I have a perfect litmus test when it comes to telling if someone has a heart or depth of spirit that cannot be defined other than by saying they have a part of the best things that make up a human being.
Between the character connections that are made throughout the movie to the wondrous, amazing symphony music that John Williams creates with his score, to the simple dialogue that is spoken at the end of the film E.T. there is a phenomenal, heart breaking sequence that speaks to all of us on levels that range from the primordial to the fantastical.
If you didn't cry the first time you watched this movie, you have no soul.
It's as simple as that, folks.
Truth be told, I cry every time I watch this flick. There's just something behind both friends wanting each other to come with or stay that hits hard. But then the nail is slammed down when E.T. utters the line, "I'll be right HERE."
Ah, Christ, I'm getting blubbery just thinking about it.
