Spielberg's parents split up when he was 19.

Spielberg's mother, portrayed by Michelle Williams, is the heart of the film. He's the son of a computer engineer – just like Spielberg – and a mother who is described as a free spirit. 'The Fabelmans' is a coming-of-age story about a young boy's obsession with making movies, just like Spielberg. Spielberg said making his latest movie was cathartic, even joking, 'What have I just done? Has this been $40 million of therapy? Whoever spends $40 million in therapy to make a movie?' Director Steven Spielberg with CBS News' Lesley Stahl. 'Every one of my movies is a personal movie,' said Spielberg, the director of such blockbusters as 'Jaws,' 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and 'Jurassic Park.' 'I don't make films that I don't consider to have something of myself left behind in them.' He also shares with CBS News' Lesley Stahl a family secret he carried for decades, in an interview for 'CBS Sunday Morning,' to be broadcast November 6 on CBS and streamed on Paramount+. In his latest, the semi-autobiographical 'The Fabelmans,' Spielberg explains how his childhood love of movies led to his storied career as a director. In creating the film, Chung pulled from his own childhood growing up in Arkansas, and “Minari” works because it feels so personal as you root for a fragmented family weathering resentment and heartbreak in an uplifting and very universal tale.Steven Spielberg has made some of the biggest movie blockbusters in history, and all of them, he says, are personal. Interestingly, Soonja is arguably the most American of the entire Yi bunch as she yells at the TV while watching pro wrestling, pounds Mountain Dew and swears during card games with children. Kim is a precocious delight but Youn is the real deal: The actress known as “the Meryl Streep of South Korea” delivers a touching, electric performance that will win over many fans on these shores. Yeun also plays straight man to Will Patton, whose wild-eyed, staunchly devout Paul helps Jacob on the farm, blessing the fruits of their labor and even exorcising an “evil” drawer.Īs serious as “Minari” gets, Chung fosters a great sense of humor, especially between the wily pair of Soonja and David. Yeun, who executive produces the film alongside Brad Pitt, impresses in a complex, understated turn. Jacob has blinders on when it comes to grasping his own brass ring as the family assimilates into their Bible Belt surroundings (plus deals with some casual racism), and Yeun gives him orneriness and later an important vulnerability in key scenes with Han as tensions come to a head between Jacob and Monica.
