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 always created a sci-fi atmosphere. ”, all using the visual effects of light and shadow. Different from traditional sci-fi films, at the end, the mystery created in the film is no longer important, but has become a psychological film, and everyone has completed their self-redemption, (remember the ending of understanding the worry grocery store). It doesn't matter if Prot is parasitized or if he's just a traumatized psychopath, what the director wants to say is already in the movie. One of the highlights of the film is the reversal of the positions of the doctor and the patient. Who exactly is the patient? Unable to feel loved in society, Beth wrote: "I'm homeless. Does Beth who cannot be recognized by society have to be a patient? Maybe in the eyes of X-PAX stars, she is normal. Subjective humans always think that the same kind should be accepted, and the different should be rejected. Dr. Mark, who is good at treating mental patients, is not a patient in the family relationship. Normal people think that Prot is a mental patient, only the mentally ill think that Prot is an alien. People always take lies as truth, and truth as lies. In fact, people only listen to what they want to hear. It's a movie where the truth doesn't matter so much.

    You see, people sometimes live so desperately, entangled by all kinds of fears, sorrows, and memories. Sometimes they just need something called hope, so that you can find that living is a kind of happiness. The past cannot be reproduced, but now it can always be grasped. Regardless of the truth, we all want to have a heart as warm as him from outer space.

    The film left a suspense: is Prot a psychopath, or is it really someone from the planet K-PAX? It depends on the focus of the viewer's emotions. Movies with suspenseful endings also include the top in "Inception", and whether the bong in "Two Smoking Guns" was thrown into the river, and the ending of "The Magician". Kevin Spacey is awesome!

K-PAX quotes

  • 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.
