What E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial Is About
Steven Spielberg's 1982 film follows Elliott in the suburbs. He hides the alien he finds in the yard inside his house and tells no one. The alien wants to go home. The film tells the story entirely at a child's height; the adults' faces are kept out of frame for a long stretch, and the narrative builds the government's intervention as the threat. The house of a family whose parents have separated is the film's ground. The music and the closing section are often cited in film history. The tone is emotional. Who it's for: those who like family films and American cinema of the eighties. Who it's not for: viewers uncomfortable with emotional emphasis; the film uses it openly.
