What is Spielberg's central theory on storytelling?
My approach to storytelling is rooted in finding the universal human experience within any given scenario. I believe in presenting characters with clear motivations and relatable conflicts, allowing audiences to invest emotionally. The best stories, in my view, tap into fundamental emotions—fear, wonder, joy, loss—and explore them through compelling characters and engaging plots. It’s about building a bridge of empathy between the screen and the viewer.
