There are few moments in cinema when the heart does not merely beat, but soars. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial is one of those rare films—a story so simple, so pure in its intention, that it reminds us why we go to the movies in the first place. It is a film of light, shadow, wonder, and empathy, and it remains one of the great achievements not just of Steven Spielberg’s career, but of American cinema as a whole. The film tells the story of a stranded alien, more botanist than invader, and a lonely boy named Elliott who discovers him hiding in the backyard shed. What unfolds is not a science-fiction thriller, but a quiet, aching ballad of friendship, loss, and the tremors of childhood. Spielberg doesn’t just direct; he orchestrates—each light beam, bicycle ride, and tearful glance conducted like a symphony. The miracle of E.T. lies in its emotional intelligence. Spielberg understands children—not the way they act, but the way they feel. Elliott, played with raw, open honesty by Henry Thomas, is no precocious movie kid. He is wounded and curious, skeptical and sincere. His connection to E.T. is not one of ownership, but of kinship. Both are adrift in a world they can’t quite navigate. They do not speak the same language, yet understand each other completely. What could be more profound? The effects—done in the days before digital dominance—remain magical because they are tactile. E.T. himself is a puppet, yes, but watch the way he moves, the way light catches his moist, blinking eyes. He is real because Spielberg treats him with reverence. The flying bicycle sequence, scored by John Williams’ majestic, soaring composition, remains one of the most transcendent scenes in cinema. It does not just lift the characters into the air—it lifts the audience with them. And what can be said about John Williams' score that hasn't already been said in a dozen standing ovations? His music doesn't simply accompany the film—it embodies it, elevates it, and haunts it long after the screen goes dark. E.T. is about many things: childhood, family, alienation, connection. But at its heart, it is about compassion—the radical act of seeing and being seen. When E.T. places his glowing finger to Elliott’s head and says “I’ll be right here,” it is not just a farewell. It is a benediction. A promise. A reminder that the best parts of us never really leave. In a world often too cynical for its own good, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial remains a glowing ember of hope. It doesn’t ask for belief in aliens, only in love. And in that, it delivers something close to grace.

オリジナルバージョンでまず一安心。画質はこの頃のフィルムとしては及第点。音は囲まれてる感が半端ない。4K盤はこれ一枚でいいかな。
