Sammy’s successful, scientific father, <strong>Burt (Paul Dano)</strong>, supports Sammy’s work, but views it as an unserious hobby. By 16, Sammy is both the primary observer and archivist of his family story. When his family moves west, Sammy discovers a heartbreaking truth about his mother that will redefine their relationship and alter the future for himself and his entire family. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/cca59dce-8899-479e-9333-ba4196955f2c_the fabelmans.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Marvelous Times at the Movies Await with Ayala Malls Cinemas’ ‘A-List Series’"/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">The Fabelman family<span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none"><em> Ayala Malls Cinemas  </em></span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/15846fac-d6cc-4560-aa45-0d397ce97480_gabriell labelle as sammy in the fabelmans.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Marvelous Times at the Movies Await with Ayala Malls Cinemas’ ‘A-List Series’"/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Gabriel LaBelle as Sammy Fabelman<span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none"><em> Ayala Malls Cinemas  </em></span></span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>Co-written with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright <strong>Tony Kushner</strong>, “The Fabelmans” is a cinematic memory of the forces, and family, that shaped Spielberg’s life and career.  “At a very young age, something happened, which is reflected in our film, where I stopped perceiving my mother as a parent, and began looking upon her as a person,” says Spielberg. “I think all kids at a certain point in their lives have these moments where they realize, ‘Hey, my parents have been people all this time.’ I had that epiphany when I was 16 years old.”</p><div><br/></div><p>“The Fabelmans” is unquestionably a fitting title to Ayala Malls Cinemas’ ‘A-List Series’ and best viewed on the big screen with its highly inspiring and moving portrait of Spielberg and his family especially his parents, infused with the same humanistic grace that marks all his films.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/ee5403f4-d617-464c-999f-df4227c37b76_chloe east &amp;
