The film, cowritten by Tony Kushner, tells the story of Spielberg's early life in a drama starring Michelle Williams, Paul Dano, Seth Rogen and Gabriel LaBelle.
Right away Sammy’s sisters become the eager cast of his first home-made movies. A story of horror at the dentist’s office and the adventures of toilet paper-wrapped mummies eventually give way to Westerns and war pictures starring the other members of Sammy’s Boy Scout troupe. The kid might be lifting bits of stories directly from the Hollywood movies he’s seeing, but he’s making the technique up for himself.
Most of this time is spent in Phoenix, a place with a surprisingly strong hold on Mitzi. A talented pianist whose hopes for a performing career ended two or three children ago, she models the dreamy and reckless aspects of artistic creation. Following her whims and enthusiasms greedily, she’s just off-kilter enough to occasionally call to mind Gena Rowlands in. As in that film, her literal-minded husband is deeply devoted to her even when she baffles him.
That poisonous word meets antivenom with a surprise visit from Mitzi’s elderly uncle Boris , a vagabond who worked in circuses and in Hollywood. Immediately recognizing a kindred spirit — or turning the boy into one — he delivers a stirring lesson about the conflict between loyalty to family and devotion to art.
Sammy has already started to understand how to direct novice actors and recreate dolly shots; editing his home movies, he’s learned that the camera sees things the human eye misses. Now he learns how social meaning can be constructed through camera angles and editing. The boys who’ve humiliated him are transformed by the film Sammy screens at the prom, and not only in ways we’d expect.
