first time:
Surprise! Really classic! Needless to say, the performance is hosted by Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges.
Whether it is a science fiction movie or a science fiction novel (to be honest, I haven't read the novel of this show), the inclusiveness of "science fiction" is huge, and she has a good combination of science fiction, suspense, psychoanalysis and other factors to do it. I have you, you have him, and he has my realm. Very in line with the taste of people who like this type of film. ~ However, the most fascinating thing for me is to look at it with the idea of whether Potter is a human or an alien. However, I finally discovered that it doesn't matter whether he is an alien or not. What is important is that he brings us hope that we can find our lost selves! In sci-fi movies, this is the most realistic alien I have ever seen. Humans are really amazing animals. You can come up with such amazing stories. The various theories about aliens like Fermi's Paradox and Drake's formula are no longer important and less attractive. The effect of Pete as a "human" in helping the mentally ill in the film has broken through the ability of the traditional psychotherapist (for example, Mark), just as he said: People have the ability to heal themselves. I always watched it with the idea of whether Pete was a human or an alien, but the first time I didn't read it too clearly, there were many contradictions.
The main evidence that proves that Pete is an alien is listed below:
Evidence 1, he can see short-wave ultraviolet light, and humans do not have this ability.
Evidence 2 answers questions raised by astronomers that only a few astronomers know.
Evidence 3 solves the trajectory of the K-Pai star by astronomers.
Evidence 4, you can talk to a dog.
Evidence 5, disappeared from the hospital for three days. According to Pete, he traveled northward to various countries.
Evidence 6 can be said to be hidden evidence, and finally Pete left the earth.
Evidence 7, finally took Beth away.
And the place that proves that it belongs to human is (does this still need to be proved?):
Evidence 1, his abnormal reaction after seeing the faucet shows that he has been mentally stimulated.
Evidence 2. Mark’s investigation into him revealed that he is indeed human, because Pete was indeed shocked by the loss of a loved one five years ago and then disappeared.
There is also a question: Is the appearance of the blue bird accidental or "magic" by Pete? Why would Beth tell Pete that you are the blue bird?
Second time:
When I heard the sentence: "Don't worry, I won't live on you", I suddenly realized that this is the case! Why didn't I notice his explanation the first time I saw it, alas! And he mentioned when explaining to Mark why he looks like a human being: Why are soap bubbles round? Because that is the most energy-efficient shape, and similarly, on your planet, I am like you; on K-PAX stars, I am like K-PAX stars. This also corroborates what he said earlier, why do you want to live in humans, so that it can explain the above contradictions and questions. For the 7 evidences of aliens and the two evidences of humans, because K Astral people have evolved to the ultimate stage of living things, leaving only the spirit, and relying on living in the flesh to act. This may be a basic question the author wants to express: What is the ultimate stage of human evolution?
But when did the K stars live in Rob's body? The hypnotism of Pete in the second half of the film explains the time and reason of the fusion of K-stars and Rob, that is, due to Rob's tragic loss of family members 5 years ago. This also explains why Pete has such violent abnormal behavior when he sees water from the faucet.
Looking back, it’s easy to explain why the blue bird appeared, because it was the K-star people who lived on the blue bird, which shows that Beth has the keen perception ability to see through Pete's body, plus the K-star people’s social structure that is intermittently expressed from the film. It can also be understood that Beth is the most suitable choice: no family, good nature. This also explains why the K-stars finally took Beth away, because compared to other people, she was the most in line with the K-stars' requirements.
One more thing, I really like the movie music of this film, it's very nice and dynamic!
K-PAX—Why come to the earth?
Why did he come to earth? From hypnosis to the final discovery of the unfortunate experience that happened to Rob, we can make the following inferences. From the beginning of hypnosis, he said that he had a friend and watched the stars with him. This friend is Rob, and when Rob was a teenager, they were friends. And whenever Rob had something, Potter could feel it and came to the earth to help him. This time he came to Earth, and Rob was also involved in an accident. His wife and daughter were killed, and he committed suicide. But I don’t think he died. After Potter arrived, he was parasitic on him. The local has already concluded that Rob is drowning, and Rob has probably lost consciousness after experiencing a huge blow, and he can no longer live independently. Since Potter is friends with him, of course he will help him. So Potter traveled on the earth for 5 years, in fact, to help Rob find someone who can take care of him. This can explain why he was able to solve the problem of astronomers, because he was really a K-PAX star at the time, and he controlled Rob's body for the past 5 years. And why is he crazy about water, when hypnosis is critical? Because there are two kinds of consciousness in the body, Rob's consciousness is usually asleep, and he will only react when he encounters something that can trigger his great grief. So when he saw the water spouting from the faucet, he would be so flustered; so he would act mad when asked about the crucial day. It's not that Potter will be hypnotized because he is afraid of being locked up to the third and fourth floors, but he doesn't want to ruin Rob. His purpose is to find a place for Rob, not to make him suffer. In fact, the pain shown by hypnosis is probably not Robb alone, and Potter may also feel pain. So during hypnosis, you will feel that sometimes it is Rob, sometimes it is Porter, because they exist in one body, I am afraid there is a sense of consensus, they are jumping with each other. When Mark finally handed the roster to the Potter Robb School, Potter just looked at it and told Mark that since he knew about Robb, please take good care of him in the future.
——————————————————— Dividing Line———————————————————
After reading the analysis of netizens, this is The explanation I most want to accept is that Prot (perhaps the name is not true) is an alien who lives on Robert Porter, and Robert Porter is the terrestrial person who has had a tragic experience. See above that Pete is the main alien. evidence.
In any case, Port can indeed see ultraviolet light, and he does disappear for three days. Port's immunity to drugs is also true. It is also true that Bess disappears. If we must say that he is an earthling, then these problems cannot be explained. .
At the end, when Port was about to leave, he was calm when facing the doctor and found out the truth (because it wasn’t himself), and told the doctor that he hoped you would take care of him (Robert Porter), so when he finally left, a lot of mental patients said they didn’t know him. He, he is not Port. (Isn’t there a saying? Mental patients and geniuses are just one step away. How do you know that the fat man who says that everyone has a bad smell is not an evolution or superpower that is ahead of mankind?)
His previous travels were all It was with Robert Porter's body, and this time he left it, perhaps because he found someone who can take care of Robert Porter for him. (Doctor)
And remembered what he repeatedly emphasized, only one person can be taken to K-PAX, why, why can only one person be taken, because he can only live on one person at the same time, thus taking him away.
and last The little easter egg at the end of the credits. The doctor looks at the starry sky with a telescope. Is he looking at Port? Because Robert Porter is beside the doctor, so the doctor is watching Port and K-PAX,
just like their dialogue at the end of the film:
Port——And yet l sense that when l leave here, l will be missed.
Dr—— Yes.
(By the way, Spacey's voice is so good, should I go to the moon for his voice?)
