a5c7b9f00b A lonely man befriends a cocaine addicted extra terrestrial…..let the good times begin. Filthy Frank ensembles all of our favourite characters in one of his best short films to date.<br/><br/>Expanding on the universe of the 1982 classic &quot;E.T. the Extra- Terrestrial&quot;, George Miller tells the story of E.T&#39;s return to Earth. Upon befriending an autistic boy, he seeks to indulge in many human pleasures.<br/><br/>Throughout the story, we see incredible character development. Not only does E.T. yearn to experience human life in its fullest, he explores many dark sides of human nature, ultimately leading him to a downward spiral of sinful pleasure. This resonates strongly with the audience, showcasing many of the desires we so often succumbed to. Furthermore, a deep and forbidden romance persists throughout the story, adding a further element to the mysterious relationship between the protagonists. <br/><br/>This short film showcases a variety of impressive film techniques, including powerful montages, harsh scene transitions and the incredible backdrops. Additionally, an original soundtrack beautifully enhances the depth of the character&#39;s emotions.<br/><br/>Overall, E.T. 2 showcases Filthy Franks perfect mix of comedy, sci- fi, action and romance, carefully intertwined into the many darker themes including drug abuse and mental disabilities. <br/><br/>10/10 I believe that this film is the best story ever told on film, and I&#39;m about to tell you why.<br/><br/>I was so impressed with how every single subplot was given a great deal of respect and attention from the director. The acting was world-class. The twists were unexpected, an although this film had a familiar feel, it wasn&#39;t even slightly pretentious or clichéd, it was original. The cinematography was grand and expressive. It gave a real impression of the sheer magnitude of this daunting prison.<br/><br/>But the one thing which makes ET 2 stand above all other films, is the attention given to the story. The film depends on the story and the way in which it unravels. It&#39;s a powerful, poignant, thought-provoking, challenging film like no other. If Andy were to comment on this film, I think he might say: &quot;Get busy watching, or get busy dying.&quot; Take his advice.
