The themes of “E.T.” are communication and relating to those who are different from ourselves. Elliot and his siblings come to love and respect E.T. Interestingly, E.T. has unusual capabilities, such as levitating objects, miraculously healing wounds, and even the ability to make others fly. But these are not necessarily supernatural and could be considered technical capabilities of an advanced technological society. Many Christian viewers have also noted comparisons to E.T.’s story and the Gospels. Unfortunately, in an angry moment, Elliot uses an anatomical term in an offensive insult meant to be obscene, but his mother thinks it is amusing. Elliot’s older brother also uses an obscenity and a few mild and moderate crudities. If not for the foul language, “E.T. the Extra Terrestial” could be approved for all ages; but because of the language, Dove recommends the film for ages 12 and older.
