"1941" is my favorite film of Spielberg's. It may not be his most personal movie, but it's the one in which he shows the most of his inner life.
In "1941," Spielberg lets his manic, movie-loving inner child loose and avows far more about his love of movies than was prudent, displaying his cinematic id.
The film's premise is a cheerful comedy about the U.S. entering WWII, inspired by civil-defense mobilizations in California, reflecting a playful tone amidst historical events.
Despite its creative intentions, "1941" was panned by critics, representing a disappointment for Spielberg after the success of "Jaws" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
