I sensed the possibility of Speilberg being liberated by maturity, in ET, but he has too much of a sensitivity and prelidiction for commerciality that he cant suppress or control. He seems frustrated and unable to maintain a delicate balance, between anything, really.

I'm sure he secretly envies Lucas' ability to tell a geniunely original and creative story.

Sometime after, "ET", "Close Encounters" and "Always", he tried to hard to please everyone in the Hollywood infrastructure. He can never really go back and capture that special magic, that Lucas always seems to tap into.
