**SPOILERS**

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

So I have never actually seen this movie until now. I knew the basic story and that it is about a stranded alien wanting to go back home and kids helping him.

My initial thoughts were how much it reminded me of another 80's movie that came a few years later, The Goonies. It was a fun romp, albeit at times a bit slow for my jaded, adult cynicism, but I still am glad to have finally seen it.

I was surprised at the language, which wasn't what I was expecting. For a PG movie that has been a staple for many a childhood, there were a few colorful words. But. I suppose it is in keeping with the time-period, location, and age group of the kids.

It was fun to see a fairly realistic family: older brother who picks on his siblings but is ultimately there for them, middle kid who is oft left out and to his own devices, baby of the family who.. well, is the baby and is doted upon. And then the mother, who is raising her kids alone because dad left and went to Mexico.

And I just have to say, I -love- their house. I mean, that closet is like a club house! And all the stained glass? Really nifty.

All during the movie, I kept hearing Star Wars. Of course, John Williams did the music and many composers still have their own signature flair. I always hear Pirates of the Caribbean when I watch Black Hawk Down or Gladiator. Also, I enjoyed the few nods to Star Wars throughout the movie. But even though I was reminded of another movie, the music for this one is definitely unique and iconic.

But my favorite thing about the movie was the acting. It was really good! Normally kids are.. hit or miss. But everyone felt pretty sincere, as if we just were a fly on the wall in the house of this typical 80's Californian family.

Also, the animatronics were pretty complex. I won't pretend to know everything that goes into something like that, but I've seen enough to be able to appreciate how detail-oriented they were with every movement. I mean, in one moment, E.T.'s eyebrows move, his throat expands whilst breathing, eyes move, cheeks raise... It's a lot, and looks fluid, especially for the time.

There were a few things that I questioned and didn't feel like were answered. More like a "Just go along with it" type of thing. Like, why did E.T. get sick in the first place? And what made him better? Someone told me "love made him better." but Elliot was loving E.T. the whole time, especially when they were both on the tables. So why did E.T. die, only to come back 10 minutes later? Also, the cop with the shotgun pointed at the kids... wha-- that doesn't even seem like something that'd happen...

But again, jaded, adult cynicism aside, it was a pretty good movie.
