The final ending where the bikes fly a second time with ET’s renewed strength was such an inspiration to me as child. I remember yelling to my best friend at the theater “this is the greatest movie ever!” There are major visual symbols that I deciphered as an adult but I didn’t’ comprehend as an early teen. How the glowing energy of the sun reflects the brightness of ET’s healing finger. Elliott’s red hoodie mirrors ET’s glowing red heart. Elliot’s growth and independence portrayed in the final image of a young boy by himself facing the vastness of the universe that ET belongs to. #retoyman #et #ettheextraterrestrial #speilberg #stevenspeilberg #flyingbikes #cinema #sun #aliens #1982 #painting #acryliconpaper #acrylicpainting #minimalpalette #realism #artrealism
