When Sammy transfers his personal worries into fretful, film-related dreams, Mom realises that a train set and a home-movie camera may prove therapeutic, allowing her troubled son to restage his primal trauma, thereby owning it.

The Fabelmans" ends before it can get to the now-legendary story of Spielberg directing Joan Crawford in an episode of "Night Gallery" at age 19 but substitutes a moment just as thrilling: Spielberg's brief meeting with his hero Ford (played in a masterful stroke of casting by David Lynch) who takes nearly as long lighting a cigar as he does speaking to his visitor. Of course, there's a lot more to Spielberg's personal story.Crafting the World of The Fabelmans – Key crew personnel, including the production designer, costume designer, director of photography, and editor discuss their contributions to the film and their working relationship with Spielberg.

It's not just in the genes, the psyche, the conditioning, or the trauma. It's mysterious. It arrives out of nowhere like the shark in " Jaws," the UFOs in " Close Encounters of the Third Kind," the miracles and disasters of "War of the Worlds" and the Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park movies, and the eruptions of gore and cruelty in Spielberg's R-rated historical epics.

This conflict will wrestle inside an artist forever. As a teenager, Sammy (now played by Gabriel LaBelle) moves on to bigger cameras, creates ever more elaborate special effects, motivates his actor friends to elicit emotion, edits his footage to maximize visual impact, and devises techniques to enhance production values. Burt regards Sammy’s involvement with film as a mere hobby but Mitzi recognizes his need to express his creativity and never wavers in her support. A brief visit by Mitzi’s Uncle Boris (Judd Hirsch) is significant. A colorful character with an atypical past, Boris recognizes a kindred spirit in Sammy and encourages him to pursue his dream. Later, in editing his footage of a family trip, Sammy discovers an unpleasant truth and recognizes that film can reveal secrets.
