Abstract
In this paper, the author compares Steven Spielberg's films "Saving Private Ryan" and "Munich." The basis for the comparison is Spielberg's personal cinematic style as a director. Spielberg is able to integrate the visual setting in both films as realistic, but not necessarily for sheer visual impact. Instead, he lets the scene tell the story. Additionally, the conclusions of both films allowed the viewer to resolve the themes of the movies themselves, another trademark of Spielberg.

From the Paper
" It was easier to immediately reject Saving Private Ryan because of its category than it was to reject Munich. At least Munich was interesting. Upon hearing the titles of both films, Munich (at least in this reviewer's case) was far more intriguing than Private Ryan. This critic's automatic rejection scenario was immediately initiated upon hearing of Private Ryan, while being intrigued by hearing of Munich."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts Thomas Keneally's book, "Schindler's Ark", with Steven Spielberg's film, "Schindler's List", which Spielberg based on Keneally's book. The paper looks at the differences in how Schindler is portrayed in the novel and how he is portrayed in the film, and the details about Schindler that are included in Keneally's book, but omitted in Spielberg's film. The paper also comments on Spielberg's ability to effectively depict the horrific treatment of the Jews by the Nazis.

From the Paper
"Perhaps no other movie in recent history has had such an effect on the American public and the citizens of the world than Steven Spielberg's "Schindler's List." Based on Thomas Keneally's book, "Schindler's Ark," the movie was hailed by most critics as a masterpiece of cinematography. It was also praised as being an important and crucial link to the untold stories of the survivors of Nazi concentration camps during World War II. Through the years the movie has been studied in classrooms across the world and has become the centerpiece for museums dedicated to the camps' victims and survivors. However, one could argue that, among other differences, Spielberg's movie over-dramatized Oskar Schindler, compared to the Keneally's portrayal of the man."

Abstract
This paper explains that not only are there actual symbols present in Steven Spielberg's "Indiana Jones" trilogy, especially "Raiders of the Lost Ark", such as Indiana's most feared enemy, the snake, but also the movies themselves serve as a symbol of American pop through the Hollywood's glorification and stylization. The author points out the symbolism in the main character Indiana Jones, played by Harrison Ford, who is a young, powerful educated man, coming from a civilized background with a catchy nickname "Indy", which all heroes must, and dressed in his classic American archaeologist attire of leather jacket and bullwhip. The paper concludes that the Indiana Jones trilogy continues to be an incredible success because it is so easy for the American population to relate to Indy, a hero who never failed, and because it reflects American pop culture of adventure, power and heroism.

From the Paper
"It is very possible for even one trailer that is a mere one minute and fifty seconds long, to encompass so many different symbols, that have significance all throughout the movie. The clip that portrays the most symbolism in the shortest amount of time is definitely the part of the movie when Indiana Jones finds himself fighting a town full of Arabs in the middle of a marketplace in Cairo, all in order to rescue Marion. First and foremost, this entire sequence is filmed to fully capture the role of having a damsel in distress, as Indy is fighting in attempt to save Marion. Secondly, a very apparent form of symbolism appears in the background of the shot, where the entire marketplace is full of Arabs who are all wearing turbans and sandals, a very stereotypical image of the people of the eastern culture living in that region. The most noticeable glorification of the American culture becomes very evident when Indy is facing a large Arab man with a sword, who is prepared to fight him."

From the Paper
"Steven Spielberg is arguably the most financially-successful film director in history, having directed several of the highest-grossing films in history--Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, Raiders of the Lost Ark (and its sequels), and now Jurassic Park, quickly on its way to becoming the number one box office grosser of all time. His success as a moneymaker has not always been greeted with critical acclaim, and there may indeed be some tendency on the part of critics to overcompensate for Spielberg's success with barbs at some of his films. His supporters think this is the case, and they also feel that the Hollywood community has joined in that effort. They point to the fact that The color Purple, directed by Spielberg in 1985, won eleven Oscar nominations, but not one for the director. Actor-director Clint Eastwood has speculated that..."

