Elliott and E.T. develop a psychosomatic connection as they attempt to keep E.T.\u2019s existence a secret. When E.T. falls ill and is captured by government agents, Elliot \u2013 who simultaneously falls ill \u2013 and his band of friends come to the rescue, helping E.T. escape back to his family in space.<\/p>\n<p>My family watched <em>E.T.<\/em> constantly, so much so that iconic lines became mantras my dad repeated over and over. As I grew older, and chronic illness and disability became a newfound part of my identity, I began to see <em>E.T.<\/em> anew.<\/p>\n<p>Disability and science fiction have a long and complicated history. As medical historian R.E. Fulton <a href=\"https:\/\/nursingclio.org\/2017\/06\/21\/iron-man-and-the-science-fiction-of-disability\/\">has written<\/a>, \u201cEarly science fiction\u2026appealed strongly, vitally, to those for whom science was at best a mixed blessing, a tool of infinite promise and limited returns.\u201d To some, science fiction <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfwa.org\/2022\/06\/28\/tired-disability-tropes-in-sff-do-better\/\">has been seen as a site to \u201ccure\u201d disability<\/a>, harmfully erasing disabled people from the future all together. Others, in the <a href=\"https:\/\/thenerdsofcolor.org\/2015\/03\/09\/rewriting-the-future-using-science-fiction-to-re-envision-justice\/\">tradition of Octavia Butler<\/a>, have used science fiction to see marginalized communities as leaders, building on \u201ctheir ability to live outside acceptable systems\u201d as \u201cessential to creating new, just worlds.\u201d Though E.T. and Elliott are never explicitly named as disabled, their simultaneous journey of deteriorating health firmly puts them at the whims of the medical system and the U.S. government. And thus, I argue, placed in the canon of disability and science fiction.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout <em>E.T.<\/em>, we catch layers of foreshadowing about the fate that awaits E.T. Early on, Elliott makes direct statements about what might happen to E.T. if adults find him: \u201c\u2026they\u2019ll give it a lobotomy or do experiments on it or something.\u201d<sup><sup><a id=\"post-34727-footnote-ref-0\" href=\"#post-34727-footnote-0\">[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/sup> There\u2019s the frog dissection scene in which Elliott, intoxicated by proxy due to E.T.\u2019s experimentation with beer, frees the frogs intended for biology class dissection while E.T. makes a plan to return home. Or when Elliott\u2019s mother reads his little sister Gertie a Peter Pan bedtime story about an untimely poison.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34739\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34739\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34739 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nursingclio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lobotomy_drill_norway_IMG_0982.jpg?resize=640%2C397&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"A drill with a crank on a piece of cloth.\" width=\"640\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nursingclio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lobotomy_drill_norway_IMG_0982.jpg?resize=723%2C448&amp;ssl=1 723w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nursingclio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lobotomy_drill_norway_IMG_0982.jpg?resize=405%2C251&amp;ssl=1 405w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nursingclio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lobotomy_drill_norway_IMG_0982.jpg?resize=768%2C476&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nursingclio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lobotomy_drill_norway_IMG_0982.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34739\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u201cThe best science fiction has its roots in the realities of history.\u201d Pictured is a drill used in lobotomies in Norway in the 1940s.

Elliott increasingly talks about himself and E.T. as a \u201cwe,\u201d telling his brother Mike that E.T. is \u201cfeeling everything\u201d as the flowers seem to bloom and wilt to match E.T.\u2019s state of being.<sup><sup><a id=\"post-34727-footnote-ref-1\" href=\"#post-34727-footnote-1\">[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/sup> Spielberg\u2019s cinematography places the movie firmly in Elliott\u2019s and E.T.\u2019s points of view. For the majority of the movie, the viewer never sees an adult face except for that of Elliott\u2019s mother. Everything is literally from the eyesight of a child\u2014for example, we only see the government agent \u201cKeys\u201d from the belt loop down until the climax of the movie. The viewer comes to understand E.T. and Elliott\u2019s world as a shared entity\u2014this special connection only adding to the viewer\u2019s emotional reaction to their shared deterioration.<\/p>\n<p>The more I watched the tenderness between Elliott and E.T., the more I was reminded of <a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/p\/books\/disability-intimacy-essays-on-love-care-and-desire-alice-wong\/20063808\">disability intimacy<\/a>, and in particular what disability activist Mia Mingus refers to as <a href=\"https:\/\/leavingevidence.wordpress.com\/2011\/05\/05\/access-intimacy-the-missing-link\/\">access intimacy<\/a> \u2013 \u201cthat elusive, hard to describe feeling when someone else \u2018gets\u2019 your access needs.\u201d There is the obvious intimacy of Elliott\u2019s and E.T.\u2019s shared feelings, shared actions, and shared deteriorating health, but there\u2019s also the way Elliott and E.T. meet each other where they are with no pretext. Elliott (and his siblings) exhibit a childlike curiosity in getting to know E.T. In contrast to the adults around them, the children\u2019s attempts to \u201cteach\u201d E.T. their world are never condescending, and their attempts to understand E.T.