2/9/2018 0 Comments e.t.E.T. is a science fiction fantasy film directed by Steven Spielberg released more than 35 years ago, yet the ideology behind the movie is not considered dated, rather the opposite, as it tells the story of Elliott, a lonely boy who befriends an alien, dubbed "E.T.", who is stranded on Earth. Elliott and his siblings help E.T. return to his home planet while attempting to keep him hidden from their mother and the government, and it is considered to be one of the greatest films ever made. The score of E.T., written by John Williams, was a challenge of creating music that would generate sympathy for such an odd-looking creature. Let’s have a listen to one of the movie’s most famous soundtracks: The flying theme.
