Have you ever (1) ___________ of Steven
Spielberg? Of course you have. He’s probably the
most famous film director in the world. He’s
made hit films like E.T., Jaws, Raiders of the Lost
Ark, Jurassic Park, Schindler’s List. But do you
know the secret of his success?

more interested in the camera than a good story.
But his best films have the power to touch our
feelings and make us hope. For instance, in the
Indiana Jones films the professor always
manages to save the day and in the Jurassic Park
series the good guys survive against all odds. On
a more serious level, in Saving Private Ryan and
Schindler’s List he deals with the subject of war
realistically but enables a ray of hope to shine
through. He is a great director and there is no
