It’s “Far From Home” week on Duel of the Greats! Steven Spielberg’s E.T. The Extra Terrestrial matches up against Ridley Scott’s White Squall. This week Jeff, Nate, and Steve are away from home and coming of age with alien friends and a semester at sea. Spielberg and Scott both both try ton replicate that feeling of growing up and losing innocence in a world run by adults. Will they take off for home or be stranded at sea?
Which movie is better at using movie magic to make the viewer evoke those same feelings of growing older and discovering yourself? Which director was better at handling child/younger actors? And ultimately, which movie says more about what it’s like to be a kid and trying to find your way in this strange world?
