Scenes from the Film "E.T." (1982)

Scene 1: "It was nothing like that!"

After a fairly long hiatus from posting over summer break, I am back with a fresh set of film lessons. This first one is from the fantastic 1982 Steven Spielberg film, E.T. The film beautifully captures the struggles and challenges of a young boy growing up, and emphasizes the importance of friendship and compassion. Rated, uh, I guess PG, for language, whatever that means.

Scene 2: "Across the Moon"

Although there's hardly any dialogue, this is perhaps one of the most iconic scenes from the film, and thus, I felt, worth a view. Elliott and E.T. fly across the moon.
