E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) | MOVIE REACTION | DevinG HAD to See This!!

[@JangTheKim]

I love that you guys are going down the old movie path on Disneeeeeeeey Date Nighhhhhhhhhhht! These older movies paved the way for many of today’s movies. This movie is so heart felt and beautiful just like you two as a couple sharing y’all’s experience. Thanks for inviting us on your continued journey.

[@dsscam]

E.T is NOT a Disney movie and he hasn't even been bought by Corrupt Disney.

[@JemJam2976]

This movie is the reason why Reese's Pieces has become so popular.

[@terryconnelly484]

The beautiful excellent taste always helps as well I've always been a Reese's fan No matter what Type

[@BM-hb2mr]

Of yall ever watch Stanger things then you will see alot of this movie in it. Especially characters. And Devon yes those were headphones on that boys head lol

[@andresnacianceno2007]

Drew Barrynore did an amazing job. As a child during filming, she actually believed E.T. was real. She would talk to him during breaks, and the director had someone there to make sure E.T. would respond. She would try to dress E.T. because it was cold on set. Any scenes where E.T. was in bad shape, she wasn't allowed to see E.T. I appreciate you two doing this movie.

[@Berto2K]

E.T. started walking towards the kid in the Yoda costume because ET species are part of the Star Wars universe. They have a cameo in a scene of Episode 1. So it was a "familiar face" so to speak. Both movies done by Spielberg.

[@allenmccreary2359]

The score by John Williams is one of the greatest of all times. You can feel it throughout the movie and the climax is like none other

[@JemJam2976]

Henry Thomas was in Legends of the Fall with Brad Pitt. He played Samuel

[@gmunden1]

There is a reunion between Elliott and E.T. in an Xfinity ad for Christmas. It's available on KZbin.

[@bodie463]

I saw this when it came out & everytime I watch it I feel 8yrs old again. I cry everytime, just magical ❤

[@howardbalaban7051]

It's a movie that, for an entire generation, keeps us feeling young. A classic in every sense of the word.

[@brucethrasher8551]

You MUST watch the ET Christmas commercial. ET and an adult Elliot reunite! It might bring a tear to your eyes.

[@DannyBedo]

Fun fact, ET recognizes the little kid dressed up as Yoda and because of that reference ET’s people can be seen in the galactic senate in Star Wars (episode 2 I think) 🤘🏾also ET getting drunk is classic 😂😂😂

[@ianhill8345]

Great reaction guys to a 80s classic bring back memories

[@madeline2722]

This is one of my top favorite movies. A part of my childhood. ❤❤ I have an ET themed jean jacket. I had found two pins original from the '80s still in the package that I ended up putting on the jacket.

[@disneydatenite]

Thats so cool!!

[@55giantsfan22]

My sister is so scared of et, i always send her pics whenever i see it haha

[@lydiaquinn510]

Aww your evil lol my sister would do that to me too if she could because I use to be scared of him.

[@55giantsfan22]

@@lydiaquinn510 haha

[@disneydatenite]

Hope you sent our link! 😂

[@55giantsfan22]

@disneydatenite i told her u guys were cool and to check you out 👍

[@disneydatenite]

@55giantsfan22 thank you!! 😊

[@eddyhung7497]

i remember watching this movie in a theater when i was only 9 years old...now I'm 51

[@JemJam2976]

Before the E.T. ride closed down at Universal Studios, I rode the ride and bought me an E.T. doll with the red jacket on.

[@tamarasmith9060]

ET didn't really die, he just went into a coma so deep the doctors couldn't detect a heartbeat or brainwaves. I guess it was a reflex once he was so sick, so he could concentrate on just healing himself & reach his mind out to the people on his ship & confirm they got his message he was alive & to meet at the same spot. To do all that he had to temporarily cut off his empathic link to Elliot too. They never confirm if his illness was completely due to depression or if he was reacting to something in the environment & his homesickness made it worse, but it seems his body got too far out of whack & he needed a deep rest to reboot & he couldn't do that while connected to Elliot. Speaking of Elliot, they don't say it out loud in the movie, I think there's just a fraction of a second glance at the mailbox, but the writer made his family's last name start with a T, so his initials are E.T. as an inside joke.😂

[@Dmilewis]

I always thought it was because he was used to nitrogen air and when he went into the cooler the nitrogen recharged him so to speak.

[@cookingwithfriends1577]

How did you guys not cry in this movie, I was SOBBING

[@disneydatenite]

I teared up a bit but I was also surprised I didn’t cry harder! I know I did when I first saw it!

