Hi 👋

[@MelissaG31]

ET ,PHONE HOME 🏡 💕 ❤️ UEST

[@saffii1035]

In 1982, my Dad took me and my brother to see this movie at the cinema. I was 5 years old and months earlier had lost my Mum to breast cancer. Instantly, this movie became my favourite and many a night my Dad put on the soundtrack (a 48" vinyl) on his old record player in the hall for me and my brother to listen to as we drifted off to sleep. I'm now 46 and yesterday my Dad, my brother and I went to watch it in London with a full philharmonic orchestra playing in sync. It was beyond emotional🥲I laughed and cried with my 5 year old heart watching it through my 46 year old eyes. This film and soundtrack was my saviour throughout my childhood and continues to be to this very day. 'I'll be right here....'💖

I saw this in the theatre when it came out. I was 17 at the time, and bawled my eyes out. Well, I'm 60 now and STILL cry when I watch this movie. beautiful detail in the acting, notice Henry Thomas' expression at a bit before 40 seconds into the video... he's looking up with awe, like everyone else, when suddenly his expression changes to one of sadness, the realization that E.T. will be leaving. That just makes the "Come." "Stay." interaction so much more impactful.

[@deckofcards87]

​​@@adriannicolini6427I disagree, there hasn't been a movie like ET in decades. No blockbusters as good, anyway. Christopher Nolan makes impressive cinematic experiences but he's yet to do anything as heart-warming or optimistic as E.T., The Wizard of Oz, Singin' In The Rain, Casablanca or the first Star Wars. There's tons of shallow films about love and wishy washy stuff, but GREAT films like this are a relic of the past. The ones still being talked about years later.

Normally a composer creates the music to the edited movie scenes. When Spielberg heard this piece, he recut the ending to fit JW’s music… That’s how good it is! ❤

[@renestuder515]

Yes and no. Williams found it quite challenging to match the soundtrack to the film at the ending, so Spielberg told him to ignore what happens on screen and conduct the orchestra like he would in a concert. Williams did and Spielberg recut the scene to match his music.

No one could have possibly predicted that the young director of " Duel " in 1971 would become one of the most important creative forces in cinema history.

[@Camop-iz9kt]

Thanks to some local radio people I knew, I saw E.T. two weeks before it opened at a sneak preview. It is to this day, the most emotional experience I've ever had in a movie theater. No one had a dry face at this scene!

[@Breadking100]

Amazing. I cant only imagine desperately trying to hold back tears in that scenario, only to completely break down at the crescendo when E.T. says "I'll be right here" and fully transform into a blubbering embarrassment lol

[@radicalcrash]

I think the key to this scene is Mary dropping to her knees when ET and Elliott hug. It's the universal acknowledgement recognized in film that kids will think, feel, and experience things parents will both have understood because they once felt it, and forgotten because it happens to us all when we grow up. That she's been left by their father to be the real parent only adds to the power. Dee Wallace's powerful performance in this moment is the seal to the deal that makes a gorgeous movie so much better than it already was. This was a miracle of cinema.

There's actually a deleted scene right after this one before the ending credits where it cuts to the following night at Elliott's house. Elliott, Michael, and Michael's friends are all in Elliott's room, and Elliott looks up into the heavens to say one last goodbye to E.T. And then they all play Dungeons and Dragons in Elliott's room with Elliott as the game master. The camera them pans back from Elliott's room and up onto the roof of the house with the communicator sitting on top of it to let the audience know that there could be a time where Elliott and E.T. would someday meet each other again.

[@bradyryan5105]

I'm kinda glad they left that out, but it's good to know such a scene exists. There is another deleted scene which shows Dee Wallace smoking a blunt in the bathroom before going out to see the kids Halloween costumes. That explains her unusual wild behavior lol

[@fabulousfrance]

Good they left it out. Spielberg refused any sequel of E.T. It's definitely not necessary, the studios put pressure on him to write one, so he wrote a poor one where bad E.T's with red eyes would invade Earth, so Elliot would call E.T for help. Of course this idea was rejected but recycled by Spielberg years later on. It became: The Gremlins
