This is in my top five favorite movies of all time. The story, the acting, the Aesthetic of the film, the characters I just love it. I watch it every Halloween and at least twice a year.
2022. The 40th anniversary of E.T. Please do a Special Blu Ray with the 1982 theatrical release and the 20th anniversary edition with all the goods from the 1996 special edition Laserdisc
I'm just home from watching this in the cinema with my Mum and daughter. My Mum brought me to the cinema to watch it when it came out. So special to watch it 40 years later with her. It was just as magical and emotional
ET is classic cinema of 1982 I am glad I.was 16 when it was released in theaters I saw the movie 16 times I am glad there is no sequel to ET the movie is a classic
I'm proud to say I was born in 1982 when this movie was release, I'm gonna share the same 40th birthday year. I think ET has aged better than me though....
Steven Spielberg has indeed stated that E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial was inspired in part by his own parents’ divorce. He used the story of E.T. to explore themes of family, responsibility, and filling a void in one’s heart. As for the claim that E.T. was stolen from Satyajit Ray’s work, it’s a complex issue. The script for Ray’s film, “The Alien”, did circulate in Hollywood, and there are similarities between it and E.T. However, Spielberg has denied these allegations, stating he was a high school student when “The Alien” script was being shared. While it’s clear that both works share thematic elements, proving direct plagiarism can be challenging. It’s also worth noting that storytelling often involves building upon existing ideas and themes. Without concrete evidence, it’s difficult to definitively say whether E.T. was “stolen” from Ray’s work. Also, inspiration is not the same thing as stealing.
@@StaticBlaster Whats funny is one of the claims is that ET's design traits were directly lifted from Rays script. But when read how Rays original story of what the creature would look like its clear that Ray "stole" the idea of the creatures look from what had become the stereotypical alien look that from the time of the Roswell incident. Here is Rays description as he originally wrote it which sounds way more like the stereotypical alien look going back to the 1940's which bascially started around the time of the Roswell incident and became known as "The Greys". Rays description: "a cross between a gnome and a famished refugee child: large head, spindly limbs, a lean torso. Is it male or female or neuter?" Seems like Ray simply described the creature based on the look of The Greys so in essence he stole it from the pop culture of the early to mid 20th century. Steven also used more or less that same Grey look for his aliens in Close Encounters. The other common alien look tended to be something more reptilian. Seems like to a small extent Steven took the look of The Greys and loosely meshed it with the look of reptilian aliens to arrive at the ET look.
@@dylanmoore7902 I heard about it. And apparently he’s got a different team working with him. No Kathleen Kennedy, no Frank Marshall, not even Michael Kahn. I’m excited to see it, but I have a feeling Spielberg is thinking about retirement.
I love watching Spielberg direct kids. He understands that they are intuitive and wise.
He's magical..saddens me that one day he won't be here..He's the last of the Super Legend.i love him
It is amazing how Spielberg could create such a masterpiece. I don't think anyone else could ever or will ever make another ET. Perfection.
This classic film has stood the test of time and will continue to do so for the next centuries to come.
This footage is gold. True cinema history. Thanks for sharing!

I love how Spielberg understands children. Because he was one far before.
This movie is gonna be a remarkable 40 years old next year.

Stuff like this is just a grim reminder that real craftsmanship in movie making is dead.
This story is stolen from Satyajit Ray . (Indian Oscar winner director)

I bet that was not the only time he had his hands on his shoulders.
What's wrong with hands on the shoulders???
Grow up he has 7kids of his own
Anyone else catch Spielberg's Freemason gesture..?
Probably not.
