1982, long before many of us were born, an alien came to earth. "ET the alien”, Came 25 years ago from the hand of Steven Spielberg, and has become an icon of world cinema.
This film was screened for the first time on June 11, 1982 at the festival of Cannes , and the vision that cinema had given us about space visitors, a subject that Spielberg himself had previously addressed in the 1977 film “Close encounters of the third kind” varied a bit.
The film is unforgettable, especially for phrases like "ET phone home" (ET, telephone, house) and the emotional journey of the little alien lost on earth.
ET achieved four Oscars in 1982 and Spielberg planned a second part, but in the end the project did not work. It is among the 16 highest grossing films in history, with a gross of $ 792.9 million.
We also remember that this was the actress's catapult, at that time small, Drew Barrymore to the Hollywood stages.
