MOVIE NEWS – Disclosure Day is closer to reality than fiction – the director says of his latest film. He believes this production is his most realistic UFO movie to date. In a recent interview, he explained that the film, which opens in Hungarian cinemas on June 10, is radically different from his earlier classics, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

Spielberg also revealed what his goal was in making the project: “I did not become interested in the subject as science fiction, but as a kind of summing up, in which I take stock of everything I think about this topic.”

The director emphasized that while his earlier works were shaped more by the flight of fantasy or were based on scientific speculation, Disclosure Day was inspired by real events. Recently, official naval and congressional reports about UFO sightings have become public, which made him realize that it was time to take the subject much more seriously. “I think in this situation it is now closer to fact than fiction,” the director emphasizes.

The film’s two protagonists (played by Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor) are connected in some way to alien beings, while certain government circles want to silence them at all costs. They fear that if it becomes known that aliens have long been visiting our planet, human civilization could be shaken to its foundations.

The first reviews of Disclosure Day are extremely positive, with many calling it Spielberg’s best film of the past twenty years. Drew Taylor, critic for TheWrap, put it this way: “I cannot remember the last time I loved a Spielberg film this much. It is thrilling, funny, deeply emotional, and the performances are flawless.”
