That's got to be a first, no? A director making a movie about his own life?

I’m sure that it wouldn’t be hagiographic at all.

Speaking to DiscussingFilm, Spielberg's longtime cinematographer, Janusz Kamiński, gives more insight into The Fabelmans story and setting, saying that, “It’s a very emotional movie that tells the story of Spielberg from the age of seven to eighteen.” He goes on to say that The Fabelmans will dig deeper into Spielberg's family life and what led to his desire to make movies, saying, “It deals with his family, with his parents, conundrums with his sisters, but primarily deals with his passion for movie-making.” Kamiński says the film will be a very personal movie, touching on things like "young love, parental divorce, and early formative relationships," saying: “It’s a very beautiful, beautiful personal movie. It’s very revealing about Steven’s life and who he is as a filmmaker“ screenrant.com/fabelmans-movie-story-details-time-period-steven-spielberg/ |

Given the current re-releases of E.T. and Jaws (I saw the former twice, once in IMAX, in August, and I just viewed the latter in IMAX and next plan to see it in 3D), I wonder if Spielberg is preparing the public for a quasi-biopic about himself.

I missed the re-release of E.T. I watched Jaws on IMAX just yesterday, and it was fantastic. My first time seeing it on a big screen.

It promises to be his most mawkish movie yet. And that's saying an awful lot.
I'll stick with Hope and Glory and Son of Rambow for my favorite semi-bios of filmmakers.

I missed the re-release of E.T. I watched Jaws on IMAX just yesterday, and it was fantastic. My first time seeing it on a big screen.
I have now seen Jaws six times in the theater since June 2015, although this was the first full-fledged re-release that I have witnessed. My fifth viewing, a month ago, was my first in IMAX, and maybe the first time that it has ever been shown in IMAX. Watching the film on an IMAX screen proved an excellent experience, I concur. I viewed Jaws in 3D (and XD) the next day, and while 3D did not add a lot, it did not detract from the film, either. The ocean waves seeming to lap all the way into my seat, especially at the start of the film and again at the end, was relatively worthwhile. I could go into further detail, but Jaws takes on fresh relevance in light of COVID. Also, part of what makes the film special is that it is a movie about masculinity and cultural ethos as much as a giant shark, to the point where it is virtually impossible to imagine Jaws being made today. Oh, a film about a giant shark could of course be made (and has been made, recently), but not Jaws.
