s for a variety of reasons, for personal reasons, or because I just want to have fun. Or maybe because the subject matter is cool, and I think that my kids will like it. "
