Title: 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial'
Release Year: 1982
Director: Steven Spielberg
Cast: Dee Wallace, Peter Coyote, Henry Thomas, Drew Barrymore, Robert MacNaughton.
Plot: After being abandoned in Planet Earth, a little outer space creature, 10-year-old Elliott finds him and together with his brothers tries to find a way to find it a way to return before police and scientists can find them.
Review: Another Spielberg movie, this time it's an unquestionable success. There's nothing about the endearing extra-terrestrial story that I would like to change. Add to this that the film is a remarkable technological achievement and that it is based on the imaginary friend that Spielberg created after his parents' divorce and it's difficult not to praise him
The friendly E.T. quickly establishes a beautiful relationship with the children of the family, especially connecting with Elliott, who considers him a friend instead of just a weird creature and wants to protect him from the greedy hands of scientists or press. As many times, only children understand the real meaning of a friendship, far beyond the economic and scientific interests that the particular situation may involve.
But drama reaches the story when the extra-terrestrial gets sick, and nearly dies. It's quite tough to see Elliott shouting at the doctors and claiming that they are killing E.T. So when it eventually recovers and they escape to the forest, you wish nothing but their mission will triumph.
In the end, E.T. says goodbye to his human friends, while in tears the children let their curious companion go. At this point I was already crying; the story is so beautifully made... It's evident that Spielberg made it carefully as it was also part of his childhood, a world that adults don't understand, as they don't understand the friendship between an outer-space creature and a 10-year-old human being (usually understood as a tale of tolerance and mutual understanding in which even the most different creatures can help each other).
