This section possibly contains. Please by the claims made and adding. Statements consisting only of original research should be removed. ( April 2011) Spielberg's films often deal with several recurring themes. Most of his films deal with ordinary characters searching for or coming in contact with extraordinary beings or finding themselves in extraordinary circumstances. In an interview in August 2000 Spielberg commented on his interest in the possibility of extraterrestrial life and how it has influenced some of his films.
Spielberg described himself as feeling like an alien during childhood, and his interest came from his father, a science fiction fan, and his opinion that aliens would not travel light years for conquest, but instead curiosity and sharing of knowledge.A strong consistent in his family-friendly work is a childlike sense of wonder and faith, as attested by works such as,. According to Warren Buckland, these themes are portrayed through the use of low height camera tracking shots, which have become one of Spielberg's directing trademarks. In the cases when his films include children ( E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, etc.), this type of shot is more apparent, but it is also used in films like,. Each of his films feature this shot utilized by the director, and the water scenes in Jaws are filmed from the low-angle perspective of someone swimming. Another child oriented theme in Spielberg's films is that of loss of innocence and coming-of-age. In Empire of the Sun, Jim, a well-groomed and spoiled English youth, loses his innocence as he suffers through World War II China.
Similarly, in, Frank naively and foolishly believes that he can reclaim his shattered family if he accumulates enough money to support them.The most persistent theme throughout his films is tension in parent-child relationships. Parents (often fathers) are reluctant, absent or ignorant. Peter Banning in Hook starts off in the beginning of the film as a reluctant married-to-his-work parent who through the course of the film regains the respect of his children. The absence of Elliott's father in E.T. Is the most famous example of this theme. In, it is revealed that Indy has always had a very strained relationship with his father, who is a professor of medieval literature, as his father always seemed more interested in his work, specifically in his studies of the Holy Grail, than in his own son, although his father does not seem to realize or understand the negative effect that his aloof nature had on Indy (he even believes he was a good father in the sense that he taught his son 'self reliance,' which is not how Indy saw it).
Even, from, is reluctant to have a child with his wife. In, the main character, Celie, has been impregnated by her father multiple times. Depicts Avner as a man away from his wife and newborn daughter. There are exceptions; Brody in is a committed family man, while John Anderton in is a shattered man after the disappearance of his son.
This theme is arguably the most autobiographical aspect of Spielberg's films, since Spielberg himself was affected by his parents' divorce as a child and by the absence of his father. Furthermore, to this theme, protagonists in his films often come from families with divorced parents, including E.T.
The Extra-Terrestrial (protagonist Elliot's mother is divorced) and (Frank Abagnale's mother and father split early on in the film). Little known also is Tim in (early in the film, another secondary character mentions Tim and Lex's parents' divorce). The family often shown divided is often resolved in the ending as well. Following this theme of reluctant fathers and father figures, Tim looks to Dr. Alan Grant as a father figure. Initially, Dr. Grant is reluctant to return those paternal feelings to Tim.
However, by the end of the film, he has changed, and the kids even fall asleep with their heads on his shoulders.Most of his films are generally optimistic in nature. Though some critics accuse his films of being a little overly sentimental, Spielberg feels it is fine as long as it is disguised. He is still a highly praised director as well as being credited as one of the most influential directors of all time. The influence comes from directors.
Personal life Marriages and childrenSpielberg first met actress in 1976 at the suggestion of director, who knew he was looking for an actress to play in Close Encounters. After meeting her, Spielberg told his co-producer, 'I met a real heartbreaker last night.'

Irving wanted to be certain that whatever success she attained as an actress would be her own: 'I don't want to be known as Steven's girlfriend,' she said, and chose not to be in any of his films during those years.: 295As a result, they broke up in 1979, but remained close friends. Then in 1984 they renewed their romance, and in November 1985, they married, already having had a son, Max Samuel.

And I'm a little ashamed for him, because I loved his early work. He turned to virtuous movies. And he's become so uninteresting now.

He's less a director than he is a fucking company.'
He went on to discuss his on-set actor/director relationship with Spielberg, as well as the films they made together, 'Spielberg's sets are very different – everything has been so meticulously planned. You got to get this line out in 37 seconds.
