But I agree with you. It feels like Spielberg also lost interest in something along the course of it. Cause they start making this in 73 and that's right around the time you would have started thinking like, what's the government hiding? What else are they doing? JFK assassinations previous decade. But it also like starts this whole sci-fi era. That's like the modern sci-fi or with star Wars.

So something flips, and it's like modern sci-fi all of a sudden, but I think it starts with Star Wars in this movie.

Yeah, there's like a six-year window where this movie could have come out. Because to me, E.T. and this movie are pretty close, but there's a five-year difference when those came out.
