Overview

Children continue to delight in this alien creature who comes to earth. Maybe it’s because E.T. the movie portrays an alien with many traits like those Jesus Christ exhibited when he visited earth. The redemption of a family through E.T., the character, offers us a powerful portrait of how lives can be transformed under the impact of a supernaturally loving person. E.T. ultimately shows people how to truly love and become better human beings.
