The first thing that came to mind was that ET and Close Encounters, 2 films I found greatly enjoyable, sold (or maybe sewed is more appropriate) the idea that aliens were benign beings. In ET the alien was vulnerable, childlike and cute, forced to hide away from evil authority figures. I wonder if Spielberg had Ann Frank in mind? In Close Encounters aliens are portrayed as benevolent overlords to be viewed with awe.
Given that, from a Christian perspective, aliens can only demons, and anecdotally this is borne out in stories of visitations being thwarted by calling on the name of Jesus. I think the demonic agenda here is in shaping a narrative for the acceptance of an antichrist figure. And, given some of the strong rumours about Spielberg, I think he has been used by demonic forces to that end.
I agree in so far as these themes appear in our culture, and that might have to do with how and why Spielberg chose those particular scripts, but if you watch ET, the writing is very much Christian European. It seems a little bit like a John Hughes movie, the way the characters are written and the positive morality of it. The Alien thing is true, but I don't think ET fetishizes the Alien as the stranger too much. It reminds me more of the Christian narrative of the encounter with the stranger in need of help, like Lot and the two angels. Aliens were just a hip thing since the 1960s, and ET put a twist on it. I can imagine that Spielberg also liked the script for Jewy reasons, but it's not a Jewish story. Schindler's List is a Holoprop movie, but even that one was written by an Armenian Orthodox I think, which is why the script works well. There are real conflicts of conscience and there is a form of catharsis in self-sacrifice. It's not Jewish writing.
Spielberg himself seems like an extremely Jewy guy to me, but those aren't the movies he makes for the most part. His movies are mostly set in a moral universe, and that's something you are rarely going to find in actual Jewish storytelling (Jews don't have trouble believing that morality and reality are meaningfully connected, and more a matter of framing and discourse manipulation, hence the Talmud). I think a number of them were written by David Koepp, who is a Catholic, presumably of German extraction. He also wrote Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, which is another movie that leans very heavily into Christian storytelling and aesthetics.
Jews do horror and science fiction well, because they are good at taking apart situations and narratives in a dissociated analytical way (like Ari Aster's Hereditary), but they have difficulty writing believable characters or get moral conclusions right.
@Maddox The Coens write interesting characters, but usually they are just amalgamations of American tropes they picked up along the way, and they aren't very immersive. The scripts are usually flooded with convolute and semi-ironic philosophical questions and allusions to literary archetypes. No Country was originally written by Cormack McCarthy, who I think he the most Jewish Irishman to ever put ink to paper. I mean to say he writes like a Jew straight from the yeshiva, where everything is very bleak and pointless and moral transgressions are piled on top of each other without rhyme of reason, and everybody remains without catharsis. Sort of like Kafka.
True Grit I think is their most Christian Coen movie, but there are a lot of movies where they comment very positively on the simple lives of Midwestern people and ascribe moral value to that simplicity, which is a Christian trope. In fact, problems usually tend to arise when the characters start trying to be like Jews, like making a quick buck, giving in to sexual temptation, and so on.
