With his latest feature, I found out (thanks to the marvel that is Letterboxd) that I have seen 30 films helmed by Steven Spielberg, tying for the most I’ve seen by anyone (tied with the only person I consider superior, Alfred Hitchcock).
Why bring this up? As arguably the most well-known filmmaker of the last half-century, one might think that we would see some familiarities in Spielberg’s work by now. When his most recent film, Disclosure Day, started up, I knew nothing outside of what everyone else did: that it had to do with Aliens. Imagine my surprise when the first thing we see is…well, not at all what I could have had on my radar (and certainly nothing I can remember seeing in a Spielberg film before). My guy still knows how to surprise.
Nothing else to say