[@NDRP-uh6fs]

I know! are you both dead inside or what? 💀

[@dsscam]

E.T has nothing to do with Disney. 7:30 "Bowl Haircut:"-inspiration for Stranger Things- Will's haircut. Stranger Things is brilliant for having aspects of ALL the 80s classics.

[@FunnyCrazyProduction]

@DateNiteReactions The entire objective for ET and his crew was to collect samples of organic life on Earth - ET went exploring - got left behind. The story we see with Elliot up to the ship coming back, ET was given flowers from Gertie, the little sister, he walked up the ramp with the flowers, his objective was completed, he got his sample of organic life on Earth. That is ET's objective to collect organic life and when he was rescued, he completed his objective. The spaceship was full of organic stuff and plants and such. It takes a few watches to see it - everyone is involved with the story of Elliot. ET got sick because he was homesick and it got worse, then when he knew they were coming back, he sprung back to life!

[@mikeshoe74]

Great information. however, I always assumed that E.T. couldn't handle this planet's atmospheric conditions, and the further the space craft got away from the planet, the worse his condition got.

[@magicninja31]

​@mikeshoe74 E.T.'s species is a super organism...but it isn't a hive-mind...it's more like a hive heart or hive-soul...their life force is connected...you see this in the very first scene when they all light up at the same time. When they leave he is cut off from that hive...so he has to latch onto another being...Elliot...but it isn't the same...he needs his people...literally..to survive...when they 'get back in range' he feels better.

[@GregBreden]

@FunnyCrazyProduction That's exactly what I thought when I saw it in 1982 and still do. He got sick when he thought they weren't coming back. Today I assume their ship was pretty fast to be able to travel to different planets to collect all those samples. Bearing in mind the signal that ET and Elliott were sending was radio waves so it took time to get to them. For example in a day and a half the signal would have travelled 24 billion miles. Just saying for the sake of argument that it took half a day for the ship to come back to arrive 2 nights after the signal was sent, that's damn fast considering Voyager 2 is 12 billion miles away right now and that launched in 1977. Who can say the exact timings involved and where the ship was in between but even as a kid in 1982 I was thinking something like that. It made perfect sense. By the way, plants and plant life was a focus because Spielberg thought of ET as a plant based life form. I've always adored this film.

[@snakeeyes7507]

Now have him watch the E.T. superbowl commercial.

[@OSVS_Mike]

Originally, they wanted use M&M's instead of Reese's Pieces. M&M's declined because they didn't think the film would be a success. I am sure they kicked themselves in the arse!

[@terryconnelly484]

This was close encounters of the second kind

[@Kerppu68]

In those days the only way to have a connection to your home planet was using "a phone" in case your family members had forgotten where you were left behind

[@kaleemdin7963]

That is Drew Barrymore. She has her own talk show. Now.

[@gmunden1]

He great uncle was Lionel Barrymore, who played Mr. Potter from "It's A Wonderful Life."

[@gmunden1]

E.T. and Elliot had a symbiotic connection (biological interaction between distinct organisms). When E.T. went into torpor or sedation, then connection between them separated, Elliot's vital stats normalized. E.T.'s health is determined by the condition of the plant. The scientists and medical experts had to wear hazmat suits and sterile scrubs in order to keep the work area uncompromised. They tried to avoid cross-contamination in order to analyze tissue samples. I'm certain that they were able to secure organic matter to study later even though they let E.T. return home.

[@khalidcabrero6204]

As strange as it sounds, the Mexico exchange you missed was actually a socio-culturally important landmark in US history. ET was apparently the first major movie depicting a divorced family. Divorce was still a very touchy subject in America and was hardly mentioned, much less shown, in any movie. Kramer vs. Kramer, the first grown-up movie dealing with divorce head-on, had only been released a year or two earlier. So Spielberg's decision to portray a troubled "broken home" in a movie, and a children's movie to boot (where intact happy families or single parent widowers was de rigeur) was very daring. It was criticized at the time for "normalizing" divorce and family break-ups. But it was a conscious decision. The American family landscape had changed rapidly in the 1970s, and children living in divorced families was not a rarity anymore. Spielberg felt such kids needed a movie where they could see a home life they could identify with.

[@johnpittsii7524]

Hope you two are having an great and awesome weekend ❤

[@level10tenx81]

The 80s were not reckless, perverse and unsupervised as most reactors assume. It takes one who thinks it to see it that way. Parents who raised their children knew the time when to raise an adult. Look at childrens & teens youtube channels today.

[@laurakali6522]

Starman is a great one with Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen.

