Style: The Directorial Style of Steven Spielberg / Stíl: Stíl Stiúrthóra Steven Spielberg 


Steven Spielberg followed his debut feature, The Sugarland Express, with this groundbreaking thriller, which went onto define the blockbuster and the concept of the tentpole summer release. Adapted from Peter Benchley’s novel, Spielberg demonstrated his skill in building tension and suspense through the now famous score, and skilful edits. The real beach locations added to the film’s realism, with a focus on characters reactions of terror and awe revealed through fluid camera movement, while the slow reveal of the shark simply compound the tension. Vulnerability and a child-like wonder become trademarks of the director, who remains one of Hollywood’s most enduring and influential filmmakers.  


Lean Steven Spielberg a chéad scannán lánfhada, The Sugarland Express, leis an scéinséir ceannródaíoch seo, a d’éirigh leis scannán móréilimh agus coincheap na heisiúna samhraidh ‘tentpole’ a shainmhíniú. Is cóiriú é an scannán ar úrscéal Peter Benchley agus léirigh Spielberg a chumas teannas agus bísimíní a mhéadú tríd an scór atá cáiliúil anois, agus a chuid eagarthóireachta sciliúla. Chuir na fíor-láithreacha trá le réalachas an scannáin, agus béim ar fhreagairtí sceimhlithe agus uafáis na gcarachtar a léiríodh trí ghluaiseacht réidh an cheamara, agus déanann nochtadh mall an tsiorca an teannas níos measa. Is comharthaí sóirt iad leochaileacht agus iontas an pháiste de shaothar an stiúrthóra, atá fós ar dhuine de na scannánóirí is buaine agus is mó le rá i Hollywood.  


Advisory: Some gory scenes with moderately frightening content / Comhairle: Roinnt radharc fuilteach le hábhar measartha scanrúil.
