Steven Spielberg’s extraordinary career redefined Hollywood, but his achievement goes far beyond shattered box office records. Rejecting the view of Spielberg as a Barnumesque purveyor of spectacle, Lester D. Friedman presents the filmmaker as a major artist who pairs an ongoing willingness to challenge himself with a widely recognized technical mastery. This new edition of Citizen Spielberg expands Friedman s original analysis to include films of the 2010s like Lincoln and Ready Player One. Breaking down the works by genre, Friedman looks at essential aspects of Spielberg s art, from his storytelling concerns and worldview to the uncanny connection with audiences that has powered his longtime influence as a cultural force. Friedman’s examination reveals a sustained artistic vision–a vision that shows no sign of exhausting itself or audiences after Spielberg’s nearly fifty years as a high-profile filmmaker.Incisive and discerning, Citizen Spielberg offers a career-spanning appraisal of a moviemaking icon.
