1. I hope everyone will read the replies when reading this review and have more unique insights. In other words, replies are more exciting than this article.

2. There is a joke that says, "I debated fiercely with him on the topic of'mutual understanding' for two hours, and brought in a group of relatives and friends until he had to accept my point of view. "
People have to accept or be ready to accept it at any time . There are various possibilities in real life, but let us all be at peace and don't need to be so real. As for the opinions, they are reserved. Maybe one day it will change. Argument itself cannot bring the truth. Agreeing or disagreeing is nothing more than a single person or a group of people who are free to comment on a movie. Perhaps while arguing whether this person is an alien in the movie, the real alien stood in front of him and was ignored, then he shook his head and left. If this is the case, at least the "respect", "tolerance", "wisdom" and "possibility" in the film have been ignored. It's a pity that I only saw aliens or neuroses. Therefore, when everyone expresses their opinions, whether they are kind or "sick to each other's feet", it's just a bunch of opinions. Love and peace, no noisy no noisy.

3. This is an open film review. "Ignoring the possibility that he is a human being is the same as ignoring the possibility that he is an alien. It is narrow in nature, and vice versa." Multi-faceted possibilities "are more interesting.
—————— ————————————————————
The expression of this movie is very good, artificially deified, mystifying or complicating many details. But I don’t think I need to be constrained to the details. The most important thing is not here. The important thing is that such a good movie will inspire everyone to think, give everyone different enlightenment, and the harvest is also different.

Ignoring the possibility that he is a human is the same as ignoring the possibility that he is a human being. The possibilities of aliens are the same, they are essentially narrow, and vice versa. Everyone needs to retain independent self-judgment and respect the independent judgments of others. To be a person with a broad vision does not necessarily have to stand. The seemingly unique side.

In fact, I prefer to believe that he is an alien, at least I will feel more comfortable because of this.
Maybe, a K-star or a patient with high IQ. The truth may be that, so simple. Maybe, the truth is not at all important.

Evaluation after ten years.

K-PAX is Pete’s second personality. This personality has a very high IQ and is exceptionally talented in astronomy. He existed when he was very young, and he always talked with himself, and this personality was very intelligent and perfect.

In order to avoid the huge trauma caused by the accident, he separated and buried the apparent personality through formal suicide, which of course may be caused by the amnesia syndrome after the suicide.

Because of this, the second personality that K-PAX has become unusually kind, loving and powerful, and even possesses some supernatural abilities, to help people not to suffer from misfortunes

. The K-PAX planet he imagined was in childhood. I started to conceive, and finally added various idealistic characteristics derived from my own tragedy.

He likes to be a vegetarian because although he is very kind, he is an employee of the slaughterhouse, and in addition to the bloody incident he has experienced, he can no longer accept meat.

If you make any mistakes, you need to correct them, but k-pax found that some mistakes are irreparable, and they make mistakes again and again.

He was once unacceptable to the marriage relationship. Later, because of the tragedy of the family, he imagined a K-PAX planet without a family and husband and wife relationship.

The reason to describe the reproduction of K-pax planet in that way is actually the opposite. He witnessed his wife being raped and killed-aversion to sex (stinky, feeling kicked in the stomach during orgasm) and finally thought of K- PAX-specific reproduction.

He had reacted fiercely to the tooth for tooth, precisely because he also killed the murderer with tooth for tooth, and made himself a sinner without turning his head back.

Probably because of this is the complete split of personality. He kept reminding others of this because of his own experience. Don't want the tragedy to happen again.

Perhaps it was also because the personality of this k-pax finally entered a logical paradox, and it was unable to explain everything to escape. The doctor finally forced him to face the reality. In order to escape this sad reality that was about to be acknowledged by him, he reshaped the fantasy, set a deadline for himself, and finally killed his own spirit or called aphasia, in order to completely Forgetting reality is also the third personality.

