Steven Spielberg: A Retrospective Hardcover – October 2, 2012

Beautiful book with a lot of fascinating information about Spielberg himself and his films

I bought this book for a friend who is also a movie buff, and I had a hard time wrapping it up as I was enjoying paging through it myself! It would make a great book to have out on the coffee table, as it is a decent size for displaying, and that size also makes it easy to read and provides opportunity for large photos.If you're at all interested in movies and Steven Spielberg in particular, this book is well worth buying.

Really like it!!!!!!!

An excellent read that is less bio and more a study or retrospective of one of cinema's greatest auteurs. Insightful and eloquently written. Was particularly fascinated with the author's thoughts on A.I. after revisiting it for this book. Nice to see that he now realizes it's a masterpiece that has yet to be discovered. Worth buying to anyone who is a Spielberg fan or a true cinema lover.

Wow, what a great book. My son in law is just getting into film making and this was a perfect gift. I absolutely detest the over-used word "awsome".......how's you're lipstick?...."awsome", how's your hamburger?....awsome, etc. The Mona Lisa is awsome, the pyramids are awsome, Michaelangelo's David is awsome....and....this book is awsome!

My 13 yo daughter who loves acting asked for this book. She is really enjoying it. It is interesting to see all he has been involved in.

one of the most inspiring books to read. i keep dreaming big overtime i go through all the great works this legend has done. the pictures reveal his simplicity, creativity, and philosophies. this is a book you will never want to sell afterwards.

I have many, many books on the films of various stars and directors and this new pictorial history of the films of Spielberg is a great addition to my collection. A masterful film maker, this book explores all of his films up to and including "Lincoln". Worthwhile having.

I didn't know too much about him, but I really learned a lot and understand why everyone in films will says ''Steven Spielberg'' ''Steven Spielberg'' ''Steven Spielberg'' LOLOL

First thing to say: It is not a memoir, as Spielberg himself points out in his foreword, but a filmic revision in the context of a lifetime.As a fan, which is the average buyer, you will still be left with a sense of something being missing that gives all that career a congruency from the inside out. He says not to feel brave enough to open himself so much to the public, and if he does we will all have a rare opportunity to get to know much better such an icon.You will enjoy it, it is a large format book absolutely worth the price that you will love to read.

Vous aimez Spielberg?Voici le livre qu`il vous faut.Tout y est : on y parle de ses films ( de Duel à Lincoln ) à travers des entrevues et un coté biographique.Le livre est bien écrit et contient beaucoup d`images.Intéressant.

Bought this for my brother, which is a movie fanatic. He loved it. It had big colourful pictures of the behind the scenes of his movies. Perfect condition.

Great book for Speilberg fans.
