Auteur theory is “A theory of film criticism, popularized in France during the 1950s, that treats the director of a film as its primary author. In certain cases, a particularly influential producer or screenwriter may also be considered an auteur filmmaker”. (Goodykoontz, B., & Jacobs, C. P. (2014)). A director that I consider to be an auteur is Steven Spielberg because he has a unique vision and is able to express his creativity and identity in his films. I believe that you can see in most of Steven Spielberg’s film the theme of alien life creatures, and lack of a strong parental figure.
