Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day may look like another first-contact story on the surface, but I believe it's actually the culmination of themes he's been exploring for decades.
From E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind to The Fabelmans, Spielberg has repeatedly returned to ideas of childhood, innocence, empathy, communication, and humanity's place in a larger universe. Disclosure Day brings all of those ideas together in a way that feels uniquely personal.
In this video, I explore how the film connects to Spielberg's upbringing, why Margaret and Daniel represent two sides of his worldview, and why the movie's final word may be the key to understanding its true message.
