E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
1h 55m / PG / Sci-Fi, Family
*************************************
The story goes that director Steven Spielberg was inspired to make E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial by memories that surfaced during the long and lonely Raiders of the Lost Ark shoot in Tunisia. Spielberg recalled an imaginary alien friend that he had made up while coping with his parents’ divorce, a friend he called a “brother [he] never had and a father that [he] didn’t feel [he] had anymore.” So, through that lens, E.T. is a story about an otherworldly creature who connects with an innocent child (who has also lost his father) and shows him the magic of a world beyond his imagination.