A mentally ill person with a very high IQ imagined an absolutely ideal world in order to escape reality, K-PAX planet, who has never thought about it that way? ——Especially those who pursue the good but live in this crazy world.

It is not a sci-fi movie of science fiction, another reality under the cloak of sci-fi.

【Appendix】——————————————————
KPAX original novel provided by Black Milk Don’t Sugar:

The monologue of the last protagonist of the novel has already said:

He must have been washed ashore by the rapids, Since then, he is no longer Robert, but "Potter" (perhaps an abbreviation of Porter). He had been wandering in this country for four and a half years when he was discovered by the New York police. How he made a living during that time was a complete mystery. But I suspect that he spent most of his time in the library learning the geography and languages ​​of countries around the world, instead of really traveling the world. Maybe he also slept in Yeli, although no one knew where the food and clothing came from.

But who is Potter? Where did his ideas about a world without government, money, sex, or love come from? My opinion is that the second personality can use the untapped parts of our ordinary brain, perhaps those who suffer from specialists or mental disorders. He must have spent a lot of time constructing this idyllic world, where all the problems that plague Robert will not exist. His utopian world of his fantasy is so realistic and complete that he even invented his own language-pax-o. What is puzzling is that he can predict the true size, shape, orbit of K-PAX, and even the specific information of some other planets he "visited".
(By the way, the data and answers he provided to Professor Charlie turned out to be completely correct.)

His ideal world should be a world where the father will not die suddenly when the child is growing up. Potter solved this problem in two ways: the children on K-PAX rarely saw their fathers or even knew who they were; at the same time, he comforted them with the idea that they could live to thousands of years old. Own.

There shouldn't be sex and love in this world. These ordinary people's needs have ruined the future of a young man. More importantly, if there is no love, there will be no loss, and if there is no sex, there will be no sexual crimes. There is even no water in the world, because it reminds him of sprinklers!

In this ideal world, there shouldn’t be any form of currency in circulation, because money once prevented Robert from going to college, and, for money, he must do a job he didn’t want to do—killing the creatures he likes, and that job is also necessary Killed his father. As compensation, no animals in his ideal world would be slaughtered or used.

His world is still a world without God or any other religion. Because of that religious belief, Sara refuses to use contraceptives, and because of different combinations of religious beliefs, the people in the small town will be spurned. If there is no religion, none of this will happen.

Finally, there should be a place with no schools, no country, no government and laws, all of which are worthless in Potter's eyes. No one on his idealized planet will be driven by these.

At first, I was puzzled by a question: Why didn’t Pott and his pregnant wife move out of this town in such an unbearable environment? Later, it was Gisela. This girl who grew up in the countryside reminded me that almost all young Americans have a love for family. For financial reasons, they are engaged in jobs that they hate, staying together in their hometown for life, numb. Spend time on drinking beer and watching soap operas.

If in. None of this happened on August 17, 1985, and it is now possible that Potter and his wife are enjoying family happiness. Unfortunately, it did happen. He once again called out his second character-Potter, and asked him to help himself deal with this unspeakable fear.

But this time Potter couldn’t heal his wounds, at least on the earth—a place full of rape and murder in television news reports every day. He couldn’t do it. In Potter’s eyes, the only thing that could escape all of this was The illusory world he constructed, where there is no violence and fear of death. It is a beautiful planet called K-PAX, and there is no pain and sorrow in life.

He spent five years persuading Robert to go with him. However, perhaps Robert was hit too deeply, he was getting more and more indented into his own world, and even Potter couldn't communicate with him.

We still don't know why Potter chose to "go back" at the precise time of that day. Perhaps he had realized that it would take a long time to persuade Robert to go back with him, and later discovered that five years could not persuade him.

Regardless, Potter did leave the earth at that moment, and Robert remained in Ward 3B.

To be honest, I hate the last paragraph in the novel. Talking too much, describing PROT so clearly, he also died.
