Influences
Alfred
Hitchcock

FIG 9
“In this respect Spielberg recalls
Hitchcock, as he does also in his
insistence on the emotional rather
than the intellectual power of film
and the responsibility of the film
maker to fill the screen with imagery
so exciting that it transports the
audience out of their normal lives”

“When he saw the short, Spielberg, “Was
jealous to the very marrow of my bones. I was
eighteen (actually twenty) years old and had
directed fifteen short films by that time, and
this little movie was better than all of my little
movies combined. No longer were John Ford,
Walt Disney, Frank Capra, Frederico Fellini,
David Leon, Alfred Hitchcock or Michael Curtiz
my role models”

satisfied.
• Appealing to a mass audience.

FIG 27: Spielberg and Lucas

“I think the effect Steven and I have had on the business is to help
promote the independent art film.”
“That’s the thing the New York critics don’t want to acknowledge. They
think the films today are worse than they’ve ever been. Personally, I
think they are better than they’ve ever been.” (Jack Matthew’s interview,
George Lucas Quote. Kline. 1999: 229).
FIG 28: Peter Jackson FIG 29: Jurassic Park

“Seeing the digital dinosaurs in Spielberg’s Jurassic Park in 1993 made


as dramatic an impression on Peter Jackson as his first encounter with
the stop-motion monsters created by Willis O’Brien, sixty years earlier,
for King Kong”. (Sibley, 2006:257).
