short paper on george lucas

George Lucas born and grew up on a walnut ranch in Modesto, California. When Lucas was in
his late teens he developed an interest in drag racing. However, a severe car accident changed
what he had wanted to be when he grew up. Originally he had wanted to be a race car driver.
Lucas had gone to Modesto Junior college before attending the University of Southern California
film school. While he was attending film school he made several short films such as
THX-1138:4EB, which had one first prize at the national student film festival. In 1967 he was
granted a scholarship to watch the making of the movie Finian's Rainbow, which was directed by
Francis Ford Coppola, who had also directed the movie The Godfather. In 1969 Coppola and
Lucas created a company called American Zoetrope. The first undertaking of the company was a
full length version of Lucas's THX-1138. In 1971, when Coppola started directing The Godfather
Lucas had set out and created his own company called Lucasfilm Ltd. In 1973 he had written and
directed the film American Graffiti. American Graffiti had won the Golden Globe and had been
nominated for five Academy Awards. In 1973 he had started writing the screen play for the movie
Star Wars, which he was inspired to write by Flash Gordon and Planet of the Apes. He
established ILM (Industrial Light and Magic) for the special effects for the movie. Sprocket
Systems was established to edit and mix it and it later became know as Skywalker Sounds. His
movie was turned down by a few different companies until Twentieth Century Fox had liked the
idea. The film had broken all box office records and had received seven Academy Awards.
Lucas along with Steven Spielberg had created the Indiana Jones which the PG-13 rating had been
created for. From 1980 to 1985 George Lucas had been creating Skywalker Ranch, which was
built to accommodate the different needs of LucasFilm. He had later created THX movie systems,
which revolutionized the way people watch movies.
The film American Graffiti was influenced by George Lucas's own life. The film was about four
teenagers having fun the last summer night before they go off to college. One of Lucas's particular
interests when he was in his teens was drag racing. This movie has to do with drag racing, too. I
think that the television show Happy Days was influenced by this movie. This movie reminded
me a lot about the show, and I don't think that the reason it reminded me of the show was Ron
Howard, but the way everything was shot and the setting was basically the same. The soundtrack
was also very similar to what kind of music is in the show, fifty's rock and roll. Two artists who
wrote two songs in that movie were Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly, which were two famous
songwriters/artists. Some movies that I think were influenced by American Graffiti are Grease

and Detroit Rock City. I think that Grease was influenced by this movie because of the drag
racing and also the similar setting. I think that Grease is also a coming of age film for the T-Birds.
Detroit Rock City was about four teenagers growing up in the 1970's and hating disco, but loving
the rock band KISS. They do anything and everything so that they could get into the concert.
The movie Star Wars was a monumental movie for the movie industry. Breaking all of the box
office records and receiving seven Academy Awards. So far there have been five different movies
in the series and Lucas is coming out with a sixth and he claims to be the last Star Wars movie he
will make. For the original movie George Lucas had wanted the exact cameras from the film
North by Northwest which is directed by Alfred Hitchcock. George Lucas had liked the look of
those cameras and had wanted it for Star Wars. One movie that was very obviously influenced by
Star Wars was Spaceballs, which parodied the film. There are many books that have been written
that were influenced by this film and authors have sort of continued the story through these books.
There are now a countless number of characters in this story and also a number of plots, too.
There are Star Wars fan clubs and tons of different memorabilia from this movie. I personally
think that the newer films haven't been as well made as the older ones because of various reasons.
I personally think that the special effects in the newer movies sort of overpower the plot. I think
that special effects should compliment a scene or plot but not overpower it.
Another film that George Lucas had written is Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark. This film is
about an archaeologist being hired by the United States to find the Ark of the Covenant before the
Nazis do. According to the Internet Movie Database () Lucas is currently
working on an Indiana Jones 4. One film that directly influenced this film is Casablanca. There is
a scene where the main character travels and there is also a map showing the route, this scene is
almost the same in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Also the setting is in Africa and the feel of the setting
is very similar to Casablanca.
George Lucas is a very accomplished film writer and director. He has done things that most
people haven't or can't do in their entire lifetimes. He is influenced by many movies and also
influenced many movies. He also is influenced by his own life and hobbies/interests.
