In the poster, Kevin Spacey wore glasses awkwardly, looking up at the sky at 45 degrees, followed by an elite man glaringly squinting. Before I started watching, I only knew one sentence of the plot. A man who appeared in Central Station called himself an alien. So at the beginning, he wanted to know what will happen next and what the alien visitors will bring. The purpose of the director and screenwriter is to set this up what.
Then he was taken to a psychiatric hospital. One month of psychiatric treatment medication did not respond. Elite male doctors took over. In the meantime, the problems of various patients in the hospital unfolded one by one. Beth, a black girl, never paid attention to others. A middle-aged woman had waited for two sets of tableware and others for 11 years and never refused to leave the room. A black man was afraid of death and felt living. Murderous intentions are hidden everywhere, a fat guy feels that everyone around him is very stinky, and an old man has forgotten any specific manifestations, compulsory mental illness.
The first half of the film shows various reasons to try to convince doctors and visitors that KS is indeed from K-PAX near Lyra. He logically and clearly answered various questions about K-PAX and superluminal travel. There are two suns and seven purple moons. He can see ultraviolet rays that ordinary people can’t see. He drew K-PAX in front of scientists. Running track. He likes to eat fruits, but he doesn't know how to peel them, besides, he is meekly like a cat.
He said that there is no family, no marriage, no government, no law on K star, and he is really cool when all creatures know right and wrong! ! ! ! Visitors and elite male doctors can't help asking themselves what is the meaning of family and government, is it really necessary? The doctor felt that he was the most persuasive paranoid patient, and he was troubled by this and was biased.
Seeing this, I thought the director would be ironic about modern rationality, medical treatment, and technology. Foucault’s "Crazy and Civilization" stated that since the 18th century, reason has ruled in the modern world through the three major forms of scientific thought, technological equipment, and political organization. It is another compulsory and controlling force that hides and suppresses diversity and difference. The combination of morality and medicine, the lunatic asylum is one of the means for rationality to suppress madness. It was just because after fifteen years as a guard, the fat guy suddenly felt that the people around him were very stinky, so he was kept in a mental hospital for treatment for 10 years. Just because knowledge is not understood, or considered unknowable, K-stars are treated as mental illnesses, restricting their freedom, and taking a lot of medicine. He said that life in the universe has the ability to heal itself, and the division between doctors and patients is ridiculous. The doctor said it was their job, and he asked you if it was cured?
He promised to the patients on the fourth floor that he would only take one person back to Star K. His promise made the old man "anti-pathologically" quietly looking out the window looking for the blue bird. The bird really appeared. Every mental patient looked at the bird outside the window and smiled happily, even those who never went out. Young women have all come out. On the contrary, normal humans regard this kind of happiness as group hysteria, a manifestation of the whole floor being in turmoil.
Seeing this, I feel that this film is playing the face of modern medical system and rationalism. In essence, it is no different from flying over the lunatic asylum and Shawshank's salvation.
The turning point occurred when elite male doctors brought K-stars to their homes to find a normal family life. K-star people can communicate with dogs and still like to eat fruits. The wife of the elite man and the K-star people say that you have missed a lot of beauty without a family. The elite male doctor found that he would play with the children on the swing very skillfully. When he heard the sound of water, the K-star began to go crazy. From this moment on, I felt that the film fell into a cliché. The man with amnesia had suffered some trauma before and started to make nonsense. Then hypnotherapy recovered the case. (KS' appearance is really pitiful.) The family tragedy led doctors and visitors to think that the K-stars were the guardians imagined by the victims. From the time his father died at the age of 17 in 1985 to 1997, what happened to the village boy Potter. , Will summon K-star people, as part of their dual personality, to come out and talk about their concerns.
I am a little disappointed because it can be made into a science fiction film. Come on, Hollywood can’t do anything outrageous. Why is it so conservative? Is it difficult to admit the existence of a higher-level alien species? ? Why bother to return to the traditional family ethical values? It’s not fun to return to the traditional narrative at the back, like "In the Clouds". But there are still unresolved doubts about what will happen on July 27th. 2. Why does Porter have special abilities, understand astrophysics, communicate with dogs, and know that a blue bird is coming to cure the sickness of the patient. For example, in the second task, let the old man use a handkerchief to kill black people who are afraid of death, so that black people will never die Relieved and put down the fear.
On the evening of July 26, the patients held a party and handed in the composition that KS asked them to write down the reasons for taking them to K-star. The patients' imagination and creativity in outer space are completely invisible. Looks like a lunatic. At 5:51 in 727, the K-star’s room closed circuit suddenly and a beam of light came in. When the elite male doctor rushed in, there was really no one to see.
At this time, I want to say, shit, it's really an alien. good. What are you doing up front?
Then suddenly he found that the K star was lying under the bed unconscious. (...)
Then he was pushed out, and the patients said that he was not a K-star. (...)
Then Beth disappeared, and she applied to go to K star's composition and wrote i have no home.
Then the K-stars became silent vegetatives.
I don’t know what the truth is. The feeling in the last few minutes is that the K-stars do exist. As higher-level creatures, they were indeed Potter’s friends. Isn’t the West always showing up? In hypnosis, they also talk about Potter from the standpoint of a friend). When Potter was 29 years old, he was hit hard. The tramp killed his wife and daughter. He was heartbroken and committed suicide. The K-star as a friend could not do much. The K-star possessed a body on Potter and wandered around the world for a period of 5 years. Then take Beth away. Leave Potter's body. Normal people can't see it, and the mental patient who can't smell his smell can feel that his soul has left. The same body is no longer a K-star, but Potter.
This could explain the disappearance of hypnosis, supernatural functions, and Beth.
Some movies look at the storyline and clue structure, some movies look at the special effects and the acting, some movies look at the story and tell you a surprise at the end. I don't know what this movie is, but I think it's pretty good-looking anyway.
