Cinema is a relatively young art form. It appeared at the beginning of the last century and began to actively develop from its second half.
It all started with the Lumiere brothers, because it was they who invented the first camera, on which they filmed a kind of movie. This unit was called "Cinema". Then there were: Charlie Chaplin, Vladimir Romashkov, Sergey Eisenstein and other people who made a huge contribution to the development of cinema.
Now there are few cinema figures who can be said with confidence that these people have made a truly significant contribution to the development of cinema. One of those who deserves such a definition, undoubtedly, is director Steven Spielberg.
About the Director
Few contemporary filmmakers can boast such vast experience working on completely different projects as Indiana Jones director Steven Spielberg has. This man has in his filmography and war films, and fantasy, and drama, and a huge number of different films.
One of the most successful projects of the director is a series of films about the adventure seeker Indiana Jones.
Beginning of the story: "Indiana Jones: In Search of the Lost Ark" (1981)
The first Indiana Jones movie was released in 1981. It is worth noting that one of the screenwriters of the film was Spielberg's good friend and director of the cult film franchise "Star Wars" - George Lucas.
The plot of the picture tells about the scientist - Dr. Jones, who receives the task to go in search of one very valuable artifact. At the same time, the main character is not informed that other people are hunting for the artifact, which can interfere very much with it.
The picture was a huge success at the box office. With a budget low enough for Hollywood at $ 18 million, she raised more than $ 380 million in the cinema, which, of course, could not but be the reason for starting filming the following parts.
The main actor of the film is Harrison Ford.
The director of "Indiana Jones" approached the filming of the film, already being an accomplished and experienced director. Therefore, the choice of actors who wanted to get this role was huge. However, now it is unlikely that anyone could imagine in the role of Dr. Jones someone other than Harrison Ford.
This person is one of the most successful and sought-after actors in Hollywood. He became famous mainly due to two film franchises: Indiana Jones (the actor plays the main character) and Star Wars, where Harrison got the role of Han Solo.
Now the actor is 74 years old, but he does not even think of ending with cinema. Harrison starred in several projects, including Steven Spielberg.
Next parts
The intervals between the films were directed by the director of Indiana Jones. The next film was released only after 3 years. The third part came out five years after the second, and the fourth was completely released only in 2008. However, the director of Indiana Jones, Stephen Spielberg, does not think to interrupt this project, and in 2019 a new part is expected, where the main role, as in previous films, will be played by Harrison Ford.
Other films of the director
During his long career in cinema, Steven Spielberg directed and produced a huge number of successful and interesting films of various genres. He made a really significant contribution to the development of cinema, discovered many previously unused techniques and means of expression in the cinema.
Particularly noteworthy are such films as Schindler’s List (a military drama about the hard life of Jews in fascist Germany), Catch Me If You Can (a story about a deft criminal based on real events), Jurassic Park and other famous films. All the director’s pictures are good and diverse in their own way, so everyone will find the film to their liking.
