steven spielberg admits his films became darker after september 11 the war horse director says he was changed by the terrorist attacks in new york and washington in 2001 and that has come across in his work though he admits the professional shift wasnt intentional he said 911 changed a lot for me it changed a lot for everybody in the world and my films did grow darker after 911 minority report was a very dark look at the future and certainly war of the worlds which was a very direct reference to 911 it was a real post911 story not intended that way but thats the way it turned out so i think the world has a great impact on how it colours my movies i think thats a good sign it just means im changing by being aware of whats happening steven also admitted that the sequels to some of his films have not lived up to the high standards he sets he said my sequels havent been better than the originals i havent made a godfather ii yet godfather ii is the creme de la creme and ive never done that for me not maybe the audience a lot think the third indiana jones is the best indiana jones but i always felt all my sequels after raiders of the lost ark werent as good source bang showbiz
