Foundational to a Spielbergian sensibility is unabashed wonder—an awe-inducing image that, when seen on a 30-foot cinema screen, can truly astonish. Despite Spielberg's latest summer blockbuster, @Disclosure Day, being about visitors from the stars, its moment of wonder is anything but otherworldly. The moment that will stick with theater goers far after the lights have gone up is the scene when humans see atrocities on their phones and begin to gasp. Bloodied, bruised and disemboweled alien bodies and a government that knew the truth. In showing us an audience moved to tears by these images, Spielberg hopes to remind us of the power of cinema to engender empathy—something distinctly human. Matthew Rodriguez explores the significance of the film's big reveal at the link in bio.
