- Title
Innocence Unrewarded: A Note on E.T. and the Myth of Adolescence.
- Authors
Magistrale, Anthony
- Abstract
The article offers criticism about the motion picture "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial," by Steven Spielberg. The author mentions the banning of the film's viewing to Scandinavian children under the age of 12, due to the reason that it portrays a society composed largely of individuals who are enemies of the children. The author compares the plot of the film to fiction movies including "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," by Mark Twain and "The Four Hundred Blows," by François Truffaut.
