    "they asked Steven to take a picture of their camper leaving the driveway. Steven stretched out on his stomach and aimed the camera at the hubcap. As his parents wondered what he was doing, Steven pulled back so that the spinning hubcap turned into the whole camper. Instinctively, Steven had created the connection between the wheel in motion and the start of the trip. He had applied the tool most necessary to a film director-perspective-and he had used it in a unique wat. As her grew up, his perspective became Steven's trademark." (p 14)

    "... Spielberg used a newly invented Panaflex 35mm camera. This allowed him to create 360 degree panning shots of the chase"(p 40)

    Steven Spielberg is a naturally talented director who basically makes his movies using something crucial to the making of movies which is perspective. At that moment, he used his perspective to take that shot of the camper leaving the driveway.

    "Steven Spielberg was born on December 18th, 1946. All four of Arnold and Leah's parents were Jewish immigrants who had fled turn of the century persecution in Poland and Austria. In Junior highschool, he remembers being the 'weird, skinny kid with acne'. He threw up in biology class while dissecting a frog (This experience later became the basis for a scene in ET)" (p. 18, 19, 20)

    "He sneaked onto a sound stage where a TV film was being shot. He signed a seven year contract with Universal Studios" (p. 30, 31, 32, 33)

    "The anti semitic teenagers acted in gangs, and Steven was only one Jew with no way to fight back. ... he bided his time until the day when he would have the power to fight bigotry" (p 28)

    "Schindler's list wins 8 Oscars including best picture and best director" (p 115)

    Steven's Background says a lot about him and is the main influence for almost all his movies. He used his experiences and put them on the big screen. His Jewish background also gave him power to make Schindler's list which won many awards.
