Like so many movies, ET the Extraterrestrial invokes musical background effects to cause emotional reactions in the audience. It makes heavy use of strings in minor keys to create a mood of empathy and poignant pathos. The strings can also be used in brief and quick tempi to create the edge-of-your seat anxiety and suspense. Occasionally, clarinets are employed for comic impact.
