IDEA: SPIELBERG HAS A GREAT TECHNIQUE MAKING FILMS, AND SOME OF THE STORIES HE DEVELOPS ARE GOOD, BUT HE DOESN'T LET LIFE ENTER HIS FILMS.

EXAMPLE: ELLIOT AND E.T. CYCLING IN FRONT OF THE MOON

EXPLANATION: This is the most famous moment of the film, but I don't feel any spetial emotion, because I can't feel the emotion of Elliot. 
Elliot is alone with ET, nothing is more important than him, so: why does Spielberg choose a general image, showing the sightseeing, instead of focusing on the face of the obviously elated Elliot?
Moreover, the widened moon. OK, It is a traditional and efficient idea to create a special environment. But for Elliot it's the same, because he isn't looking at the moon!
I already know that the moon is beautiful, what I want to see is the emotion of Elliot staring at the moon, bigger than ever.
