Steven Spielberg, the master of all masters of the seventh art, received the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival for his brilliant career. The filmmaker of Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom took a mass bath upon his arrival in the German capital where Hollywood's King Midas had not yet received an award, although it is hard to believe. Armed with his wife, Kate Capshaw, he made his appearance on the red carpet at the Berlinale, where he posed with a stuffed animal from ET, one of his most iconic films, took pictures with each of his fans, and received the award at the ceremony. from the hands of another genius, but of music, the singer Bono, from U2, a great admirer of the filmmaker's career.
Spielberg arrives in Berlin in the middle of the race for the Oscars. His film The Fabelmans is one of the favorites of the 95th Academy Awards with seven nominations and with it he will compete for the fourth, fifth, and sixth Oscars of his career - he has two as best director and best film for The list for Schindler, one for Best Director for Saving Private Ryan and is nominated for Best Picture, Director and Screenplay for The Fabelmans. This is his most personal and biographical film because it is inspired by some events that happened to him throughout his life. "The Fabelmans has been very difficult for me because I was telling a story with a lot of funny parts, but with a lot of traumatic parts, and even recreating those scenes was very difficult, which is why it has become the work that I am perhaps most involved. emotionally”, confesses the director, who has dedicated the film to his deceased mother, whose divorce when he was a child was a hard blow for him, as reflected in this and many of his films.
'My films are like my children, I don't have a favorite
After more than five decades in the cinema and more than sixty titles to his credit, the award-winning director, whose net worth according to Forbes amounts to 3.5 billion euros, assures that he does not have any favorite film among the great successes he has achieved in all of his careers: "Although it sounds cliché, my films are like my children, I don't have any favorite". Beyond his successes in the cinema, we review the personal life of this genius of the arts who has been married twice and has come to have seven children, including stepchildren, and biological and adopted children, all of them dedicated to the artistic world.
Spielberg, at 76, enjoys a full life with his second wife, Kate Capshaw, with whom he has been married for more than three decades and has seven children. Previously, the director was married to actress Amy Irving, with whom he signed one of the most expensive divorce agreements in Hollywood. He had to pay her half of what he had earned from her in her movie career during their time together, which amounted to $100 million, an astronomical figure for the time.
At the recent Golden Globe Awards, where he was awarded best director and best dramatic film for The Fabelmans, he had a very special dedication to his wife Kate Capshaw. "I've put a lot of other things before telling this story, even though I've already brought it up in bits and pieces throughout my career in movies like E.T. or The Third Kind," Spielberg said, but "it was my wife who told me: 'You have to tell it', and she wanted to thank her for the award.
