i watched e.t. for the first time and thought it was very good. why is spielberg so good at creating 'movie magic'?

Natural skill + experience + success giving him access to the best crews and necessary budgets

I want to punch E.T. in the face for living against God. I think God was having a good time when he made the beaver. The animal too, even.

Spielberg just has a lot of natural talent when it comes to constructing scenes, cinematic creativity, and he's didn't get very lazy like Lucas did.
