The coming-of-age movie "The Fabelmans," which Joel Coen directed and starred in, follows adolescent Sammy Fabelman's love of filmmaking and his family's troubles in 1950s New York City.
"The Fabelmans" is a poignant coming-of-age movie that perfectly depicts the glamour of 1950s New York City filmmaking, as well as the hopes and difficulties of young people and their families. The movie is directed and starring by Joel Coen, who brings his own approach to a tale that seems both familiar and new. Sammy Fabelman, the little kid the movie centres on, develops a love of movies after his parents take him to watch "The Greatest Show on Earth." With a camera in hand, Sammy starts to create his own home movies, much to the delight of his encouraging mother. However, as his family deals with their own issues, Sammy takes comfort in his creative pursuits and his love of movies. Coen's direction is excellent; it expertly captures the sights and sounds of 1950s New York City. The performances are excellent, with Max Harwood's as Sammy standing out as a noteworthy newcomer. The movie combines humorous and moving moments of childlike wonder with the challenging realities of growing up. All things considered, "The Fabelmans" is a must-see for anyone who enjoys coming-of-age tales or is an avid moviegoer. It is a lovely and sincere ode to the magic of cinema and the strength of dreams.

During filming, the cast gained access to home movies, photographs, and recollections from Steven Spielberg's family's past to learn what they were like and how to portray the fictionalized versions of them (The Fabelman family) on screen, while making them feel fresh and original. Paul Dano reflected: "It was overwhelming and it was sort of a heavy cloak to bear because we were with someone who was having a big experience everyday, revisiting and reworking through a part of their life... For somebody like Steven to share that much of himself with us - with the audience too - it was really a profound experience."
For the scenes of Sammy filming his own 8mm films, Steven Spielberg decided to have the character re-create the exact ones he made during his childhood, and worked with cinematographer Janusz Kaminski to ensure that they were portrayed as accurately as possible, but with improvements in the camera angles. A few of the films portrayed in this film include the Western short film that he made with his fellow Boy Scout friends in order to earn the photography merit badge, the war short film Escape to Nowhere (1961), in which he used his school bully by casting him in the lead role in an effort to face his fears, and Spielberg's re-creation of the train wreck scene from Cecil B. DeMille's The Greatest Show on Earth (1952).Spielberg remarked "It was joyful being able to recreate those films. ... I shot a lot of films when I was a kid on 8mm. It was unique in those days. Not a lot of people were going out and shooting in 8mm. It was physical; it was a craft. You had to sit there with a...splicer, and then you had to scrape the emulsion off the film in order to get a seal so when you put glue on it, you literally glued the film together. And I must say, I miss it."
The 8mm and 16mm camera props used in the film had real film inside them, with Gabriel LaBelle being taught how to use the cameras, so that what was shot with them on set could be developed for usage in the film, as well as how to cut and splice film stock using the editing machines and film projectors of the 1950s and 60s.
Seth Rogen told reporters that Steven Spielberg often became emotional on the set during production. "It was a very emotional experience. He was crying a lot on set," he said. "It's very directly based on his life and pretty much everything that happens in the movie is something that happened to him. As we were shooting, I'd be like, 'Did this happen in real life?' and the answer was 'yes' a hundred percent of the time."
Steven Spielberg said his parents had been "nagging" him to put them on the big screen prior to their deaths. "They were actually nagging me, 'When are you going to tell that story about our family, Steve?' And so this was something they were very enthusiastic about," he said. He also shared what finally prompted him to make The Fabelmans: "I started seriously thinking, if I had to make one movie I haven't made yet, something that I really want to do on a very personally atomic level, what would that be? And there was only one story I really wanted to tell." He also said The Fabelmans is "the first coming-of-age story I've ever told." "My life with my mom and dad taught me a lesson, which I hope this film in a small way imparts," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "Which is, when does a young person in a family start to see his parents as human beings? In my case, because of what happened between the ages of 7 and 18, I started to appreciate my mom and dad not as parents but as real people."
"Mitzi Fabelman: [to Sammy] You do what your heart says you have to. 'Cause you don't owe anyone your life. Not even me."
"John Ford: When the horizon's at the bottom, it's interesting. When the horizon's at the top, it's interesting. When the horizon's in the middle, it's boring as shit. Now, good luck to you. And get the fuck out of my office!"
