The Fabelmans, the latest and one of the best films by legendary director Steven Spielberg, is now streaming in India on Sony Liv. The film is a semi-autobiographical drama that depicts Spielberg’s childhood and his love for cinema. It stars Gabriel Labelle as Sammy Fabelman, a young boy who discovers his passion for filmmaking while dealing with his family’s troubles. The film also features Michelle Williams, Paul Dano, Seth Rogen, and Judd Hirsch in supporting roles.
The Fabelmans is a deeply personal and emotional film that explores the power of movies to help us see the truth about ourselves and others. It is based on Spielberg’s own experiences as a child in Arizona, where he made his first films with a Super 8 camera. The film is dedicated to the memories of Spielberg’s real-life parents, Leah Adler and Arnold Spielberg, who died in 2017 and 2020, respectively.

Note: This article contains spoilers for the entirety of “The Fabelmans.”
Steven Spielberg’s latest film stays true to its cinematic themes of family and family drama that he’s covered throughout his career. But with “The Fabelmans,” the acclaimed filmmaker finally turns the focus on what has been portrayed through metaphor, subtext or theme in many of his previous films: his own life. The film explores Spielberg’s unconventional upbringing and entry into filmmaking through the eyes of Sammy Fabelman (Gabriel Labelle).
Much of “The Fabelmans” revolves around Sammy’s life at home with his artistic mother Mitzi (Michelle Williams), engineer father Burt (Paul Dano) and three sisters, who he often enlists to act in his home movies. But things take a sharp turn when his parents’ marriage begins to fall apart, uprooting his life in more ways than one.

Although Oscar-winning production designer Rick Carter has worked closely with directors Robert Zemeckis, James Cameron (“Avatar”), and J.J. Abrams (“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and “The Rise of Skywalker”), his greatest collaboration spans 11 films with Steven Spielberg, from “Jurassic Park” to “The Fabelmans.”
Indeed, Spielberg brings out the best in Carter, who enjoys exploring characters through the spaces they inhabit. It’s a form of world-building based as much on psychology as visual design and has led to several self-discoveries for Carter about his own Goya-esque artistry and conscience in the post 9/11 cycle of war films: “War of the Worlds,” “Munich,” “War Horse,” “Lincoln,” and “The Bfg.”
But “The Fabelmans” — the director’s most personal film and nominated for seven Academy Awards, including production design — provided the greatest epiphany for the Oscar-nominated Carter because he was able to crack “the Spielberg code”: the set of themes and motifs that recur throughout his films,...

Steven Spielberg delivered a blockbuster speech accepting the Golden Bear for lifetime achievement at the Berlin Film Festival, reports ‘Variety’. The filmmaker said that despite directing for six decades, making ‘Duel’ and ‘Jaws’ felt like “last year”. “I know a lot more about moviemaking than I did when I directed my first feature film at 25,” Spielberg said, notes ‘Variety’.
“But the anxieties and the uncertainties and the fears that tormented me as I began shooting ‘Duel’ have stayed vivid for 50 years, as if no time has passed. And luckily for me, the electric joy I feel on the first day of work as a director is as imperishable as my fears, because there’s no place more like home for me than when I’m working on a set,” the auteur added.

I see how the major Oscar races are falling into place, and in most every scenario the biggest winners are “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and “The Banshees of Inisherin.” What has gotten shortchanged in this equation is a little film called “The Fabelmans,” Steven Spielberg’s oh-so-personal semi-autobiography about his young childhood and adolescence growing up in New Jersey, Arizona and Northern California. It follows Sammy Fabelman (Gabriel Labelle) as the stand in for Spielberg: a young guy obsessed with (what else?) making movies.
The film co-stars Michelle Williams as Sammy’s mother Mitzi, Paul Dano as his father Burt and Seth Rogen as close family friend Bennie. There’s also a showy supporting role from Judd Hirsch as the grizzled Jewish immigrant Uncle Boris. “The Fabelmans” earned a healthy seven Academy Award nominations, including picture, director (Spielberg), original screenplay (Spielberg and Tony Kushner), lead actress (Williams...

