spielberg-an-hbo-documentary-featuring-the-career-of-legendary-filmmaker-steven-spielbergSteven Spielberg has probably made too many movies by now to try and squeeze his entire life and work into a single movie. But the filmmaker seems expansive on his life and choices so the biographical  “Spielberg” (HBO, 8 pm.) contrasts memorable scenes with his own unexplored feelings — kids in peril, missing fathers, and then reunion with his dad in “Saving Private Ryan” and that third “Indiana Jones” movies.

Susan Lacy, who used to put her bio films on “American Masters,” lards up the 2 1/2 hour film with scenes we know too well and features just blips from lots of stars and family members who have things to add. Spielberg’s burden was being so popular that some people wouldn’t consider him an artist. But he got that too with “Shindler’s List.” It might have been better to spotlight single years in Spielberg’s output — 1992, when he put out both “E.T.” and “Poltergeist” or 1993 when he put out both “Shindler” and “Jurassic Park.” Glad they gave some time to his first big TV movie, “Duel” from 1971.
