The most beautiful movie ever made

Rating: 10/10 (22 September 1999)

I really like Steven Spielberg's work. There are a few men we can actually use the term genius to call them and in his kind of cinema, Spielberg is the best. He has a special way to fill our room with magic every time we see one of his movies. Indiana Jones, Hook, Jurassic Park, Empire of the Sun, etc. But I think that with "ET" he reached the top. He pretty much gathered every magic he had and used it on this movie. I never cry with movies and no, I didn't cry with this one tough, in the famous final scene my stomach did hurt and the sentence "I'll be right here" really made me levitate. This is one of those movies that can actually transport us to an out-of-this-world-kind-of-adventure, the scene with the kids on the bicycles made me fly too just to follow perhaps the most sad ending of the entire history of cinema. A kid who befriends an alien creating a bound so strong that only the two of them could break. John Williams makes his best soundtrack yet, sad, tender and thrilling. Williams is my favourite composer, this man doesn't know how to make a bad score. Spielberg and Williams together and all of the crew just had to result in a movie like this. Just, absolutelly, the most beautiful movie I've ever seen. Friendship is the most transcendent feeling we can experience, specially beetween an Earth boy and a little alien. A true classic that should be seen by any family, any kid, any grownup, any.. anybody. Only a true cold-hearted wouldn't like this movie.
