The world is full of hope

Have you ever thought, if one day, an alien visitor appeared on the earth and appeared in the small town where you lived, what kind of story would there be?
The war broke out, the blood was flowing, the family was broken, the wives were scattered...
Everything could happen, but you overlooked another possibility.

That night, Elliott rode his little bicycle and flew over the treetops with ET. The sky was almost strangely blue, with a huge round golden moon in the background, and the sky full of stars, and the sound of the wind was chic. Elliott's clothes fluttered in the wind. I can't see the expressions on their faces, but I can clearly hear crisp laughter from my ears.
My laughter. Unusually open-minded, wanton, and public. A moment of joy is so precious.
Did you hear that?

Mr. Lu Xun said that he has always used the worst malice to predict the people of the country. I magnified it, and the people on earth have always liked to imagine all aliens as wicked people. It seems that as long as there are aliens, it will quickly turn into a disaster.
It is also true that the encounter between Elliott and ET is so precious. This time, the human child turned out to be the strong man in the story.

I can't forget the moment when two souls from different worlds finally meet. In those eyes, there was fear and curiosity, but more, it was the trust in each other and the courage to care for each other.
Or, a child who doesn't know the world very well, but tries to teach his alien friends the rules of survival in this world. On the other hand, ET stood aside and opened his eyes stupidly, his expression full of unknown doubts and inexplicable longing.
I don't want to go into more details. In short, they are so happy together, just like the small handful of colorful chocolate beans that Elliott gave to ET at the beginning. Secular people may think this article is worthless, but you know what it means.

Even the adults look so cute.
For example, the scientist who had the same childhood dreams as Little Elliott.
For example, a single mother dressed up as a catwoman on Halloween walks so sullenly.
For example, Elliott’s cool-looking brother, if he is also considered a half-adult. Although he always takes bullying his younger brother as his responsibility, he is more active than anyone else in saving ET.
Of course, there are those guys who are responsible for hunting down ET. They seem to be serious on the surface, but their clumsy posture makes me boldly guess that maybe from the beginning, they didn't intend to really catch ET.

So when faced with the barriers, the bikes of the friends took off, I didn't feel suddenly relieved. I knew the end of this a long time ago. However, I still feel infinite joy. I watched them fly over the town, the setting sun was red and brilliant. The small houses seen from the top down are more beautiful than ever.
This special effects lens is so crude that it is not worth mentioning today, but in my opinion, it is extremely meaningful. It is a commendation and affirmation of courage and kindness. From the moment they fly into the sky, I know that they will have sincerity and kindness throughout their lives, and believe in miracles.
At the end of the story, ET returned to the spacecraft, despite many disappointments. I don't know if he will recall this peculiar experience during the long journey home, recalling the innocent child who ate him chocolate beans, and then smiled. I only saw the gorgeous rainbow drawn when the flying saucer was far away.

The story ends here, and life will continue.
ET is not only in the movie, but also you.
You are too obsessed, you are too obsessed, you are too obsessed.
You always hold your head arrogantly, you always avoid others' eyes, you always hide in a dark corner and watch movies by yourself, you always curl up when you sleep... You turn yourself into an alien people.
Yes. You protect yourself so well that you won’t be hurt by anyone.
But.

Do you remember, when was the last time you saw a brilliant starry sky? Also, fireflies.
Do you remember, when was the last time you fantasized about spreading your wings? Then, fly across the sky.
Do you still remember, when was the last time you smiled so unreservedly? Then, forget the pain.

You can sit alone in the dark light and shadow and watch the story of the human child and the alien creature. You have found long-lost happiness in other people's dreams, but you will never find your Elliott anymore.
Unless, you turn off the computer at this moment, go out, walk into the turbulent crowd, smile at strangers, talk eagerly with friends.
Unless you feel the beauty scattered in every corner.
Have you heard Louis Armstrong sing, What a wonderful world.
If you look up, you will find that there are already stars in the night sky starting to light up.

PS-
I have watched two Spielberg films in total, the other is "World War". Just laugh if you want. Who called Spielberg the most brilliant, I was not born yet.
By now, Henry Thomas is old, even the young Drew Barrymore had his own star on the Avenue of Stars. Selfishly fortunate that Henry Thomas did not become popular in his adulthood, so that many people can continue to miss the once clear and bright child, just as they miss their childhood.
Spielberg is also old, and each of his current works is full of ambitions, such as "World War", this time the aliens are really going to destroy the earth. I heard that the origin of this film was Lao Si’s debut work. This news made me sigh, as if I saw the name of Luc Besson, who has directed films such as "Blue Sea and Blue Sky" and "Subway" appearing in those abusive commercial films. The same. How I hope that Spielberg’s dream about aliens will always only exist in the beautiful friendship between Elliott and ET.

Finally, say ET, although his stupid look is almost like a 2B. In terms of image alone, he certainly can't compare to Master Yoda in "Star Wars" or Gollum in "Lord of the Rings". It's a pity that Master Yoda is too perfect, and Gulu's environment is very special, only ET, he has entered the heart of all fans as a weak person in the real world, and let us know——
The world is full of hope.
