![]() ![]() ‘Fabelmans’ Writer Tony Kushner on Dramatizing Steven Spielberg’s Life and What They’re Working on Next: ‘I’m Excited About It’ 35. Over his 50+ year career, Steven Spielberg has directed 34 features, with more on the way (how has he never made a western?) And each new Spielberg movie is an event. He’s the most well-known director of all time and, as “The Fabelmans” has proved, continues to deliver top-tier entertainment that also doubles as a towering work of art. These ideas and concepts are usually conveyed through technically unparalleled camera movements that are still somehow unshowy (we get into the “Spielberg oner” later). Saying something is “Spielbergian” conjures a very specific set of criteria – it probably involves children (or is at least viewed through the honeyed lens of the adolescent experience), an uncanny scenario (archeologist hunts for occult artifacts, dinosaurs return to life) and a potent mixture of both fear and awe, sometimes in the same sequence or same moment. There hasn’t been a single filmmaker – perhaps in the history of the medium – to capture the popular zeitgeist the way that Steven Spielberg has.
