When producing a realistic film, it’s always hard to recreate those events efficiently, however, Lean was able to do this, and the success of Lawrence of Arabia is evidence of that. Lawrence of Arabia’s influence on Spielberg is evident in his film; Empire of the Sun. Spielberg was also able to create a realistic based film that nailed the recreated events, effectively. The fact that both of these great film directors were able to pull off such a difficult task, and succeed at it to such a high level is impressive. David Lean will be remembered forever as an outstanding film maker. His films will go on to inspire future aspiring directors for years to come. Steven Spielberg always inspired to become a great film director since his childhood, and he has achieved that. A man who has won Oscars and awards, he will always be remembered in film
