I feel that people who call ET a "boy and his dog" story either haven't
seen it or saw it but ws prejudiced from the start by someone else.
I saw it and found it was more of a "victorian wife of a sailor" story
(Elliot=wife;ET=sailor;wife meets sailor and is disgusted,learns to love sailor,
others disapprove of love for sailor,sailor is drafted, must go to war, wife
is brokenhearted).}

Then again, that's only an opinion.
