The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, November 11, 2022) Movie • Page 5

decidedly not. i love this movie but he is the weak link.

 

I wonder how much of that storyline was true. An unmarried man hanging around a family would be weird today but very hard to imagine back then.

 

from interviews he's done, including some with his parents, it sounds pretty true

 

I left the theater with a goofy smile on my face. This is pure Spielberg magic.

 

Just went to see this tonight, and I loved it. The entire last hour of this movie was absolutely phenomenal, and overall offers really interesting commentary about the roles art and media play in our life and how we interpret it.

conversely, I did not know this movie existed until a couple weeks ago when my girlfriend told me about it, so it’s a real shame that it’s bombing and/or hasn’t been a ton of promotion

 

Saw this tonight and really enjoyed it. The cameo at the end as a certain legendary director was a real treat.

 

Best director GG. His 3rd win.

 

Ending the night with this winning best drama film

 

Saw this today. Great film. Maybe a smidge too long.

 

Saw this last night and I had his GG speech in the back of my mind the whole time. Can’t imagine working through something so raw and painful in public. Incredible movie.

 

Pretty special film, huh

 

This has to be one of Spielberg's darkest films. Any of the cheese and cliche that he normally includes is almost always immediately negated when reality hits. The mom having a breakdown and venting to her own son about her affair is one of the most uncomfortable things I've watched this year. This feels like an anti-"movie magic" movie to me. That sentimentalism is definitely there, but it's not sugar-coated at all. Judd Hirsch literally tells the kid that he cares more about his art than his family. And by making this movie, Spielberg is kinda proving him right! Putting his parent's dirty laundry out there for the world to see for the sake of a movie, and after they died to spare them the embarrassment

 

Interesting. That's one of my film "what ifs". If Kubrick could have made the Napoleon film would we ever have gotten Barry Lyndon?

 

The man basically invented the blockbuster genre, did it better than anyone else, and when he got tired of making those kinds of films he became one of the best mainstream dramatic directors as well. It is such an impressive career.

 

What is the front runner at this point? I haven’t paid attention at all.

 

everything everywhere

 

Isn't the anti-Semitic raccoon movie the favorite?

 

What the hell are you talking about

 

I really hope that doesn’t win.

 

I thought that the favorite was about some old british lesbians
