the story of Christ?

Rating: Null/10 (1 April 2007)

after seeing 'close encounters' which i found hugely overrated i avoided Spielberg films.then i was encouraged to watch 'schiendlers list' which i think may be the greatest film ever.armed with this insight into Spielberg's work i went back to look at some of his earlier work.
watching e.t. i was struck by the parallels with the story of Christ.i have not read all the reviews of this film on this site and i wonder if anybody else noticed.it would not be the first time a modern-i use the term loosely-children's story had been made this way.c.s. lewis's 'the lion,the witch and the wardrobe'probably being the best example although lewis always denied this.
e.t.-the story of Christ.may sound crazy but think on for a moment and the similarities jump at you.
ET arrives on earth with lights in the sky(the spaceship),Jesus arrives on earth lights in the sky(the angelic host).
where did Elliot find ET?in a barn.where was Jesus first seen?in a stable.
ET gathers a group of friends(the kids),Jesus gathers his apostles.
ET is betrayed to the authorities by Elliot's mother,Jesus betrayed by Judas.
ET captured,tortured and killed.same for Jesus.
both rise from the dead.both leave the earth by ascending into the heavens(admittedly ET was in a spaceship).
i have only seen this film once and there are probably may more examples.so next time you watch ET try it with this in mind.