John Williams is retiring after he finishes the score for the forthcoming Indiana Jones movie — right? Well, Steven Spielberg certainly thinks so. Or thought so. He was corrected on that notion at the very end of a 90-minute conversation between the two film giants Thursday night.
At the event, sponsored by the American Cinematheque and held at the Writers Guild Theater, moderator (and Variety film music writer) Jon Burlingame addressed the elephant that was gingerly lingering around the edges of the room: “A final question for each of you. John, are you really retiring from films? Are this” — “The Fabelmans,” the last film to come up for discussion — “and the Indiana Jones film to come your last work for the medium?”
“Well, Steven is a lot of things,” replied the composer. “He’s a director, he’s a producer, he’s a studio head, he’s a writer, he’s a philanthropist,...

From Star Wars to Jaws to Harry Potter to Indiana Jones to Jurassic Park and much more, John Williams has crafted some of the most memorable and beautiful scores in cinema history. The famed composer hinted last year that he was considering retiring after he completed his scores for The Fabelmans and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, but at a special event with Steven Spielberg, John Williams revealed he has changed his mind about retiring.
“I’ll stick around for awhile,” John Williams said. “I can’t retire from music. A day without music is a mistake.” He added that his decades-long collaboration with Steven Spielberg was as good a reason as any not to retire. “One thing Steven isn’t is a man you can say no to,” Williams said. He used Spielberg’s own father as an inspiration. Arnold Spielberg worked with the USC Shoah Foundation...

There have been many rumors flying around recently that composer John Williams, age 90, is hanging up his piano after his most recent project scoring Steven Spielberg‘s semi-autographical Oscar contender “The Fabelmans.” As it turns out, the iconic movie maestro still has a decade left of work to look forward to. (Collective reaction: Yay!)
Thursday night at the Writers Guild Theater in Beverly Hills, Williams and Spielberg met up for a 50-year in-depth retrospective of their careers scoring and directing some of the biggest movies of all time. And Williams had this to say when asked point-blank from moderator Jon Burlingame (Variety) about whether he was retiring:
“Well, um, Steven is a lot of things. He’s a director, he’s a producer, he’s a studio head, he’s a writer, he’s a philanthropist, he’s an educator … one thing he isn’t, is a man you can say ‘no’ to.

As filmmaker Steven Speilberg’s film ‘The Fablemans’, which won Best Picture and Best Director awards at 80th Golden Globes, is all set to be released in India on February 10, Reliance Entertainment has re-released its trailer to excite the audiences.
The over-two-minutes-long trailer of the semi-autobiographical from the dream maker, which includes an homage to the Cecille DeMille film, ‘The Greatest Show on Earth’, shows a little boy’s obsession with cinema in small-town America, where Jews are still hated, and how his pianist mother takes him nearer to it.
The film is a semi-autobiographical story loosely based on Spielberg’s adolescence and first years as a filmmaker, told through an original story of the fictional Sammy Fabelman, who explores how the power of movies can help him see the truth about his dysfunctional family.

"The Fabelmans" is Steven Spielberg's most personal film to date. "I've been hiding from this story since I was 17 years old," the filmmaker said last night, accepting his Best Director Golden Globe award. "I've told this story in parts and parcels all through my career ... but I've never had the courage to hit this story head on until Tony Kushner ... sat me down and said 'start telling me all these stories about your life.'"
Since their first pairing together on 2005's "Munich," frequent collaborator Tony Kushner has been just as invested in telling Spielberg's childhood story as the man himself. As an artist who has always been more comfortable approaching themes through the emotional safety of metaphor, it took a screenwriter like Kushner to help Spielberg open up and confront these dredged up memories directly, especially since the recent passing of his mother and father, Leah Adler and Arnold Spielberg.

