No one captures the complicated feeling of growing up like Steven Spielberg.
Some filmmakers make their distinctive artistic voices known through narrative themes and motifs that stand out among even the most prolific bodies of work. No exception to this tendency is the world's most recognizable filmmaker, Steven Spielberg.
Jim Graham in 'Empire of the Sun' Empire of the Sun saw Spielberg in relatively rare form as the filmmaker began to consciously veer from the more escapist and sentimental material he'd been previously known for, and instead pursued subject matter that reflected some of the more bitter and tragic elements of the human condition. In stark contrast to the children of E.T. and their experience is that of Jim in the 1987 film. Based on J.G.
Peter Banning in 'Hook' Antithetical to Jim's experience is Peter's in Hook. Even though Peter is an adult, the idea of framing youth and innocence as lost qualities worthy of rediscovery is at the heart of the 1991 film. Having grown up and forgotten his childhood experiences as the iconic Peter Pan in Neverland, Peter has become a workaholic lawyer and has lost touch with his children.
Aside from this aspect of his journey, part of what makes Frank's adventure utterly watchable is his ability to manipulate the adults surrounding him. A precocious youngster using irresistible charm as the ultimate currency, he's able to convince people that he is who and what he claims to be.
