The ET and Cronenberg’s "Flies" here seem to have a psychological shadow just after watching them. They are really cult, gross, and sick, and the same ugly pleated creatures, Spielberg can make small The girl dresses him up, puts on a wig and a hat, and shoots it into a loving children's movie. I used to see "Artificial Intelligence" as a young child, but now I think it’s rare to be able to maintain a childlike innocence at this age.
