A video essay called ?The Faces of Spielberg? got a lot of attention recently. It?s a fun viewing experience, and the essayist makes his point intelligently and elegantly. Still, I couldn?t understand, watching it, why a propensity by a highly commercial filmmaker to include in his films religiously lit close-up shots of the human face looking up in wonder would be considered anything more than axiomatic. (One could do a much more, uh, interesting essay on ?The Faces of David Lynch? in a few hours.) In Spielberg?s hands, this kind of shot is a time-tested way to tell us, the audience, that he?s about to show us something wondrous. It works, of course. But it should be taken for what it is?an achievement in emotional manipulation, not great art.
