      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've been to 64 planets within our galaxy. Earth is the only one of your species, homo sapiens, that I visited so far.

      Dr. Mark Powell: When did you arrive on Earth?

      Prot: 4 years and 9 months ago.

      Dr. Mark Powell: So that makes you how old?

      Prot: In Earth terms, 337 years old. I aged about seven getting here traveling at about 6 multiples of c. But, really, Marko, it only seemed like an instant.

      Claudia Villars: I'd say access 1 psychosis NOS.

      Dr. Mark Powell: That's glib to call him a psychotic. That's a wastebasket diagnosis.

      Claudia Villars: Well, he believes he traveled here from another planet. What's your diagnosis, jet lag?

      Dr. Mark Powell: Well, how come he didn't respond to the Haldol?

      Claudia Villars: Haldol can make you more psychotic. It's rare but it does happen.

      Dr. Mark Powell: Look. I'm not saying that medication can't be a helpful tool to help somebody like this. But you can't...

      Claudia Villars: In the meantime, we have 10 new transfers to take care of.

      Dr. Mark Powell: Maybe, what's wrong with him, is that he is.

      Claudia Villars: [interrupting] Is what?

      Dr. Mark Powell: ...from the planet K-PAX.

    • Dr. Mark Powell: It's one thing to take an interest in your fellow patients. It's quite another to make you think that you can cure them.

      Prot: You seem overly upset, Mark. To borrow a phrase from Navarro: You need to chill. For your information: All beings have the capacity to cure themselves, Mark. This is something we've known on K-PAX for millions of years.

      Dr. Mark Powell: Listen to me: On this planet: I'm a doctor, you're a patient.

      Prot: Doctor, patient: Curious human distinction.

      Dr. Mark Powell: It's not your job to cure Howie, or Ernie, or anyone else, it's mine

      Prot: Then, why haven't you cured them, yet?

      Prot: Oh, by the way, here are the answers to the questions you asked me. I hope they meet your satisfaction.

    • Prot: [eating a banana, complete with peel, delighted] Your produce alone has been worth the trip.
