From: Kevin <Mackey.PA@XEROX.ARPA> Recently there was some mention of trends in Spielberg films. For a thought-provoking article that discusses a trend see "Why Steven Spielberg Has Gone Over the Brink Into Violence in 'Indiana Jones'" by Michael Ventura in the L.A. Weekly (It's probably been reprinted in many places; I found it in the Sunday San Francisco Chronicle Datebook, Sunday, June 24th, p. 35.) Basically, it shows that all his films have "the chase of the unknown vs. man, the man vs. the unknown and finally, chaos." An important point to consider, which this article doesn't, is that there are people other than Spielberg who wrote some of these movies. ~Kevin
