What They Say is True...

E.T. really is one of the greatest films EvEr!!! I finally watched the film in its entirety a few nights ago and all I have to say is...ClAsSiC. My face has been hurting from smiling ever since!!!!! It's just one of those flicks that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside! The cinematography is fantastic, the characters are wonderful...Even the sound is good!!! And the scene with the frogs...Sheer genius. I don't know how anyone can watch this film and not walk away feeling rejuvenated and refreshed by its childish wonder. It's just one of those films that gets to the core fundamentals like Freedom, Truth, Beauty, and Love (to steal from another fav flick, Moulin Rouge). Ever since a child I've been drawn to these ideals with my wide naive eyes...I guess I'm just a sucker for a good movie where good triumphs. I'm also a sucker for lovable animals and creatures like E. T. whose large eyes and incessant breathing and noisiness reminds me of many animals I've had the pleasure of knowing. I guess that's truly the joy of this movie; we recognize a little bit of ourselves in it.

Listen up y'all...if you're feelin' down ya gotta watch this movie...I cannot say it enough.
