There is only one explanation

====Evidence====
--- Proposition P: Prot comes from K-PAX

--- (Prima facie) Arguments supporting P:
1) The tramp at the station witnessed Prot appearing out of thin air;
2) Drugs useful for humans The dose is useless for Prot;
3) Prot can see ultraviolet light;
4) Prot knows the knowledge only known by top astronomers, and this knowledge has not been published;
5) When Prot "travel up north", it disappeared out of thin air in a mental hospital 3 days;
6) The female patient Bess disappeared.

---(Prima facie) does not seem to support P's argument:
1) When I met an astronomer, Prot traveled as fast as he did not travel;
2) The doctor found the background story of "Prot/Potter";
3) After Prot left, he stayed in the ward.

---Neutral Evidence
1) Prot called the doctor "Whether you say I am from K-PAX or Potter, in short, take care of Potter".

====Proof====
---If the proposition P is true, obviously, all the arguments supporting P and neutral evidence can be explained;
and, at first glance, the arguments supporting P can also be explained. :
1) Prot did travel during this short period of time when the astronomers could not respond. The reason why he did not choose to travel for a long time was because he was afraid that his host Potter would collapse on the ground and frighten others;
2) Background The story is from Potter, the host of Prot, and the photos the doctor found are naturally taken from the body when he was in high school;
3) Prot can only bring one body back to K-PAX. The one here, in fact, also includes the one he was boarding with. He chose Bess, so he could only leave Potter-leaving Potter made him feel a little bit unwilling. So he asked the doctor to take care of Potter's body, and the doctor obviously did.

---If the proposition P does not hold, of course, neutral evidence and evidence that does not support P at first glance will work;
however, all the evidence that supports P will not work. Even if one of them fails, it will be fatal. Not to mention there are at least six, plus the ones I didn't list.

---Therefore, only if the proposition P is established, can the plot of the movie be explained, and the explanation can be said to be unbreakable. Prot comes from K-PAX.

====What does it mean====
---Prot comes from K-PAX, and it will not discount the value of the movie! ! !
For some reason, a large number of people always have such a complex, that supernatural content is inferior in the realm of serious art and is a "child's play." For example, Oscars never seem to bother to award the best films to science fiction or magic films, even if some films have stories, performances, photography, and profound meaning that are fully enough to win awards.
I personally don't have such a thick and thin complex, so "Prot from K-PAX" for me, has not taken away the warmth, care and comfort of the film at all. The society of K-PAX in Prot's mouth is no different for the people on earth who are trapped by the deeply dichotomous labels (such as "doctor/patient", "normal/abnormal"), overpopulation, neglect to listen, and neglect to pay attention to life. Utopia. No matter where Prot comes from, the message the screenwriter transmits to (tu) to (cao) remains the same. And Prot’s longing for the emotional connection of humans, and caring for the depressed patient Bess with nowhere to stay, these beautiful things, no matter what Prot’s identity is, have achieved the same purpose through the film-let the audience cherish the beauty between people And care about Bess who are not so lucky and lack such a relationship.
So, it’s great to discuss where Prot comes from, but it’s really unnecessary to make your face flush with words like "you look at it this way, it’s shallow" or similar.

---What you choose to believe is closely related to
your thinking style. If you believe that the proposition P is true, that is, "Prot comes from K-PAX", it means that you have considered all the evidence and reasoned in accordance with the evidence, even if the final conclusion is surprising. is also like this.
If you believe that the proposition P is not true, that is, "Prot does not come from K-PAX", it means that you stick to the most common-sense conclusion, and then selectively filter out some evidence to maintain the original conclusion.
The two styles have no advantages or disadvantages, and have their own unique effects for different people at different times.

Sorry, I rarely write film reviews, and I don’t read film reviews often. I don’t know how to write beautiful words, and I don’t use quotations. I only write what I think of. If it is too simple or offends you, I feel I am so sorry.

    3.8 I may not be able to choose my top 10 in my life, but I can say that the greatest actor of the 90s in my opinion is kevin spacy, and there are many, many details in this drama, such as hypnotizing him in jeff bridges , He has said this in different tones since he was a child, even with his eyes closed, he is acting with his voice. By the way, it is rare to see so many people mentioning the original voice in the comments. .

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.
