Steven Spielberg tells his own story in ‘The Fabelmans,’ and makes one of the best films of his entire career.
“didn’t include an extraterrestrial. It was going to be about how a divorce affects childhood, and how it really kids of traumatizes children. So the overarching theme was going to be about how do you fill the heart of a lonely child.” With Instead of an adorable little creature, Sammy discovers moviemaking. And is littered with little references and homages to Spielberg’s past movies, as well as to broader cinema history.
, Spielberg openly encourages the viewer to question his depiction of these events, most interestingly in a confrontation between Sammy and a high-school bully who Sammy has portrayed in one of his movies in a way they both know to be inaccurate. They have a surprising conversation where they struggle to express how they feel about each other and debate how much life is like the movies, and vice versa.
Steven Spielberg is now 75 years old. Both of his parents died in the last five years. His longtime collaborators aren’t spring chickens either. Composer John Williams is 90; editor Michael Kahn is 91. The art of motion pictures is even older, and sometimes it seems to be in very poor health. I hope Spielberg makes 20 more movies. But if this is the last one he ever directed, it would be the perfect career capper: An origin story, a thesis statement, a love letter, and a cautionary tale.
