Understand?

Porter is an alien, he comes from K-PAX. They have their own missions, travel around various planets, and record reports! In 1985, he came to the earth. And I met 17-year-old astronomy enthusiast-Potter who looks at the stars with a telescope every day! They became good friends! His good friend Potter and Sara had a child, and they were named Rebecca after they were born. On July 27, 1996, the alien in K-PAX sensed something happened to his friend Porter, so he returned to Earth again. Learned that his friend Porter’s wife was raped and both his wife and children were killed. After breaking the murderer's neck, Potter could not bear the tremendous pressure and chose to drown himself in the river. The current is too fast for the alien to save his good friend. Can only watch his good friend disappear into the river. But he didn't want to lose this good friend, because he began to have feelings, which is what he called "strange feelings." So he parasitized his friend, Potter, who had become a vegetative person due to prolonged lack of oxygen. So, from then on, he called himself-Potter.

He didn't understand why the relationship between families on earth meant what, and he didn't understand why his friends would commit suicide because they lost their families. But he really didn't want to lose his only friend Potter on earth like this. So he embarked on a long journey, and after that, it was 5 years. He was looking for the answer, and likewise, he was looking for someone who could continue to take care of his friend Potter after he left. Finally one day, he arrived in Manhattan. By accident, he entered the Manhattan Psychiatric Hospital. I saw this doctor who was curious about him and wanted to help him.

In the hospital, Porter met patients who were mentally disordered due to various unfortunate experiences. By letting them find the blue birds, promising to take them away from the earth, etc., the patients can hope. And gradually healed most of the patients. Potter’s help shows that he has begun to adapt to the living habits of interdependence on the earth, rather than the independence of K-PAX!

Doctor Powell has always wanted to help Potter, and gradually believes that Potter is an alien and his own Occupation and his scientific beliefs told him. He couldn't believe it, so the doctor chose to use hypnosis to learn about Potter's past and help him. From several hypnotisms, I gradually learned about Potter's past. (As mentioned above)

The original hypnotist, the alien Potter, when Powell gradually came into contact with the tragedy of the year, aroused the heart of the earthling Potter, which led to Potter's emotional change and excitement! Potter can't tell which one is himself and which one is good friend Potter! When the hypnosis was over, the earthling Potter fell asleep again and became a vegetable, and the alien Potter continued to maintain his body.

On July 27, 2001, Powell finally gradually understood that this Potter was the Potter who drowned that year. It's time for the alien Porter to leave, because in contact with Doctor Powell, he slowly discovered the way of human family emotions and found someone who can take care of her good friend Porter! It's time for him to leave!

When the sun rose, Potter chose the homeless bass. The parasite left the earth on Bass and returned to K-PAX with Bass. This is the best ending for him and Beth.

In the end, he also gradually made Dr. Powell understand that if he was wrong, he would still be wrong. What we can do is to correct our mistakes, because all we have is now. Dr. Powell finally met with his son to spend Christmas together.

People will always make mistakes. If they don't correct them, they will repeat them again and again! We have a mistake, so let's correct it right away!

First of all, most people are discussing whether Porter is a member of the planet K-PAX. Personally, I believe he is more.

1) The beggar in the wheelchair kept glib in the opening scene, but when talking to the policewoman, he told her very seriously that he appeared suddenly. Do you understand what I said? Such a person is unwilling to lie when he is serious!

2) The equipment in the hospital shows his different characteristics from ordinary people. The heartbeat can be as low as 40 and higher than 160. There is no response to 300 mg of tranquilizers per day. None of these can be achieved by ordinary humans!

3) His calculations solved the reason for the perturbation in the rotation mode of the Gemini constellation (though I don't understand, at least in the movie I want us to know that he did it.)

Some people will say that maybe he is an astronomy proficient. Crazy, but I want to say that if a stunner in a rural slaughterhouse can analyze astronomy so thoroughly, the United States is really full of talents! ⊙﹏⊙b Khan!

4) Hypnotic deep sleep cannot lie. If it can, hypnosis loses its meaning! Those who understand psychology know that hypnosis can be rejected, that is, to do as you ask, but in fact it is deliberately strained to prevent yourself from entering a hypnotic state but pretending to enter a hypnotic state. However, if this is the case, there will be a reaction in the next instrument room! So in the state of deep sleep, what he said is the truth!

Secondly, the most discussed is, since Potter is an alien, why didn't he disappear in the end!

Like many people, I believe that K-PAX aliens exist in a medium similar to soap bubbles. On the earth, he chose to appear in a parasitic way. This also confirms that at the beginning the doctor asked Potter why you are an alien and look like an earthling, but he asked why the soap bubbles are round. Because that is the most efficient form of energy. On the earth, I am like an earthly person in K-PAX, and I am like a K-pax person.

So, in the beginning, Potter was just an alien, parasitic on his old friend. He didn't want his friend to die and disappear like this. Because he just understood the social relations of the people on the earth, the feelings of the people on the earth. And this feeling, he didn't want him to disappear like this. He wants to find the answer and find someone who can continue to take care of his friend Potter after he returns to K-PAX!

In fact, Potter is gone, he re-parasiticed on Bass with a special medium, left the earth with Bass, and returned to K-PAX!

Finally, why did Porter choose bass instead of all other "patients" who wish to go. The reason everyone has seen the last sentence, I am homeless. A homeless person is obviously always a different kind in the family-dependent society of the earth. She is more able to adapt to the K-PAX lifestyle. Besides, Beth has a keen perception ability that no one else has, and only Beth has discovered it. The blue bird is actually Potter. This is the reason why Beth is more likely to get closer to the people of K-PAX planet than others. The last reason is that Beth is gone, and Potter is going to be parasitic on her. For a homeless person, the two of them are, perhaps, one home. Being an earthling but being homeless, and an alien who is reluctant to give up on the earth's lifestyle without a family. It's all a sustenance! Therefore, he chose bass!