Sam Fabelman (Gabriel Labelle) may be the protagonist of "The Fabelmans," but his parents Mitzi (Michelle Williams) and Burt (Paul Dano) are just as important. The movie is a roman à clef of director Steven Spielberg's childhood, with Sam representing Steven himself while Williams and Dano's characters are his own late parents, Leah Adler and Arnold Spielberg.
What's most surprising about "The Fabelmans" is that it's one of Spielberg's less sentimental films. The script (written by Spielberg and Tony Kushner) is free of self-aggrandizement and even with the names changed, it's emotionally honest. Critic Roger Ebert called movies "machines that generate empathy" and watching "The Fabelmans," you feel Spielberg is telling this story so he can better understand his parents and what drove them apart.
Casting your own parents probably isn't an easy task; you know them intimately but they're also larger than life. Still, Michelle Williams rose to...

It must have been wild for Steven Spielberg to go from making home movies with his best friends to becoming one of the biggest names the industry has ever seen. So much of how movies are made, especially in the realm of blockbusters, can be attributed to his work, most notably on a little shark picture ("Jaws") that has traumatized folks to stay out of the water for generations. He could easily boast about his Academy Awards and box office records, but at heart, he's still the imaginative young kid who loved to make movies with whatever he could get his hands on.
Spielberg remembers where he came from, which makes a project like "The Fabelmans" feel extra special. It takes a lot to mine a swath of memories from your formative years for the world to see, but that's exactly what he does here -- and in top form too.

How the Editors of ‘The Fabelmans’ Helped Spielberg Convey the Emotional Truth of His Personal Story
When it came to editing Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical “The Fabelmans” (available to stream on PVOD), it didn’t matter to editors Michael Kahn and Sarah Broshar which story belonged to Spielberg and which to Sammy Fabelman, his onscreen alter ego. They merged into a single legendary tale, echoing John Ford’s “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance,” which figures prominently in the film. What mattered most was capturing the authentic spirit of the director’s origin story, a dramatization of his uprooted childhood and parents’ divorce, his journey West to the Promised Land of Hollywood, and embrace of movies and filmmaking for escape and empowerment.
“It’s gotta be a real story about Steven and why he picks the movies he does, but this is quite clear why he picked this one,” Kahn told IndieWire. He’s cut every Spielberg movie since 1977’s “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,...

Spielberg has always had a gift for capturing the most personal and intimate essences of his life in his films, from the fraught family dynamics portrayed in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial," to his version of "West Side Story" fashioned from the memories of watching the original with his late father.

Steven Spielberg's semi-autobiographical film "The Fabelmans" recasts his childhood and memories through the lens of the titular family. His avatar is Sammy Fabelman (Gabriel Labelle), a kid coming of age while simultaneously learning that he has a deep love of — and aptitude for — filmmaking. Sadly, his growing obsession with cinema coincides with the breakdown of his family. As Sammy becomes more aware of the world around him, we watch his father and mother inevitably split. The film deftly handles its delicate balancing act. Overall, "The Fablemans" is an impressive feat of self-mythologizing that pushes for earnest sentimentality while letting its characters be messy and complicated.
Thanks to both the screenplay (by Spielberg and "West Side Story" collaborator Tony Kushner) and a talented cast, "The Fabelmans" is full of memorable characters who populate Sammy's world. Read on for every main character in "The Fabelmans,...

“The Fabelmans” is billed as Steven Spielberg’s most autobiographical film to date, though viewers who’ve followed the director’s career closely have already absorbed plenty of his life story. Whether or not Spielberg was always aware of this is another question. Recall his episode of “Inside the Actor’s Studio,” in which host James Lipton catches Spielberg off-guard with an observation about “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”: A child of divorce, the son of concert pianist Leah Adler and data processing pioneer Arnold Spielberg had made a movie where humans and extraterrestrials can communicate because “they make music on their computers.” “I’d love to say, ‘You know, I intended that, and I realize that was my mother and father,'” Spielberg tells Lipton, as he cracks a smile. “But not until this moment!”

