I’d forgotten that Gabriel LaBelle‘s Sammy Fabelman (aka young Steven Spielberg) conveys a joy face** while twirling around twice.
I’d also forgotten that John Williams‘ score sounds a little too peppy and jaunty — a tad reminiscent of Franz Waxman‘s Rear Window score at the very end.
Honestly? I’m kinda okay with the center-horizon shot. Or at least I didn’t find it “boring as shit.”
The Fabelmans has my favorite ending of the year, the fact that this is verbatim what John Ford said to Spielberg makes it even better lmao pic.twitter.com/28JTdTsbzu

** the satisfaction that any fledgling director would feel after meeting and getting instructed by a showbiz legend.
Put together a comparison between the final scene of The Fabelmans with *that* cameo and Steven Spielberg telling the John Ford story to Jon Favreau in an interview from 2011 (1/2) pic.twitter.com/oWsNhiNqHE