\u2019s world are never extractive.<\/p>\n<p>Speilberg\u2019s layered foreshadowing however, does not make the movie\u2019s climax any less scary: Elliot and E.T., both blue and pale, lying on the bathroom floor; men in hazmat suits coming over a hill along an orange horizon; the absence of John Williams\u2019s score emphasizing the eerie silence. As a child, the medical scenes terrified me \u2013 from the chaos of men in personal protective equipment to the beeping of the machines, the cross talk of the doctors, against the backdrop of Elliott\u2019s and E.T\u2019s wails. It was not until I was an adult, watching it after years of doctor\u2019s appointments, surgeries, and failed attempts to advocate for myself, that I realized how real Elliott\u2019s fears are. Elliott is a child enduring medical trauma in real time. Like most kids, and disabled kids in particular, Elliot is repeatedly ignored and viewed as an <a href=\"https:\/\/nursingclio.org\/2022\/11\/01\/reading-disability-history-back-into-american-girl\/\">unreliable narrator<\/a> of his world. Elliot keeps crying out: \u201cYou have no right to do this\u2026You\u2019re scaring him.\u201d<sup><sup><a id=\"post-34727-footnote-ref-2\" href=\"#post-34727-footnote-2\">[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>The best science fiction has its roots in the realities of history \u2013 whether it\u2019s episodes of the drama series <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.com\/news\/features\/evil-best-show-on-tv\/\"><em>Evil<\/em><\/a> calling out the medical racism baked into the U.S. healthcare system, or <em>The X-Files <\/em>episodes about the government stealing women\u2019s ova, or<em> Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em> episodes about medical experimentation and hysterical women confined to asylums.<sup><sup><a id=\"post-34727-footnote-ref-3\" href=\"#post-34727-footnote-3\">[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/sup> And <em>E.T.<\/em> is no different. Elliott knows that the government, and by extension, the bureaucracy it sustains, is killing E.T.<\/p>\n<p>We live in a world where increasingly it\u2019s not just illness or pandemics that are killing us, but the bureaucracies that exacerbate that slow death. It\u2019s the fact that insurance won\u2019t cover routine medical procedures, leaving us in <a href=\"https:\/\/thesicktimes.org\/2024\/09\/17\/for-people-with-severe-long-covid-medical-care-is-out-of-reach\/\">debt<\/a> or crowdsourcing medical bills. It\u2019s the fact that there is <a href=\"https:\/\/peoplescdc.org\/\">no infrastructure<\/a> to support equitable access to free vaccinations, air purifiers, and high-quality masks in an ongoing pandemic, nor is there government acknowledgment that <a href=\"https:\/\/longcovidjustice.org\/long-covid-essentials\/\">long COVID<\/a> continues to disable thousands. It\u2019s the fact that there is no infrastructure to support <a href=\"https:\/\/atmos.earth\/hurricane-milton-confirmed-what-disabled-citizens-feared-most\/\">disabled people<\/a> in need of evacuation in increasingly horrific natural disasters due to climate change; instead, they are just left to die. It\u2019s the fact that there is always money to destroy communities and countries abroad in <a href=\"https:\/\/decolonizepalestine.com\/\">Palestine<\/a> and Sudan, but never enough to keep people alive. Disease may kill us, but the bureaucracy of capitalism may kill us faster.<\/p>\n<p>Some viewers may argue that E.T. would have eventually deteriorated if he had stayed with Elliott, but, by Elliott\u2019s own assertion, he would\u2019ve known what to do. He would\u2019ve known how to take care of him. Elliot knows what every disabled comrade knows \u2013 that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yesmagazine.org\/social-justice\/2019\/05\/29\/pleasure-activism-disability-justice-care-joy\">disabled communities<\/a> have saved each other over and over, <em>especially<\/em> when the government and the medical system neglect us at every turn.<\/p>\n<p>Towards the end of the movie, a lullaby-like theme plays as Elliott mourns E.T.\u2019s supposed death. Elliot says: \u201cYou must be dead\u2026I can\u2019t feel anything anymore,\u201d alluding to their otherworldly connection to each other.<sup><sup><a id=\"post-34727-footnote-ref-4\" href=\"#post-34727-footnote-4\">[5]<\/a><\/sup><\/sup> This same theme plays early on in the movie when Elliott welcomes E.T. into his home, repeating in small moments between E.T. and Elliott and each of his siblings. John Williams\u2019s orchestration (literally and figuratively) underscores the disability intimacy between E.T. and Elliott, each moment punctuated by the childlike wonder and care exchanged between them.<\/p>\n<p>The final words E.T. says to Elliott in their tearful goodbye are: \u201cI\u2019ll be right here,\u201d placing his finger on Elliott\u2019s forehead.<sup><sup><a id=\"post-34727-footnote-ref-5\" href=\"#post-34727-footnote-5\">[6]<\/a><\/sup><\/sup> It feels fitting that E.T. echoes the sentiment I often feel among my disabled friends. That<em> I will be here<\/em> \u2013 in whatever way they need me, just like they\u2019ve been for me. With my disabled friends across the country, that means commiserating over shitty doctors, swapping flare-up tips, or sending each other relatable memes. With disabled friends closer to home, that means driving each other places when we\u2019re too in pain to do it ourselves, bringing each other meals when we can\u2019t get out of bed, showing up with all the supplies and pain management tools,<em> and <\/em>sending each other relatable memes.<sup><sup><a id=\"post-34727-footnote-ref-6\" href=\"#post-34727-footnote-6\">[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/sup> We will be right here, just like Elliott and E.T., whenever our disabled comrades need us.
