[0:00]A boy wanted to make a movie with realistic special effects. First, he dug a hole in the ground and put a wooden board in the middle. His plan was to make an explosion effect when the board was lifted. Then, he buried firecrackers to make the sound of machine gun fire. He also filled balloons with red paint for actors to pop when they were shot, making the war scene feel more real. Still not happy, the boy told the actor playing the soldier that he was the last survivor of the war and his fallen comrades were like family who died because of his orders. This emotional setup helped create a powerful final scene. When the actor stepped onto the battlefield, he felt the weight of the story and tears began to fall. When the boy yelled cut, everyone else stood up, but the actor stayed in character, still caught up in the moment. After filming, the boy made small holes in the film to create the effect of gunfire, making it look like real guns were firing. A few days later, when the boy's film was shown at his school, everyone was amazed by how real the effects looked. This boy was none other than Steven Spielberg.
