Spielberg clearly and for sure is one of the best film directors around as his movies are personal, and historical and they let the imagination escape. Well with his latest "The Fabelmans" it is his own autobiography life like story as he grew up as a young boy in post War War II Arizona. It follows the life of the Fabelman family with dad the bright Burt(perfect Paul Dano) who's a smart engineer and he lives a happy life it seems with wife Mitzi(the sunshine like performance from Michelle Williams) and his kids in tow, however little boy Sammy seems special and life changes for him and the family after Sammy sees his first big screen movie out at the cinema. His interest is to start making his own movies at home starting with filming and taking pictures of a train set, then by getting his first camera homemade movies begin, only gradually it's on to bigger and better things with a movie camera as Sammy makes family like documentary pictures and his journey and love of film has him filming friends and his school life. Along the way a move to California opens his eyes even more as Sammy is closer to the land of Hollywood and movies however struggles of growing up dealing with school, peer pressure, and finding love all factor into Sammy's life. Also a family secret is revealed that involves mom Mitzi and a past family friend in Bennie(Seth Rogen). This splits the family up from dad Burt, however nothing will stop Sammy in the pursuit of his dream of loving film and movies as to make images on the big screen is his dream. Overall wonderful film of life as it's introduction to dreams blends well with family again this is a super coming of age story that proves art and life intersect to become real. Overall wonderful well done personal film from Steven.