[@satyadasgumbyji8956]

I saw this in the theater at 11 yro. E.T. "dying" wrecked me then & has every time I've seen it since, including every reaction I've seen. Well, about time to get wrecked again!😅 See ya! 🤘🌎❤️

[@jonathansmith8672]

If you're wondering why they didn't show all the adult faces (Except for Elliot's mom) until the house gets invaded and quarantined? Steven Spielberg (Director) wanted this movie to take place through a kid's perspective. And to a little kid's POV, all the adults are villains and they don't have feelings, so we shouldn't see their faces.

[@kaleemdin7963]

E.T. was released in 1982.

[@paulsutubification]

OK, I will help you out. ET and Elliott were connected but when ET knew he had to die to call home, let go of the connection and therefore Elliott got better.

[@paulsutubification]

Elliott was Sam in legends of the fall.

[@Reefism]

There's an E.T. children story book that was produced by Quincy Jones and narrated by Michael Jackson. Jones and Jones worked on it at the same time they were making the Thriller album.

[@BM-hb2mr]

I waited for hours at the theater to see this. And this movie was epic fo its time we didnt have any movies other than star wars to compare. But we all thought this a movie before its time. The plant was healed by ET and when it started to die E. T started to die and when ET heeled Elliot felt his pain. Because that's when he healed him. That's what gave him the feeling from then on.

[@jermainehaslam5634]

Great reaction guys and definitely a classic, one of Spielberg's best for sure.

[@terryconnelly484]

If you have ever seen star wars episode 1. In The 1st senate appearance On the bottom right you will see a contingent of ETS Setting in their cubicle Steven and George always shouted out to each other in movies therefore yoda costume... Also young anakin says it's working just like Elliot screams

[@TeEastC]

It’s a good movie love your guys reactions

[@kaleemdin7963]

The dad is in Mexico.

[@BM-hb2mr]

I bet you all didn't notice who that girl was an elliot kiss in the glass room

[@BobbyMoore2-mp8wb]

Y’all should watch Space Jam

[@DannyBedo]

And men in black, and galaxy quest. Just any alien themed thing from before CGI

[@larasemerad2605]

ET was a botanist flowers and nature.

[@juliell2139]

I had a long latex ET finger that fit over my finger and would light up when I pressed tip against stuff. lol.

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

39:56 You should watch a movie called Firestarter starring Drew Barrymore. It is a Stephen King adaptation.

[@carace246]

Yo estaba muy pequeña cuando ví a E.T. en el cine, creo que de la edad de Drew Dios, ame mi peluche de E.T y también el E.T. articulado a baterías, con el dedo que se encendia con voz que decía :ET PHONE HOME. Aún los tengo, junto a mi otro peluche de Gizmo ... seee a mi mamá le encantaba comprarnos juguetes originales de las películas, bendita sea Y los afiches, también tengo el afiche, mi mamá conocía a presidente de la empresa distribuidora en mi país, ella le conto lo mucho que me gusto la película, como me llevo a verla en mi cumpleaños, y el envío a la casa afiches promocionales de los cines Aun conservo dos de ellos que mi mamá mando a enmarcar. En fin, lo que pensé cuando E.T. "moría" era que el alimentaba las flores con su energía vital, que esa noche en el bosque agarro un resfriado y era un virus de la tierra y eso lo estaba matando ( Bueno, mi mamá me contó la historia de la transmisión de Orson Wells, La Guerra de Los Mundos, como se asustó la gente y de que trataba el cuento que el relato, la muerte de extraterrestres por virus de la tierra) En fin, cuando en la película ví que el y Elliot estaban conectados pensé que Elliot se estaba muriendo con ET, al morir las flores y Elliot desconectarse, súper que ET se desconecto de el para no arrastrarlo con el a morir. Cuando ET revivió pensé, ok, estuvo muy enfermo, los doctores de la tierra no podían saber si estaba muerto o no con su tecnología, asi que solo empeoró, por las dudas se desconecto, y luego se recupero del virus, solo que pensaron que murió Entendí eso, y lo compare con un muy, muy, pero muy mal resfriado que había tenido en navidad Adore esa película, la fama de Spielberg como director está bien ganada

[@larasemerad2605]

Henry Thomas did Legend of the fall w/ Brad Pitt and X-mas Commercial.

[@kaleemdin7963]

Somehow. He is. I think

[@OSVS_Mike]

E.T. acting like a "Doll" in the closet was actually Robert Zemeckis' idea.

[@TimoneWeiner]

I've never seen ET and we're the same age

[@kaleemdin7963]

Jurassic Park was released in 1993. I think.

[@jeremysegers]

You guys need to go down the fast and furious saga like you did marvel
