As we age, most of us have a tendency to look back at our lives. And when you’re a filmmaker, that tendency becomes an attempt to meld memory with art. This week Dan Webster, Mary Pat Treuthart and Nathan Weinbender discuss a pair of movies by first-rate directors who examine their pasts by imbuing a fair amount of fact with an overlay of calculated fiction. Steven Spielberg does so with “The Fabelmans” and James Gray does so with “Armageddon Time.”
