E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
Movie
Released
Elliott's bond with a stranded visitor grows out of loneliness in a family already living with absence. The shared physical sensations make empathy part of the science-fiction premise, rather than a lesson added afterwards. Spielberg's low viewpoints keep adult intervention imposing. The wonder still works, but illness and separation can make this a tearful choice.