Abstract
Paper introduces differences in the plot presented in Steven Spielberg's film (1985) as compared to Alice Walker's novel (1982) as in Spielberg's omission of lesbianism, then an important topic of activism in the U.S. Harsher criticism came from allegations that Spielberg presented African-American males in a racist manner; indeed, Walker was also criticised for her male characters. Reference to several articles, explanation of what Walker/Spielberg described of early 20th century rural Georgia and how criticism often pertains to topical issues more than the art in question.

Abstract
This paper provides an essay on Steven Spielberg's beloved "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial." The essay discusses how the film affirms the argument that Spielberg's films offer "assurance" and thus promote conservative values in American society.

From the Paper
"In the Lucas-Spielberg syndrome essay, it is argued that the films of these two directors provide reassurance and thus promulgate conservative values. If we look at Steven Spielberg's "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" hereafter E.T., we readily see the validity in such a statement, for E.T. provides great assurance in favor of conservative values across three dimensions. First, it provides assurance that divorce does not mean children are at fault. Second, it provides assurance that the struggles and challenges of adolescence can be..."

Abstract
This paper explains that Sigmund Freud in his 1919 essay "The Uncanny" examined the different meanings of the term 'uncanny'. To understand how familiar things can become frightening, Freud examined the usage of the term 'uncanny' in various languages, which the author presents in this paper. The author points out that, as Freud indicated, the fear of the 'double' can produce an uncanny feeling, which is portrayed in Spielberg's movie, "Artificial Intelligence" (A.I.). The paper concludes that Freud's essay was interesting but confusing; however, Spielberg's "Artificial Intelligence" is a must watch movie.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"The theme of the 'double' by Otto Rank has also been discussed in Freud's essay. The 'double' relates to the mirror reflection, shadow, spirits, and fear of death. "The double was originally an insurance against the destruction of the ego" (Freud, 2003). According to Freud, the uncanny can be produced by the 'double', as the 'double' has become a factor of terror. For instance, when we look at ourselves in the mirror, we may not see ourselves as being what we are, but as something else, which may be negative, and this is derived from our conscience."

Abstract
This paper explains that the films "Jaws" (1975), by Steven Spielberg, and "Deep Blue Sea", (1999) by Renny Harlin, reveal similar films, but with different twists within the action/thriller shark movie category. In regards to the technology used in Spielberg's 1975 masterpiece, it appears that less was more in creating a monster that brought terror to the American population.

From the Paper
"This formal film analysis will examine the comparison and contrast between the two films: "Jaws", (1975 by Steven Spielberg, and "Deep Blue Sea", (1999) by Renny Harlin. In this manner, the narrative structure of the film closely follows the dictates of dramatic representation in how human beings survive against sharks. The fury of nature and social hysteria becomes the critical focal point in both of these films, as the terrifying darkness of what may lurk in the oceans is brought forth."

Abstract
This paper relates that Steven Spielberg's "Schindler's List" was made superbly, using techniques that enhanced the impact of a powerful storyline. The author points out that the cinematography, the unique camera work, sharp angles, and black-and-white filming contributed to the success of this brilliant film. This paper explains that John Singleton's "Rosewood", another movie that captures the horrors of racial violence, is not as superbly made as Spielberg's film; nonetheless, it does full justice to the issue of violence, especially lynching.

From the Paper
"Based on true events that took place in 1920s, the movie was hailed for its realistic depiction of violence; but it failed to win accolades at the box office because of its not so powerful cinematography and less than unique film techniques. Unlike "Schindler's List" where everything contributed to make the movie successful, the same things did not serve the right purpose in "Rosewood". Singleton's camera work effectively captured fear and terror of racial violence, but it did nothing to accentuate the impact of important scenes. Unique camera work and exceptional editing skills were required to add excitement to an otherwise cliched issue. However, neither Singleton's direction nor Gregory Piorer's script could lift the film to the status of "Schindler's List". In the opening scenes, for example, the contrasts between white and black towns are almost too obvious and are given elementary treatment."
