I believe that the boy in the film carries his shadow. From an ordinary background, he is obsessed with movie creation, keen on all kinds of weird secrets and aliens, looking forward to extraordinary adventures, but also with the kindness and sincerity of children, and of course, he is ignorant and ambiguous towards beautiful classmates.
This is a movie written for yourself, and everyone will have a movie written for themselves.
You can say that Grandpa Si has lost control of the scenes in this film, and he can choose the level of blockbusters. You can also say that he, who once brought countless surprises to the world, seems powerless in this film. But I also believe that this is a movie he wants to make, a movie that pays homage to ET.
Yes, they have so much in common, the same bizarre incident, the same child's perspective, the same evil adult, the same final escape, that the male protagonists all look strikingly similar. When Spielberg was getting older and turned behind the scenes, perhaps this is also a supervisory production he wants to stay, commemorating the ET and his childhood.
And JJ Abrams and Spielberg, two generations of movie wizards, two generations of dream creators, two works separated by more than ten years, ET and Super8, collide with the wonderful moments of everyone's childhood.
