 | | Spielberg, an admitted "control freak," was busy tailoring his history from the beginning, lying about his age so that he could get credit for making his first movie before he hit 21. |
 | | Spielberg's other sorrow, his parents' divorce, is reflected, says McBride, in the director's frequent images of broken families, visible from one end of the director's work to the other. |
 | | At his worst, Spielberg's the Norman Rockwell of the movies, a filmmaker for the reading-impaired and the television-addicted, fascinated by the homily, the food fight, the swelling violins, the fat-boy joke and the resurrection. |
