Why does the kid get so emotional about an alien he's only known for a week? And then the mother gets all upset too, and she didn't know *beep* about ET. I can get Drew Barrymore getting emo about it - she's a tiny little kid. I just don't buy it.
It's not that I don't like emotional movies, but the emotion has to be earnt.
The kid was in symbiosis with E.T. The mother was just proud of her son becoming the first human friend of an extraterrestrial. Not to mention all the money they will make in interviews,books and TV shows she was counting in her head..
shareIf you ever watch it again, do us all a favour and actually pay attention to it.
Never defend crap with 'It's just a movie'

The mom could've been emotional for another reason like maybe because Elliot found a friend like E.T. to help heal him after the divorce.
shareMost of the audience got teary eyed, and they have only seen the alien for a couple of minutes. You know this movie is for humans?
shareObvious troll is trolling!
Of course Ellio was crying. E.T was the only close friend he had, and it was even beyond friendship! They had a special connection.
As fro the mother, she was sad cause her child was sad! Empathy I believe it's called.
