Absolutely beautiful film. And it has one of the greatest last shots in cinema history.

[@davidfernandez8515]

A perfect movie in my book. Only thing I'd have add is a post credits scene with some of Spielberg's footage. I know his first movies are lost, but I bet there's to be at least something left and it'd have been really emotional

To see Maestro John Williams ever so easily position himself onto the piano bench the way he did at age 89-90 is a beautiful thing...

It’s so beautiful that Spielberg made his most personal film at Universal 😊

[@AuronTsubaki85]

The studio that helped put him and his production company Amblin on the map. The one that started it all.

The scenes in this movie flow like poetry. Such a beautiful film. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

"There are no villains in The Fabelmans. In a way, The Fabelmans is a story about the act of forgiveness; and how important that act of forgiveness is. One of the reasons I wrote this story is because at a very young age, something happened in my life, which is reflected in my film, but something happened in my life which was between myself and my mother, where I stopped perceiving my mother as a parent, and began looking upon her as a person. I had that epiphany when I was sixteen years old, and so I have never looked at any of the people in my story as enemies." Beautiful words from Spielberg! If only every one us could look at our parents, or anyone else, as the person that they are, and not as the role they play in our lives, we would always forgive each other and live more peacefully.

I’ve always loved Steven Spielberg’s films and live just a few minutes away from where he saw his first movie. He has this amazing ability to recreate the feeling of being a child, whether it’s that sense of wonder or the inner emotions of a child of divorce. I had to hold back tears as I watched this with my mom because let’s just say I could very much relate to part of the storyline. I’ve been in that position before where as soon as you have your parent’s remorse, you don’t want it. Because it hurts too much to see them sad, no matter how much their mistakes may have hurt you. So like Seth said, I could very much project a bit of my own life onto this film, even knowing it’s about Steven Spielberg.

[@shugotenshi2182]

I think we should savor this decade. Its might be their last decade to make movies for some of these Legends, Spielberg, Scorsese, Tarantino etc, etc. Even just saying out loud makes my heart heavy.

[@ricksand6477]

What a beautiful, bold and brave picture for Steven Spielberg to make. Thank you for this!

I absolutely Adored this movie! Spielberg's best work since the 90s.

Thanks! I made a lot of these videos for television in the past, so I had some practice. But it’s always nice when someone pays attention to editing.

[@topcat4807]

I will see this at some point I promise. I have tremendous respect for Steven Spielberg. After his team sent me that personal first class Letter that showed up on my porch in a first class FedEx Express envelope. ❤

[@Mr.Goodkat]

What did it say? why'd he send it?

[@topcat4807]

@@Mr.Goodkat I would have to send it your email it’s kinda too long type out. I sent a fan letter to him saying that I am from Aurora Colorado, and I did survive the Aurora Colorado Century 16 theatre shooting 10 years ago. Long story short I was in theatre 8 where the bullets went through the wall, and lost my friend next door in theatre 9 where the shooter was. I also said that he was my favorite director, and if he could find someone to write up the script that I would trust him with the story line. I think after 10 years it’s a story worth telling.

[@ultimateeick2910]

This movie spoke to me in pretty much the deepest possible way it could’ve, because my family went through an extraordinarily similar event when I was a child. In short, my parents divorced for the same reason as Spielberg’s did. The revelation that he talks about at 3:35 was one that I had when I was 12, and it hit me like a train, and like him, I’ve never looked at anyone as a pure villain ever again. The realization of nuance and subtlety is usually not something people understand until their 20s, or even later, and in many ways it has helped shape me into someone that tries to emphasize empathy and understanding over everything else. I loved this movie.

[@Breondan]

I think this movie will inspire future directors to make movies if i saw this movie 40 years ago i might have just made a movie that i wanted to see. No matter the quality

These actors all appreciated the movie and working with Spielberg, who is obviously a good egg. But the story doesn't interest me. And unless it turns up without charge on YTube, I will not go out of my way to see it in theaters.

Seriously don't get the hype.... a very disappointing film from Spielberg..mediocre at best.. not really an award winning film either.. and Mr Wiliam's score is borderline instantly forgettable... and this is coming from a life-long supporter of all their films together...
