This awards ceremony for films and television series, held at sunrise on January 10 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel (in Beverly Hills, California), takes place the movie of The FablesDirected by Steven Spielberg, as one of the big winners of the evening. In addition to winning the Best Drama Film award, he also won the Steven Spielberg Statuette for Best Director, scooping up two of the top awards of the night.

next to the movie Banshees of Inisherin by Martin McDonaghwho won awards for Best Comedy, Best Screenplay and Best Actor in a Comedy for Colin Farrell, The Fables has been the main protagonist of this 80th edition of the Golden Globes. In what could be the prelude to the Oscars, which will be held on March 12, 2023, this Steven Spielberg movie has been recognized by critics and audiences for -in our opinion- these reasons, which will allow us to see the work of this acclaimed director when premiere in Spain on February 10:

The Fables are a portrait (with nuances) of the childhood and youth of Steven Spielberg. It is set in the late 1950s and early 1960s – the director was born on December 18, 1946 – and the plot is set in Arizona where he lived with his parents and siblings – although he was born in Cincinnati, city ​​in the US state of Ohio.

This movie, released in November 2022 in the US, tells the story of a boy named Sammy Fabelman, the son of an artist mother and a computer engineer father, who expresses his feelings or concerns through films and forges his own identity. It should also be noted that the plot revolves around the discovery of a huge family secret by Sammy.

Steven Spielberg is son of a pianist and restorer and an electrical engineer specialized in computers, hence the similarities with The Fables. In addition, since he was 12 years old, he already made his first recording in the film world, making the first 8 mm shorts with his father’s film camera.

This work by the famous director who plays the main role here not only tells some details of his personal life, but is also the reflecting the experiences, feelings or concerns of his generation in that time. In the 20th century, it was more and more young people who broke into the social scene to change society, and this is what Steven Spielberg wants to reflect in The Fables.

He did it through the cinema, but there were many disciplines that young people gradually changed until they reached what we have today. In addition, this award-winning film at the Golden Globes is also a reflection of how it was produced. that process of transition from childhood to adulthoodand the changes that this entails.

Another attraction of The Fables is the cast, starring established actors who already have experience on the big screen. For starters, Michelle Williams plays her mother. This actress, known and awarded for her roles in Blue Valentine, all the money in the world or My week with Marilyn, plays an essential character in the story, such as Steven Spielberg’s mother played a vital role during their childhood and youth.

As his father, we play the actor Paul Dano, who has more than 20 years of experience in the world of cinema and who is recognized for films such as the latest installment of Batman, little Miss Sunshine or LIE. We have to give these two leading roles young actor who gives life to the character of Sammy FabelmanGabriel LaBelle, who at the age of 20 has already been awarded for his roles in various films and series.

The cast of this drama film, which will be shown in cinemas in our country on February 10, will be completed by Julia Butters, Judd Hirsch and David Lynch. In addition, it should be emphasized that Tony Kushner was in charge of creating the script together with Spielberg, with whom he already worked on hits like lincoln or Munich.
