After watching the documentary, I thought of Cameron, who was sent to students every year by me as text material. It feels that their life trajectories seem to be the same.
It is the obsession and awe of a certain movie that makes them discover their own direction in life. Cameron liked "2001 A Space Odyssey" and Spielberg liked "Lawrence of Arabia", and then they both fell in love with the film business and embarked on the journey of film life firmly. And they all worked in the studio and learned their skills. Cameron is doing special effects, and found his own independent style from it. And Spielberg relied on visiting Hollywood, then hiding in the toilet, hiding in Hollywood many times, one of which lasted several months. As a result, he saw all aspects of the movie, pretended to be acquaintances, asked a lot of questions, and learned a lot. As a bystander, he may see more clearly. In addition, we can also find that Spielberg, like Wong Kar-wai, does not have a script and of course did not prepare any shots (but the disadvantage of this is that it can only shoot stories with simple plots, such as "Jurassic Park") . In his words: He wants to create a "sense of oppression" so that it can work miracles. It's like a temporary play, and then you will find that you can force yourself to find the best angle and the best way to express in the shortest time. In other words, it truly puts the director in the highest state, beyond the screenwriter and beyond the actors. I understand this very well, because I also enjoy this kind of teaching the most. I have taught textbooks for many years. Not only do I no longer prepare lessons, nor read texts. Of course, I don’t think about anything before class. But when facing the students, Gurulu will not only ensure that the knowledge that should be taught, but also can always tell some new things in the class.
Of course, from Spielberg's "lifetime achievements", we can not only comprehend these.
The most important thing is that I found a truth, everyone has a desire to express, and always try to express themselves. By understanding this, you can understand everything about Spielberg.
The first is Spielberg's horror film, where did it come from. His own explanation is "the trees outside the window of childhood". We have all been children, and we all understand the childhood fear of the huge reality of the world, especially when the parents are not around, especially in the dark night. Little Spielberg was lying on the bed in the room alone. A window could be seen from the bed, and there was a big tree with teeth and claws outside. What a heart-to-heart experience such an experience. Spielberg quickly found a way to transfer the fear to his sisters (human nature is so bad). Because of constant pondering and constant research, he can always scare his sister. So his movie "Jaws" scared us, even "Alien ET" he has to scare us. Because the memory of fear is the deepest, he created the miracle of the movie. In fact, he just conveyed, spread, and expanded the horror accumulated in his heart since childhood.
Spielberg is a poor child. The most important part of his life experience is the divorce of his parents. The mother fell in love with others and divorced her father. No child wants his parents to leave, because in this way he loses more than half. Therefore, his heart is full of illusions, and he has been thinking about "Parents Reunion" all the time. After all, when I was a child, it was just a fantasy, but when there were more fantasy, it was a story. As Spielberg said to himself, there are families in his films, both scattered and reunited. In the words of his partner: "His works have a deep belief that what is lost will come back in a certain way." In the same way, this kind of sentiment is also the "gathering and dispersing too hurriedly" that each of us can feel, because "there is no permanent banquet in the world." Therefore, we all have this dream: "Farewell to Reunion". So Spielberg resonated with us so often. Even if he showed us combat movies, fairy tales, horror movies...
Whether it is personal, family, or national, human beings are expressing their own feelings. Spielberg's most classic is "Schindler's List". This is the movie he won the respect of filmmakers after making many commercial films. It was also a leap for him. However, the most subtle thing we have seen is that Spielberg is a Jew. He is telling the tragic story of his own nation, so he himself is immersed in the scene and his heart is on the scene. Therefore, he adopted a new way of shooting, letting the audience become a prisoner, being in it, and seeing everything around him with his own eyes.
Therefore, Spielberg tells us that as a kind of art, the essence of film is expression, and expression is something deep in one's heart because of the commonality of human nature. Demonstrating the common humanity naturally arouses eternal resonance, and naturally creates a classic and a legend. 18.5.25
