Spielberg (2017)

When you think  of a Steven Spielberg movie, what first comes to mind? "Jurassic Park. ET? Jaws?" Whatever it is, he has made an impact on your cinema experience.  He is considered the greatest director who's ever lived. Rightfully so. Famed director Steven Spielberg, has spanned some 40 years in the film industry. with some critically acclaimed and controversial films. He is no doubt mine and millions of others favorite directors.

In this tell all, Spielberg unloads the secrets and drawbacks to his illustrious career as one of the most celebrated film directors of our time. It is unreal to see with all its fascination. This film is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen and possibly the best movie of 2017 for me. (Sorry Baby Driver).

What makes this film so unique, is the beauty and joy that he brings to his stories and how he came to be. Director Susan Lacy, crafts a special film that those who've followed him from his earlier days, will find sentimental value. From close friends, family and fellow Directors, their insight to this cinematic artistic genius is truly inspiring. Especially with the commentary of Spielberg himself.

All the while, this film acts as a motivation for future directors and anyone who wants to be in the film industry-(like myself). It does so well in the emotional impact it has on viewers. This film is truly remarkable and touching in ways that I wanted to learn more about him and crave his advice so deeply.
