The Great Unknown: Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Why are we afraid of unknowns? In the process of answering this question, science fiction type movies captured the history of American society at various points. This type is closely related to social and historical background and its development is completely dependent on this relationship. Myths and traditions of science fiction remain the same for decades and the only measurable change of this type is the theme of the movie (Gehring 229-230). For example, Robert Wise's "Day of Earth Rest" (1951) argues that fear of an unknown is a human nature defect and criticizes the American social paranoia of the 1940s after the war .

Producer and director and Steven Spielberg changed all the stories about "a third type of intimate contact" a few years ago, a very successful movie about benign tourists from outer space. Recently he made another step forward and brought a strange little creatures called Alien - E. T that is not only gentle but cute. The picture shown is ET aliens, the most noteworthy and economically successful movie in the past year. Regarding Spielberg himself, he is a 30-year-old young, his first one attracts attention, his direction is the night galleries and TV special battle with the famous white shark, and as Hollywood one prospers doing. Strategies for top class film directors, lost arcs and mischiefs in close contact with the third category in 1941. He has successfully invested in ET.

In a general view, Steven Spielberg is fluffy fancy and a cheap emotion falconer. Look at people like E.T. The third type of intimate contact, supporters of this school said. With these and Spielberg's most famous and favorite movies, the character always gets what they want, and the audience leaves the cinema to soak in the warmth of eternal happiness. The dream of the Spielberg movie will come true; a nightmare does not exist. In fact, things are much more complicated than this. Spielberg supports optimism rather than darkness rather than pessimism but this does not mean that his work does not have such a denial at all. People who cited ET, Close Encounters, Jurassic Park, Hook as examples of the happiest and warmest movies ignore the terrible darkness aside aside his character before a happy ending. Both Hook and Close Encounter have a really cold abduction, but E. T

The third type of intimate contact, a follow-up to his landmark success with Spielberg's white shark is another science fiction novel. It combines Spielberg's iconic family man's journey now with the contemporary sex paranoia of 1970's and extraordinary fairy tale magic. It is visually amazing, won the Oscar for film photography of that year, and also has one of the most representative music sequences in the film. It's through John F. and Walt Disney's science fiction, but Star Wars is through Michael Curtis and Kurosawa.
