E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial	comment	E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is a 1982 Science Fiction film directed by Steven Spielberg, with the screenplay written by Melissa Mathison. By the end of its initial theatrical run (which ran from early June of 1982 into early June of 1983), it had unseated Star Wars as the highest-grossing film of all time, and adjusted for inflation it currently stands as the 7th highest-grossing film of all time. The film became so iconic that Spielberg uses the flying bicycle scene as the logo for his company Amblin Entertainment.A group of aliens is in a forest on Earth, not far from a suburb, exploring and collecting plant samples. They are forced to leave in a hurry when alien-seeking scientists arrive on the scene, and one of them is not on the ship when it takes off...Down in that suburb lives Elliott Taylor (Henry Thomas), his older brother Michael (Robert MacNaughton), and his little sister Gertrude (Drew Barrymore), the products of a broken home with their overworked single mother Mary (Dee Wallace). Over the course of a few days, lonely Elliott encounters the stranded alien and lures it to his house with Reese's Pieces, offering it shelter and naming it E.T.E.T. learns English — if only a few words — through the kids and especially television, and finally is able to tell them what he wants: to "phone home." Elliott helps him rig up a telephone-like device from such things as a Speak-and-Spell to attempt to transmit a message to his planet. But as they wait for a response, E.T. gradually sickens — as does Elliott, because the alien has developed a psychic bond with him. The government scientists, led by Keys (Peter Coyote), catch up with E.T., and soon all seems lost for the poor little guy. It will take The Power of Love and a daring escape to set things right...C. Thomas Howell appears as Tyler, one of Michael's three friends.In 2019, Xfinity released a four-minute ad in which E.T. returns and catches up with a now-adult Elliott, again played by Henry Thomas. Thomas stated that doing a full feature film sequel likely wouldn't work, but this was the perfect way to follow up on the story; Spielberg agreed, and named the ad an official part of the film's canon.note Melissa Mathison, who wrote the film's screenplay, had sadly died a few years earlier before she could give her own take on it.For information on the infamous video game adaptation, go here.

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: In The Book of the Film by William Kotzwinkle, E.T. is given more of a backstory. He's a ten million year old member of a low-grade Hive Mind, essentially a sentient drone: In some ways his intelligence is very simple and childlike, in others, very sophisticated, as befitting field crew. When he is cut off from his group mind, his body, not equipped to handle isolation, begins to break down, hastened by Earth's very high gravity. His telepathic bond with Elliott slows the process, but also makes him an accidental Power Parasite, draining Elliott. When his ship gets in range, he automatically reconnects with the network, which immediately halts the decay and heals him.

To drive home how absent-minded and distracted by her daily grind she is, Mary even fails to draw any conclusions upon getting a call from Elliott's school about his Alcohol-Induced Idiocy in class that day, asking whether they're sure they've got the right Elliott while she's sniffing an empty beer can E.T. left on the floor.

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial / int_62f9d08e	comment	Freeze-Frame Bonus: Very near the beginning of the film as the camera shows some of the specimens E.T.'s people have collected in their ship, one of them looks something like a big tree with a man's face on it. As the camera pans past him, if you're watching closely (you may have to use the CAV Laserdisc frame by frame function or run it a couple of times to catch this), you can see his lips move as he lets out an audible sigh! A lot of background details give educated adults a Genius Bonus or Parental Bonus. For instance, overheard snippets of conversation Mary has on the phone suggest she's waiting for someone named "Jerry" on Halloween (who stands her up, however, which is why she's muttering invectives through the wand she's carrying in her teeth as she gets in her car to go find her children). The doctors' dialogue while they're trying and failing to save E.T. is real medical talk and indicates they have some credible working theories on what the problem is, and a number of people are shown carrying away sealed containers presumably containing just about every item that came in contact with E.T. and might have his DNA on it and loading it into vans to be taken to government labs for analysis. A glance around the quarantined room (particularly after everybody steps out to give Elliott some time to make his farewells to E.T.) shows a camera mounted on a tripod pointed at the hospital beds; somebody had the sense to be getting a record of everything happening during what's basically America's First Contact with an extraterrestrial.

(Notably, E.T. appears to recognize Yoda. Perhaps he's just happy to see someone who isn't freakishly tall and smooth-skinned, but then...) John Williams even sneaks "Yoda's Theme" from The Empire Strikes Back into the score at that moment. E.T.'s species is canonically present in the Star Wars universe during the events of The Phantom Menace courtesy of a Shout-Out in the other direction, so it's entirely possible he does know Yoda, or at least another of Yoda's species. Michael does a mocking impression of Yoda in the scene where Elliott reveals E.T. to him. Also, when the government agents invade Elliott's house, the astronauts get a well-known breath. There's also a shout-out to that other 'Star' series: Mary reading Peter Pan to Gertie.

He doesn't even trust his mother. And the government is indeed looking for him, but we never do find out what they had in mind because he's terminally ill when they find him and curing his condition becomes priority #1. Ultimately subverted when E.T. is in critical condition, the doctors actually show a great deal of concern for his pain and well-being. They do everything they can to help him and Keys' questioning Elliot has nothing to do with exploiting the alien and everything about just trying to find what they need to do to help him. And then when that fails, this turns into Alien Autopsy, as Elliott assumes this is what they plan to do with his body and tells Keys as much. Keys doesn't try to deny it, though events afterward render any questions as to whether that was indeed what they were planning another moot point.

The main drive of the movie is getting E.T. back with his own people and the agents' desire to study E.T., regrettably, brings them into conflict with this.

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial / int_ffad4e9f	comment	A lot of background details give educated adults a Genius Bonus or Parental Bonus. For instance, overheard snippets of conversation Mary has on the phone suggest she's waiting for someone named "Jerry" on Halloween (who stands her up, however, which is why she's muttering invectives through the wand she's carrying in her teeth as she gets in her car to go find her children). The doctors' dialogue while they're trying and failing to save E.T. is real medical talk and indicates they have some credible working theories on what the problem is, and a number of people are shown carrying away sealed containers presumably containing just about every item that came in contact with E.T. and might have his DNA on it and loading it into vans to be taken to government labs for analysis. A glance around the quarantined room (particularly after everybody steps out to give Elliott some time to make his farewells to E.T.) shows a camera mounted on a tripod pointed at the hospital beds; somebody had the sense to be getting a record of everything happening during what's basically America's First Contact with an extraterrestrial.
