The original was said to be made to test public reaction to the ET reality. There are a few details in the film which are said to highly accurate to someone with above top secret clearance -- the smoothness and seamlessness of the craft for example. The original message of anti-war and care for mother earth looks like it is lost with the new film. The remake seems to be propagating the same old alien war against earth myth that Dr. Greer (disclosure project) claims is part of the secret government's preparation to stage a fake invasion of the aliens (which is now said to be on hold indefinitely).

It's a shame that there haven't been any realistic or peaceful portrayals of aliens in mainstream films since E.T. Even so, it seems that Greer is at least partly full of doody.

I really like the original.
