'I didn't make my swan song — I'm not going anywhere!' Steven Spielberg squashes rumors of retirement as his autobiographical family drama 'The Fabelmans' premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival to an extended standing ovation
is widely considered to be one the most significant American films of the past 30 years, faced anti-Semitism after the family moved from Arizona to California, which is touched upon in the movie. Still, Spielberg explained that he didn’t want to overstate the experience.
“The anti-Semitism [was] an aspect of my life, but it [wasn’t] any kind of a governing force in my life. But I am very, very aware of being an outsider early on,” he told TIFF CEO and moderator Cameron Bailey. “I have to also say that when I was bullied in my senior in high school, it was only two guys [as] represented in the film. The school did not bully me, the school is fine. … It was an aspect of my life I wanted to get into the movie, but it wasn’t meant to be the theme of the film at all.
Added Kushner: “It’s an aspect of his experience. … I like very much the sort of easy way that Jewishness lives in this movie. It’s a very profound part of Steven’s identity. But it’s a movie that’s about your people, rather than entirely exclusively about Jewish and Antisemitism or something. So it’s not a problem. It’s who they are. And I liked the way that it was in the film.”
As the brief Q&A came to a close, Bailey asked the auteur if anything will change in his process and career now that he has lifted this work of self-exploration off his chest. He responded that he wasn’t sure, but that the process brought him closer to his three sisters than he ever thought possible. He added: “I will say that that this film is for me is a way of bringing my mom and dad back.”
