E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
64Watch it awake.
He keeps the stranger safe, and he does not keep him.
The review
This is the one where Elliott finds a little stranger and hides him in a house that already has a hole in it. He wants a friend bad; the film gets that want and still will not let it win, because E.T. has a home that is not this cul-de-sac and keeping him would exile the stranger.
The goodbye is the measure. A child can watch it. When it ends, say that loving someone is not the same as owning them. The government men are a cartoon of the real temptation to treat a life as a specimen because you can.

The glance
Industry and Republic are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
The eight
- 4Industry
A child is not at a trade. His work is the hiding, the building, and getting the friend to the ship.
- 7Household
Father already gone. Tired mother still the mother. Kids keep a secret she should have been told.
- 6Piety
The raised finger and the goodbye play as reverence. A life can be owed even if not useful.
- 8Courage
Courage is the last reel: he takes the friend to the ship instead of keeping the miracle.
- 4Republic
Men with keys are a lab, not a people. The film cares about a yard, not a republic.
- 7Temperance
Fear is real, not a joke on the small. The bike flight is joy, not a taunt.
- 7Truth
A boy tells the truth by refusing to hand a living thing to people who would take it apart.
- 8Stewardship
What is not his, he returns. That is the whole stewardship here, and it is the right one.
