True Friend Movie Analysis

True friends are never apart, maybe in distance but never in heart. In my opinion, I believe the term “friendship” means a strong bond you have with someone who understands you and you understand back. A true friend cares for you, supports you during your rough times, and protects you. Elliot learns from his encounter with E.T. that true friendship is found in the heart. In the paragraphs below, I will state how E.T. teaches Elliot that a true friend is someone who cares for you; supports you during your rough times; protects you.

First off, I will explain how the movie demonstrated that a friend is someone who cares for you. When Elliot woke up to find E.T. missing in the forest, he knew he wasn’t in the condition to find him, so he went home and asked his brother to help find him. Both Elliot and E.T. were sick and dying, but Elliot stayed with E.T because he cared and worried for him. Although his mom didn’t allow him to stay with E.T., Elliot still wanted to stay with him. This just shows the friendship they made throughout the short period of time. Elliot wanted to stay with E.T. because they had made a strong bond with each other, and no matter how difficult the situation was, they would both be there for

When E.T. told them that he wanted to go home, they helped him gather materials to make a device to call home. Instead of going out to Trick or Treat, Elliot spent his evening by going to the forest to help send a message to E.T.’s people. This shows that a friend supports you in rough times because E.T. was looking for a way to go home and Elliot supported him. E.T. was stranded on Earth, so he was having a difficult time returning to his home. However, since E.T. was friends with Elliot, Elliot supported and helped E.T. so that he could go home. This shows that whenever someone is going through a rough time, a friend is always willing to support
