At one point during filming, Drew Barrymore was consistently forgetting her lines, annoying Steven Spielberg to the point where he actually yelled at her. He later found out that she had reported to work with a very high fever. Feeling guilty, he hugged her and apologized repeatedly as she cried and cried. He then sent her home - with a note from her director.
Agreed. When you watch the movie, I feel like I'm watching an actual real alien from outer space. I don't notice any awkward, ungainly movements from E.T. This is pure movie magic which is greatly enhanced with the addition of John Williams' sweeping and soaring score (and crescendo at the end of the film).
E T say home phone but they both say phone home, wow why would they say it backwards in the script. I guess they was trying to sell home phones back then.
In some ways, E.T. is like a child albeit a very old "child." He's completely unaware of the corruption that humanity begets. He's a pure, inquisitive, child-like creature from another world.
@@RapFanatic4ever Well also the movie is shot from a child's eye level. And the only reason Mary (the mother) is shown is because she's kind of like a child herself. That's what Spielberg has said. The adults aren't shown until the critical moment when E.T. is dying.
