Custom image of Steven Spielberg against golden background with a movie reel and film
The Big Picture Steven Spielberg is rightfully considered to be one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. But like many great artists, he is very humble, and can be one of his own harshest critics. During an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Spielberg noted that, like many filmmakers, “I don’t look a lot at my movies after I’ve made them,” but said that he does occasionally watch some of his work with his kids.
'E.T.' Perfectly Captures Child's Perspective Close Despite the science fiction plot, one of the best things about E.T. is its realistic approach to portraying Elliott’s coming of age story. Elliott is one of the most nuanced and balanced child characters in film, thanks to strong writing and Thomas’ convincing performance.
The film’s presentation of small town life is similarly convincing, while also drawing strong humor from some of the oddities of that lifestyle that people take for granted. Details like Elliott heating up a thermometer with a lamp so Mary thinks he has a fever and lets him stay home from school , and Michael only knowing how to drive in reverse from backing Mary’s car out of the driveway make the film’s world feel lived-in and the characters like real people, despite the fantastical premise.
