Spielberg's second draft of E.T. does no special harm to our memories.
Despite some new footage ad digital enhancements, Spielberg's beloved alien fable is very much a product of its times, reflecting the technology and zeitgeist of 1982.
There's something so satisfying in knowing that a rubber shape can mean more to people than a lifetime of computer generated imagery.
I have a confession to make: I didn't particularly like E.T. the first time I saw it as a young boy. That is because - damn it! - I also wanted a little alien as a friend!
Twenty years after the original release of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, director Steven Spielberg runs his own studio but has yet to make a more personal film.
It is an exceptionally visual film and an exceptionally emotional film, but the kind that most of us don't mind being manipulated by.
Like the film's almost anthropologically detailed realization of early-'80s suburbia, it's significant without being overstated.
If you haven't seen the film lately, you may be surprised at the variety of tones in Spielberg's work. Much of it is funny, but there are also some startling, surrealistic moments...
E.T. phone home. Tres palabras que arrastraron al mundo a la fiebre extraterrestre más enternecedora que jamás haya vivido.
When a movie has stuck around for this long, you know there's something there. It's that good.
Like Peter Pan, who also took children flying until it was time for them to grow up, E.T. represents the wonder of childhood, of a time that we must all leave behind.
(E.T.) stands as a perfect movie-going experience that I don’t believe will ever show signs of age.
It's encouraging that E.T. is finally being called what it is: an American classic.
E.T. has lost none of its power to move an audience in the past two decades.
The most wistful, the most heartbreaking film [Spielberg] has ever made.
