Steven Spielberg directed and co-wrote the coming-of-age drama The Fabelmans with his usual collaborator Tony Kushner. The film made its international premiere on September 10 at the Toronto Film Festival and was distributed in theaters on November 23 by Universal Pictures. The film is dedicated to Spielberg's late parents, Leah Adler and Arnold Spielberg, and the filmmaker first had the concept for it in 1999.
It is a semi-autobiographical drama based on Spielberg's adolescence and early filmmaking years, portrayed via the original story of the fictional Sammy Feibelman, a young and aspiring filmmaker who investigates how the power of movies might help him understand the truth about his chaotic family.
Sam is the oldest kid and the only male in a Jewish family that has migrated multiple times. Sam's father, Burt (Paul Dayno), is an engineer in the expanding computer industry who continues discovering better career prospects. His mother, Mitzi (Michelle Williams), is an artist who dislikes frequent moves, and it will be revealed that she has a hidden motive for this.
Spielberg is deservedly regarded as one of the finest (living) directors, and any autobiography written by him is worthy of our attention. The filmmaker puts his heart on the screen in this fictitious biography that hovers between intoxicating nostalgia and truth. This video depicts the director finding and venturing into the world of the camera and film strip in its own self-reflexive and self-referential way.
It is frequently difficult to distinguish art from the creator. This story, which is at the same time a coming-of-age drama about a youngster who learns to do what he loves and a drama about a family that is slowly falling apart, acts as a confirmation and a confession that certain ideas and motifs from Spielberg's film output symbolize some very personal things.
Those who pay closer attention to this filmmaker's work will undoubtedly recognize those links, whether it's the significance of family, the scars of divorce, or the broader, childish sense that there is a chance for adventure everywhere.
