After more than 15 years I saw "E. T." again. I was since my youth not a big fan of the film ehr. As a small child, I think I have seen more often and also prefer. Something about the film has me later but always disturbed and caused discomfort in me. Now times with today's eyes "new" considered. Well, the film just can't inspire me (anymore).
It already starts with the fact that the children are unsympathetic to me. Furthermore, the film celebrates that food waste is apparently perfectly okay. Elliot goes to the house with the pizza box, hears a noise outside in the garden shed, and goes into the garden WITH the pizza box in his arms. Why doesn't he just set it down on the table where he was standing when he heard the noise? But he then puts it down on the grass in the cold and wet garden. Well, okay, it's just stupid. But it gets really stupid when he then gets startled and accidentally steps on the pizza box. Okay, even that is not the crowning glory. The crowning glory is when the family is out in the backyard, opens the pizza box and sees that a little bit of pizza is slightly crushed and some toppings and cheese are stuck to the lid. Yeah, how gross! Can't eat it anymore, of course, so left outside in the garden. OLD! With scenes like this, I'm not surprised that people have been totally wasteful with food since the 80s and some are extremely sensitive. Iiiihhh, bah, someone stepped on the PizzaSCHACHTEL, the pizza is therefore no longer edible. What does a Mr. Spielberg actually want to tell the viewers of the film with this scene?
Then again this typical behavior of the youth to simply throw down bicycles. I'm not surprised that so many young people and children in this country do this and did it in my childhood/youth. I have always hated that. How can you handle your own bike like that? Again, I guess this movie has also had a little influence on the negative behavior of kids udn teenagers.
Okay, it's just one stupid scene. But unfortunately the film is also strange in other respects. Adults (except the mother) are never really shown in the first 70 minutes of the film, always only the legs or the back, but never the faces. Something like that annoys me!
The story is okay.
The music is the best part of the movie.

7/10 points - no rewatch value.
