I remember another gentle visitor from the heavens, he came in peace and then died, only to come back to life, and his name was E.T., the extra terrestrial. I loved that little guy.
That was quite a rant. E.T. was about the emotional experience of childhood. It documented that as artfully as any popular art has...at least since the great Disney features like Pinocchio and Bambi to which it had been compared. It’s also a Christian metaphor.

I disagree.
Analysis is better term than rant.
ET is not even close to being the worst Disney movie, much less Bambi or Pinocchio.
It was empty. It in no way captured the emotional experience of child hood, but it did seek to simulate it. There is a big difference between capturing and simulating.
Using Christ metaphors is an easy way to subliminally engage American audiences.
