What are the aliens, the trio, and the monsters that influenced “Short Circuit”?

Heartwarming from ET

`` ET '' (1982), one of Spielberg's most famous works, was a huge hit when it was released, becoming a social phenomenon. This was a time when movie theaters did not yet have ``seat reservations'' or ``replacement systems.'' People formed a long line at the movie theater before the screening started, and when the movie ended, they squeezed through the people who were leaving and streamed into the theater. There is even a legend that at a Shibuya screening theater, people who had given up on watching the movie due to the long line ended up watching `` The Cannibal '' (1980), which was being shown at the movie theater next door, making it an unusual hit. ing.

Of course, the filmmakers had no intention of letting such works go unnoticed, and many ``ripoff'' movies were made. From works such as `` Mac '' (1988) and `` Navigator '' (1986), which were made by major studios with a certain degree of reconstitution, to works such as ``Nookie'' (1987), which are neither from the sea nor from the mountains.

In fact, in the scene where Number 5 and Stephanie meet, she says, ``Thank you for choosing me!'' No matter where you look from the east, west, south, or north, Number 5 is a robot, so it is depicted that she thinks that he is an alien. The scene where he invites us into his house and explains the miscellaneous goods is a clear homage to ET.

In addition, the family-oriented development that is at the heart of ``ET'', which is about communicating with pure beings other than humans, is also strongly reflected in ``Short Circuit.''