Steven Spielberg has always proven to be something of an enigma. He’s not only the most commercially successful filmmaker of the past nearly half-century but also the most beloved. In point of fact, he is alone among movie producers and directors whose name elicits excitement, compassion, whimsy, longing, a sense of awe. He’s the cuddly teddy bear of cinema, a man we have come to see as the embodiment of our collective sense of childlike wonder. We identify no other creative as such a larger-than-life personality in his own right. Not even Scorsese or Tarantino can match the Spielberg reputation with the general public. He’s the guy who gave us “E.T.” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and “Jurassic Park” and enough escapist thrills to leave us with the unmistakable impression that he’s family.
The paradox part comes in how little of himself Spielberg has permitted us to see.

Michelle Williams is now part of Steven Spielberg’s family for real.
The four-time Oscar-nominated actress revealed that “The Fabelmans” director Spielberg still sends her photos of his parents, Leah Adler and Arnold Spielberg, over a year after wrapping production on his autobiographical film. Williams plays Mitzi, based on Adler, while Paul Dano is Spielberg’s surrogate father as Burt Fabelman.
“We’re still talking about his parents. We were just texting about his parents,” Williams said during the MoMA Contenders series panel post-screening. “I am still getting family photos, things I have never seen, and the archives and the memories and the love.”
“The Fabelmans” production concluded in September 2021, with the film now opening in theaters November 11.
Williams shared that “there was nothing I couldn’t ask” Spielberg about his upbringing, while co-star Gabriel Labelle, who plays Spielberg’s insert Sammy Fabelman, added that everything in the film really happened to the auteur.

As singular an artist as Steven Spielberg is, his frequent collaborators-cum-repertory company help make his movies that much more well-rounded and powerful. From actors like Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise, and Tom Hanks to producing partners Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall to people like editor Michael Kahn and longtime composer John Williams, Spielberg's collection of fellow artists is not only well-varied, but impressive in their own right.
One such impressive member of the Spielberg team is writer Tony Kushner, who went from making a Spielberg reference in his Tony award-winning play "Angels in America" to becoming Spielberg's screenwriter on 2005's "Munich." Since then, Kushner wrote the screenplays for "Lincoln" and last year's "West Side Story," and with the exception of adapting "Angels in America" for HBO and August Wilson's play "Fences" for Denzel Washington's film version, Kushner's on-screen work has been for Steven Spielberg.

In Steven Spielberg’s latest film “The Fabelmans”, the director was staggered by how much Paul Dano resembled his late father in the semi-autobiographical drama about Spielberg’s life.
The film’s casting was extremely important to the legendary director, 75, since it centres on how he overcame a family divide in his early life, as a child growing up in post-World War II America, in order to pursue his passion for movie-making.
The project, which Spielberg considers his most vulnerable movie and “first coming-of-age story [he’s] ever told,” allowed him to explore both his creatively-minded mother and “methodical” father’s influence on his life, especially through the divide between them, as reflected by his stand-in Sammy Fabelman, played by Gabriel Labelle.

While “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” are expected to be Oscar craft juggernauts (“Avatar: The Way of Water” and “Babylon” are still Tbd), don’t discount Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical “The Fabelmans” as a major contender as well. That’s because of its status as Best Picture frontrunner (winning the influential TIFF People’s Choice audience award) and great craftsmanship in recreating the celebrated director’s troubled coming-of-age in the ’50s and ’60s and his early brilliance as a filmmaker.

