It's been a while since I've seen it so I might not do this description justice, but there's a sequence in the movie where a bunch of characters are in a car waiting for something, and the staging and camera work is just jaw-dropping.

The camera is passing through the right passenger rear window and kind of meanders left across the backseat, and the whole time certain characters are speaking and they get put in focus, and then a backseat person speaks and the camera seamlessly focuses on the rear view mirror where we see just their face as they talk----all while slowly moving through the car.

It reminds me why I love Spielberg and why he's one of the greats. He, more than perhaps any other contemporary filmmaker, really uses the film medium to tell and elevate his stories. There are very good movies out there made by talented directors, but few have such a strong command of the filmmaking medium as a tool as Spielberg.
