Steven Spielberg never fails to blow us away with his imagination.

　　The US director's latest film Ready Player One，which was released in Chinese cinemas on March 30，is a story set in the year 2045，when people escape their hope less every day lives by putting on a VR mask and entering a virtual world named Oasis. This fantasy land is filled with characters and settings right out of classic films and video games. At the age of 71，Spielberg is still at the top of his game.

　　Indeed，Spielberg has always been a "gamer" himself-or more precisely，a "game changer"． When his thriller Jaws came out in 1975，it struck a chord with audiences all around the world and even kept people from going swimming for fear of the "teeth in the sea"． The film was also an example of what we know as summer hits. And again in 1982 his alien film E．T. the Extra­Terres trial，Spielberg challenged people's belief that aliens are something to be feared by telling a story about a loving friendship between a space culture and a little boy.

　　Now comes Ready Player One. When Wade Watts，the film's teenager leading figure，finally prevents Oasis from falling into the wrong hands，he is given ownership of the virtual world by its late designer James Haliday. But Watts makes a decision that he hopes will make people want to appreciate their real lives，instead of spending all their free time escaping reality in Oasis，which is a real­life message that Spielberg is trying to deliver to the audience.
