I really enjoyed Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans. It is a semi-autobiographical film that tells the story of a young boy (him)growing up in the 1950s. The film is full of nostalgia and heart, and it offers a unique perspective on the American dream. The portion that really resonated with me was the story of overcoming bullying and the emphasis on creativity. I was bullied relentlessly growing up. The thing that I dug was the observations he made as a young creator and filmmaker. As an African American creator and burgeoning filmmaker, I was particularly drawn to the story. The film's depiction of a working-class family resonated with me, and I appreciated the way that Spielberg explored themes of identity, belonging, and the power of storytelling. One of the things that I loved most about The Fabelmans was its authenticity. Spielberg doesn't shy away from the challenges that his characters face, but he also celebrates their triumphs. The film is a reminder that even during adversity, we can always find hope. That celebrations of triumph is what I attempt to emulate every day. The Fabelmans has had a profound impact on my life as a creator. The film has inspired me to tell my own stories, and it has given me the confidence to believe that my voice matters. Every day it seems like I'm finding inspiration to keep raising my voice. I am grateful to Steven Spielberg for sharing his story with the world, and I know that The Fabelmans will continue to inspire others for years to come. Here are some specific ways that The Fabelmans has influenced my life as a learning African American creator and filmmaker:
