sci-fi movie? Do not

Until a minute before the end of the film, I was still expecting aliens, and I didn't know it wasn't science fiction until I saw the subtitles. The moral of the film can be summed up in a sentence from "The Count of Monte Cristo": "All the wisdom of mankind is contained in these five words: wait and hope!".

But what puzzles me is why the male lead, who is a missing person (suicide and murderer whose body the local police can't find), is so proficient in astronomy that it surprises even the best astronomers.

    It seems that the highest level of biological evolution is the retreat of the body and the transformation of a spiritual existence. Why can't we just relax a little and allow the whole world to exist in a space beyond our control? Let that which we cannot comprehend exist, as long as it is harmless...

K-PAX quotes

  • Dr. Mark Powell: Uh, how is it that being a visitor from space, that you, uh, you look so much like me or, or anyone else from Earth?

    Prot: Why is a soap bubble round?

    Dr. Mark Powell: "Why is a soap bubble round?"

    Prot: You know, for an educated person, Mark, you repeat things quite a bit. Are you aware of that? A soap bubble is round because it is the most energy-efficient configuration. Similarly, on your planet I look like you. On K-PAX I look like a K-PAXian.

    Dr. Mark Powell: Prot, why did you want to come to our planet?

    Prot: Well, I've been here many times before. But what brought me here first? I don't know. Pure curiosity, I guess. I'd never been to a Class BA-3 planet before.

    Dr. Mark Powell: Class BA-3?

    Prot: Early stage of evolution. Future uncertain.

  • Prot: I will admit the possibility that I am Robert Porter, if you will admit the possibility that I am from K-PAX. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a beam of light to catch.
