In the 1982 film *E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial*, directed by Steven Spielberg, the glowing heart is a significant and touching symbol of the alien character E.T.'s emotional state. E.T., a gentle extraterrestrial stranded on Earth, has a unique ability to light up his chest, which glows when he experiences strong emotions or when he is healing. This glowing feature is especially prominent during key moments in the film.
One of the most memorable scenes involving E.T.'s glowing heart occurs when he is in a weakened state due to being exposed to government capture and experimentation. His chest begins to dim and flicker, reflecting his deteriorating health. However, when E.T is reunited with his friend Elliott and the other children, his heart glows brightly once more, symbolizing his revived strength and emotional connection. The glowing heart becomes a poignant representation of E.T.'s bond with Elliot and his inner life, emphasizing the deep, emotional connection they share.
