      This man is from K-PAX.

      This film is very similar to "The Man From Earth", a sci-fi suspense film without special effects. It's an old film, and I just saw it recently and I don't have much to say. As for whether the protagonist is an alien, I think most of them hold a positive view. . The same is true for me, although the director did not write a bulletin board or anything, but it is not as controversial as the Inception in the past few years. I am more interested in the cycle of the universe that PROT said in...

      Film review of "K-star Stranger"

      1. Wow, that's it. After watching a sci-fi movie, I was so moved that I cried to death. After the ending song, the male protagonist looks at the stars in the sky and slowly turns away from the screen, too, how to say it, too romantic. Really romantic.

      2. The ultimate in sci-fi is emotion, and the ultimate insight from watching many sci-fi films.

      3. I love this setting so much: The greatest thing about people is their feelings, and allowing themselves to be weak. There may be...

      Shock! Is it a split personality or a stranger from K star?

      (Only talking about the movie, not about the novel, because I haven't read it) Everyone is discussing whether Potter is a K-star or a second personality created by Robert himself. No need to discuss, this is obviously the screenwriter deliberately led us to discuss. Potter is the main performance of the alien is his various cattle B, all kinds of incredible. But when you think back to the deciphering records of high-IQ movies that you have seen, such as Sherlock Holmes or something, you can...

      K Xingyi guest, who is the patient and who is the doctor?

      Kevin Spacey is not only an unstyled and talented actor, but also an actor who dares to try and break through. The many screen images he has created, whether gentle or treacherous, naive or sophisticated, kind or cold, are not simple. Simplicity is the difference between good and bad, and because of that, it seems all the more real. As a film in 2001, the use of light in the film created a mysterious and weird scene for the original dull scene. There was no grand special effect scene, but it...

      This is actually a psychological film not a sci-fi film

      I watched this film very carefully, I watched every line and every scene attentively, because it is said to be a brain-burning film, and it is also a sci-fi film with pure lines. It has high requirements for the screenwriter and details. . The whole movie looks pretty good, but I really didn't say I like it very much, at least it didn't produce a feeling like the night when the comet came. I feel that science fiction movies can still be made like this.

      When I watched it, I changed my...

      I thought it was a sci-fi film, but it turned out to be a warm film about family affection. Since this is a movie, I had no doubt at first that Prot was a K-star, and all the amazing things that happened to him made me a devout believer like those in the mental hospital. Then I touched the clues and returned to the crime scene on July 27, 1996. I was a little disappointed. Is it really crazy? In the end, fortunately, it's just a soul...

      The same problem as the domestic movie "What's in the Darkness". Discussions on such films involve a question, do the creators need to take into account the audience's viewing experience in their expressions, or can they just wantonly express what they think should be expressed? In terms of movie viewing experience, I don't like this kind of movie, whether you want to talk about love and peace/live in the moment and cherish the people in front of you/the beauty and pain of youth...all kinds of...

    Movie plot

    A strange stranger appeared at the Central Park station in New York, and said in front of everyone that it came from another planet: K-PAX. The police who heard the news believed that he was insane, sent him on the train to the mental hospital, and entrusted him to Mark (Jeff Bridges), a kind psychiatrist. The patient called himself Prot (Kevin Spacy), an optimistic and confident guy. In the hospital, he talked to patients and doctors...

    Evaluation action

    The relationship between Plott and psychologists conforms to the rules of most film and television works (not the rules of psychologists), that is, the positions of doctors and patients will be reversed in the development of drama. The patient dug up the root of the disease. In this film, Plot sees that Dr. Mark Powell's workaholic spirit has affected his family relationship. This is also a common cliché and nothing new. However, the...

    Movie quotes

    • Prot: I wanna tell you something Mark, something you do not yet know, that we K-PAXians have been around long enough to have discovered. The universe will expand, then it will collapse back on itself, then will expand again. It will repeat this process forever. What you don't you know is that when the universe expands again, everything will be as it is now. Whatever mistakes you make this time around, you will live through on your next pass. Every mistake you make, you will live through again, & again, forever. So my advice to you is to get it right this time around. Because this time is all you have.

    • Dr. Mark Powell: What would you say if I told you I think you're as human as I am?

      Prot: I would say you're in need of a thorazine drip, Doctor.

    • Dr. Mark Powell: I'd like to begin by asking you... if you know why you're here.

      Prot: Of course. You think I'm crazy.

      Dr. Mark Powell: I prefer the term "ill". Do you think you are... ill?

      Prot: A little homesick, perhaps.

      Dr. Mark Powell: Really? Where is home?

      Prot: K-PAX.

      Dr. Mark Powell: K-PAX?

      Prot: Capital "K," hyphen, capitals "P-A-X." K-PAX is a planet. But don't worry. I'm not going to leap out of your chest.

      Dr. Mark Powell: I'm not worried. It's just that I'm only familiar with nine planets.

      Prot: Well, actually, there are ten, but that doesn't matter. I'm not from your solar system. K-PAX is about 1,000 of your light-years away from here in what you would call your constellation Lyra.
