It's time to bring out your handkerchiefs: The little alien who just wanted to phone home is back. On Thursday at the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is presenting a 25th-anniversary screening featuring an onstage cast-and-crew reunion of Steven Spielberg's beloved fantasy "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial."
The film revolves around a creature with a glowing heart, an abundance of humanity and a sweet tooth who is befriended by a young boy named Elliott (Henry Thomas) after E.T.'s spaceship takes off without him. The cast includes Dee Wallace as Elliott's mother, Robert MacNaughton as Elliott's older brother, Michael; and 6-year-old Drew Barrymore as his sister, Gertie.
Besides being a worldwide critical and commercial smash, "E.T." was nominated for nine Oscars. It lost best picture to "Gandhi" but received four Academy Awards that honored visual effects and sound/sound-effects editing as well as John Williams' transcendent score. 1982年《E.T.》首映，至今已有25年了。11月29日，为了庆祝这部电影的25岁生日，美国科学电影学院举办了庆祝酒会。 |