Despite his unique mastery of the form from a young age, Steven Spielberg has never been a particularly mysterious filmmaker. His success stories have been well-documented, from his early maverick successes like "Jaws" to his innovative blockbusters like "Jurassic Park." One other crucial ingredient to his filmmaking that Spielberg takes with him, no matter the scale, is a strong sense of identity.
Littered throughout his filmography are glimpses into his childhood psychology. "Close Encounters" and "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" find domestic drama within the framework of their alien sci-fi tales. Beneath the surface of his blockbusters are stories of fathers with fear of commitment, and sons looking for their place in a larger world without traditional guidance. But in Spielberg's newest, semi-autobiographical film, "The Fabelmans," the sentimentalist filmmaker will bare his soul in a way even he has never attempted before. "This film is, for me, a way of bringing my mom and dad back,...

Over his nearly 50 years of filmmaking, Steven Spielberg has walked down too many red carpets to count.
From “Raiders of the Lost Ark” to “Bridge of Spies,” the legendary director’s PR-heavy vocation requires he trade in his characteristic baseball cap for a snappy suit just a few nights per year to strut his stuff in front of the press. He’s been the recognizable — if understated — centerpiece in countless iconic cast photos, boasting as many award winners as box-office dynamos.
But on Saturday night, Spielberg did something a bit new. He appeared at the Toronto International Film Festival to promote “The Fabelmans”: a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age drama that’s mainly about him.
“When we were making ‘Munich’ together 20 years ago, [Spielberg] told me the story that is the core of ‘The Fabelmans,'” screenwriter Tony Kushner told IndieWire. “I said, ‘You’re going to have to make a movie about that someday.

Steven Spielberg is about to call Paul Dano “daddy.” Ok, probably not literally – that would be weird and likely unprofessional – but figuratively. That’s because Spielberg is making a movie inspired by his own childhood, and he has hired Dano to play a fictional version of Spielberg’s own father, Arnold Spielberg. Here’s what we know […]

Arnold Spielberg, the father of filmmaker Steven Spielberg, died on Tuesday of natural causes, Variety has learned. He was 103.
Steven was with his father on the night of his death, according to a statement, telling him, “You are our hearth. You are our home.” He also said of his father, who was an engineer at General Electric, “When I see a PlayStation, when I look at a cell phone — from the smallest calculator to an iPad — I look at my dad and I say, ‘My dad and a team of geniuses started that.’”
In addition to Steven, he had three daughters, Anne, Nancy and Sue. In a joint statement, Spielberg’s children said their father taught them to “love to research, expand their mind, keep their feet on the ground, but reach for the stars [and] look up.”

Arnold Spielberg, a pioneering computer designer who encouraged his only son, Steven Spielberg, to become a filmmaker, has died. He was 103.
Spielberg died Tuesday of natural causes in Los Angeles, his family announced.
In 1960, Arnold Spielberg helped design the Ge-225 mainframe computer that enabled researchers at Dartmouth College to develop the coding tool known as Basic, which ushered in the era of personal computers.
“I remember visiting the plant when dad was working on the Ge-225,” Steven said in 2015. “I walked through rooms that were so bright, I recall it hurting my eyes. Dad explained how his computer was expected to perform, but the language of computer science in those days was like Greek to me.
“It all seemed very exciting, but it was very much out of my reach until the 1980s, when I realized what pioneers like my dad had created were now the things I could not live without.

For “Spielberg,” an HBO documentary about the highest-grossing director in film history, director and producer Susan Lacy (“American Masters”) conducted 30-plus hours of interviews with Steven Spielberg. She also spoke to more than 80 of his family members, friends, and collaborators, among them Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Brian De Palma, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Robert Zemeckis, J.J. Abrams, Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Dustin Hoffman, Oprah Winfrey, Cate Blanchett, Drew Barrymore, and late “E.T. the Extra Terrestrial” screenwriter Melissa Mathison.
All of that makes for a long movie — it clocks at nearly two-and-a-half hours — but the documentary has its rewards. Here’s the highlights of Lacy’s look at the 70-year-old icon.
