A film as a therapy and an extraterrestrial visitor who saves hearts

Prot, a man claiming to be from the K-pax planet of Lyra, was taken away by the police at the subway station and transferred to a mental hospital. There, he developed a special relationship with the dean and his fellow patients. His performances are indeed very extraterrestrial. He examines the state of the people on earth with the eyes of aliens. The intimate connection they have established between people is something that other planets do not have. A state of disorientation. He made the dean aware of his neglect of his family and his over-commitment to his work.

Prot is the salvation and cure for all of them. Before the Dean finally got the answer to Prot's hypnosis and root-searching, Prot seemed to really come from Lyra. He knew exactly the operating parameters of the planetary system there. On the other hand, a young man with Robert Porter seemed to be exactly the same. In the hypnosis, Prot calls him to that person, are they the same person?

PS Kevin Spacey's objective, flat, yet playful tone and overall performance are really in place

    "How did he suddenly appear at the station in the beginning?" "The clip appeared."

    The setting is quite interesting, but unfortunately it was ruined by the American Soul Chicken Soup.

K-PAX quotes

  • Dr. Mark Powell: Have a seat.

    Prot: "Have a seat." What a curious expression.

  • Dr. Chakraborty: He most definitely has a sensitivity to white light, but I think it's his range that you'll find interesting.

    Dr. Mark Powell: What am I looking at?

    Dr. Chakraborty: Uh, he can detect light at a wavelength of up to 300 to 400 angstroms. Ultraviolet. Of course, Prot's explanation is that due to his planet's peculiar quality of light caused by its two suns, K-PAXians are used to light conditions much like our twilight most of the time.

    Dr. Mark Powell: Whoa, w-wait, wait a minute. Uh, Chuck, I didn't think human beings could see ultraviolet light.

    Dr. Chakraborty: We can't.
