To state the obvious, the same producers, screenwriter, and director of E.T. The Extra-Terrestial, come together to make a parallel film (ironically based off a book, published the same year as the film’s release, 1982). In both films we see a child connecting with the fantastic, and the fantasy transcending the fictional realm to the real world -be it the U.S.A. government treating a sick alien, or the Queen of England taking council from a giant. The roles are reversed in that we see E.T. as a foreigner trying to get home, where as young Sophie is the foreigner who doesn’t want to go back home. Spielberg’s use of motion capture in @thebfgmovie is far superior to that of The Adventures of Tintin (2011). #StevenSpielberg #Spielberg #TheBFG #BFG #MarkRylance #Queen #Film #Filmmmaking #FilmSet #SetLife #Production #Studio #Hollywood #FilmSchool #MotionCapture #CastingCall #CastingDirector #Casting #Disney #ET #RoaldDahl #Child #ChildrensBook #ETTheExtraTerrestrial #FilmSchool #FilmStudiues #UnderOneHour #Tintin #MelissaMathison #InstaGood
