During the epidemic, theater classics were re-screened, showing two Spielberg films "ET Alien" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark."
ET has always been a classic in circulation, and it is also an opportunity to finally read it. Spielberg has always been a pioneer in futuristic fantasy and foreign exploration. This movie was really good at that time. The retro feel of the last century movies made the viewing experience very comfortable.
The warmth of this movie really brought me to tears again and again, and it is also a movie with children as the main line. As I said in the title, I feel that at the climax of the film, there is a bit of irony about the inherent attitude of technology and scientific researchers. Of course, it is not malicious, but I see this angle.
When the children Elliot and his brothers and sisters came into contact with the alien, they were all treated like friends, without ambiguity towards him, but contacted him little by little and got along with him. (Of course, this is also because the alien has no bad intentions, but I think Spielberg also wanted to make a warm movie at first, so this setting is not pursued.) As Elliot's brother said, Elliot felt ET. , their hearts are connected together, their emotions are connected together.
But it was a transition from their mother, turning a blind eye to ET, and telling the children to leave quickly when they saw ET in the toilet, and did not want to understand this alien creature at all.
Later, when the researchers found him, they began to block and isolate the whole house, measure his blood pressure, and do experiments. All these were heart-wrenching in Elliot's view. To study as an object, an object, will instead send ET to the brink of suffocation.
When ET called out Elliot's name in this scene. I am really in tears...
This kind of innocence is a more profound existence than the results of scientific research, and what will be left for the researchers in the end? Is it the final research report or just a piece of news?
But for children, it will be the deepest memory in their hearts. They have brought their innocence, simplicity, kindness and love to the extreme. This kind of feeling is really warm and heavy. Really healed.
