03 · 13 · 13 Five memorable scenes of Steven Spielberg Share with twitter Share with facebook Share with mail Copy to clipboard Ma. Cristina Alemán, editora web (@mcristina) With a filmography that extends over four decades and credits in direction and production in some of the highest grossing films of all time, deciding on a selection of Spielberg’s work is not easy. Below I present my best effort – any comments or suggestions are welcome on our Facebook page: here. The underwater shark attack in Jaws (1975): The music by John Williams and the certainty that the young swimmer is about to become the shark’s lunch is enough to make our hair stand on end permanently. The flying bicycles in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982): Who wouldn’t like to be in Elliott’s place when he begins his flight to save his adorable and wrinkled alien? The musical track by Williams, once again, helps to raise the spirit…and the bicycle. The girl in red in Schindler’s List (1933): Few journeys are more heartbreaking than that of an innocent girl trying to escape death and chaos. Williams gives the coup de grâce with the voices of the children’s choir in the background. Human sacrifice in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984): The fear of being thrown into a lava pit while my heart still beats in the hands of some bad priest was enough to ruin my vocation of archeologist forever. The velociraptors enter the kitchen in Jurassic Park (1993): It appears that the dreaded Tyrannosaurus Rex is nothing compared to the fastest and most ruthless velociraptors, and to top it off, know how to open doors. Would you like to add another scene?
