When we see the first movie he ever saw in a theater, were those clips of the actual movie he saw? It looked more like animated versions of that. If so, why wouldn't they use the original movie?

Is the real Logan still around?

Is it believable the speech that Logan gives at the end, analyzing his own emotions? I mean, I believe that he could indeed be feeling that way, but I wonder if he was really emotionally mature enough to understand all of that.

What nickname did the bullies really make up for Spielberg? It couldn't have been Bagelman.

How did his real life parents ever get together, being seemingly so different?

The answer to your second to last question is in this article

My guess on the last question is she was young, had just given up on her dreams to be a concert pianist, and decided to marry the smart guy with good career prospects so she could have a nice house, a nice car, and smart kids. Probably her parents approved of him too, but would have not approved of mediocre Benny who couldn’t get a job on his own, and was not ever going to get an offer from IBM. Even Burt’s Mom scolds her grandkids for calling Benny an uncle, since he is just an employee of her son.
