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.
