To be clear: the LA Philharmonic is playing the music live to E.T. the Extra Terrestrial tonight at the @HollywoodBowl!

Real talk I'm really excited to watch E.T. tonight, but I'm thinking about the racial politics of Steven Spielberg and Co.
-
Like whenever this movie came out, it was easier to do a movie about a green being from outer space than person of color from earth.
-
But I'm excited. And blessed and really grateful for these tickets.
-
Ok so we're at the intermission for E.T. the extraterrestrial at the
@HollywoodBowl with live music by the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Feels. -
They started E.T. the Extraterrestrial, a film about THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE with the U.S. national anthem. This actually happened.
-
But anyway. Even tho women of color make up the worlds majority, E.T. just happens to show up to a little white boy in Los Angeles.
-
What's interesting is that Elliot, the little one that befriends E.T., describes himself by saying, "Me. Elliot. Boy." Never says, "white."
-
Elliot decides to gender E.T., calling him a boy. Elliot's also in a single mother's household. The gender politics here are fascinating.
-
But it's an enjoyable film. Laughing at the Bowl on a breezy night... might have had a tear in my eye when the bicycle lifted in the sky.
