Highly recommend meeting one of your favorite artists of all time and getting to tell him how much his work means to you in person.
10/10 experience. š„¹

The problem with the reading of the whole Margaretās childhood home simulacrum being reflective of Spielbergās response to making The Fabelmans is that itās honestly the most boring reading you can possibly have of that scene. And also probably the most useless. š

He used the same technique at the end of Ready Player One with Hallidayās childhood bedroom too!
Sorry, I have endless frustrations with this movie, and Iām honestly fairly disappointed in the large-scale response from people on here towards it. But I get thatās on me.

Sent this to the group chat in reply to his reading on it

The problem w the world isnt lack of empathy. Its that the ruling class exploits the working class for consolidation of wealth & power
The lack-of-empathy idea hides our primary conflict & hides that class struggle is the answer.
Spielberg's aliens were capitalist propagandists.

Oppenheimer was such an insane achievement and expansive work of artistic affect on Nolanās part (as was Tenet!). Despite the trailers being weirdly muted, knowing that weāve only seen a small fraction of what lies within The Odyssey has me pumped to see the final result. š

Disclosure Day becomes 10x more interesting if you consider it as being amongst the latter of his and not the former š¤§
The thing about Spielberg that I always wrestle with is that the same dude who made reverential, earnest, sentimental movies like Lincoln and E.T. also made primal hellspawn movies like Temple of Doom and Munich. He just seems like a really complicated guy.

The Big Picture ranking War Horse way too low on their 21st century Spielberg list, they need to get right with god

One of the major reasons why I suggested that Disclosure Day might be an āevil movieā. People very naively agreeing with and believing the lie of Spielbergās surface-level, phony āhumanisticā message feels tantamount to believing what a politician says when they open their mouth.
Yo no concuerdo con Godard en algo: yo si pienso que Spielberg tiene inteligencia. Lo que pasa es que yo tambien pienso que el tipo es simplemente tramposo y malicioso en formas que ninguno acĆ” es capaz de lidiar. El tipo que paga para que misiles se estrellen sobre Lebanonā¦

The movie actually becomes more interesting when you take its obvious CSA imagery literally and view it through the lens of it revealing the same cover-up that the disclosure around the Epstein files revealed. The āhands that guide usā kind of message.

I don't think it's hopecore cause the movie is very weird about what the aliens are doing, is it even a good thing as to having our wills constantly bend at the beckons of an unknown force? Is that really even 'empathy'? Etc.

Probably one of the best write-ups on Spielberg Iāve ever read.

Also, props for very rightly referencing Armond Whiteās devolving relationship with the filmmaker, which imo is a pretty vital footnote towards fully understanding him.

Should have never been a prime summer blockbuster release lol
The advertising for Disclosure Day has badly managed expectations in a way that's going to leave a lot of people walking out of a very good movie feeling very disappointed

Sad to say that DISCLOSURE DAY didnāt land for me. The two freshest angles with the most tension (spiritual upheaval and the CSA-ish trauma in the house) dead-end before they form a cohesive idea. Even seems oversold as another Spielberg skeleton key. Sloppy, flat, disappointing.

No one mentioning how the first thing Jane asks upon first seeing the images of the extraterrestrials in Disclosure Day, before even asking if theyāre human, is if theyāre children.

Empathy is not an inherently positive thing. Itās also quite dangerous and can be used for some pretty dark purposes.
To me, the only worthwhile reading of Disclosure Day, especially its ending, is one not of embracing, but one of warning. But idk what that says about meā¦.

The positive reviews just taking that ending in a very surface level way and calling it a āleap of faithā makes little sense to me personally. I have yet to read anything from people on here who loved it that actually articulates that perspective in a way thatās convincing to me.
