This Actress Represents Stephen King’s Addiction to Cocaine + 9 Other Movie Metaphors

5. E.T.The Extraterrestrial

Steven Spielberg’s E.T. The Extraterrestrial is another movie character representing Jesus. A few of the similarities:

• Jesus was innocent, sent from above, and prayed to God; E.T. was also innocent and sent from above, and “phoned home” to his kin.
• Jesus was chased by Herod the Great and protected by three wise men, and E.T. is chased by scientists and protected by three children.
• Jesus was a carpenter, and E.T. is discovered in a shed, which could suggest that he’s a woodworker.
• Christ spent his life preaching goodness, and E.T.’s first words are “Be good.”
