It is indeed a science fiction movie.
A science fiction film that explores human nature.
The plot is too boring, and the suspense is too boring.
I recently watched a few American and French science fiction movies, and found that science fiction in Europe and the United States has become more and more implicit like Japan and South Korea. The lines have changed from verbal slang and become more verbose, and the visual effects of the big-handed are becoming more and more concealed.
This is totally inconsistent with the Yankee's personality of great joy, personal heroism, and playing computer special effects and visual effects. But in a country like ours where we love strange things and not talents, if domestic films are bored, they will be scolded and forced not to go to Starbucks, while European and American films will be praised as having deep thoughts if they are bored.
Although this film does not fall into the range of literary and artistic films below 3 stars, it is not as deep as 5 stars, and even computer special effects and visual effects are not in the current range. It is a science fiction theme, but it is soft. Science fiction, soft science fiction itself has a lower score than hard science fiction, so it is enough to give it three and a half stars.
An alien from an extraterrestrial galaxy. Familiar with the science and technology of his own planet and the trajectory of the planet, and has a deep knowledge of human astrophysics and mental disease pathology, only 200-300 years old, really a young talent. Think about us human beings, even if we live a hundred and eighty years old, we can only make great progress in one field at most, not to mention that this does not count the patients with Alzheimer's disease. . .
The first half is treated as a psychological suspense film, and the audience is entangled in the contest of spirit and will between doctors and mental patients. In the second half, the screenwriter abruptly twisted the story into a suspenseful detective film. Dr. Mark tried to use clumsy reasoning to confirm his guess to prove the cause of the mental illness of the "patient".
Seeing the last part of the film, Dr. Mark found the clue of Potter's identity through a small pencil tip (I always thought it was a bug here. Since according to what this man said, he took off his clothes and jumped into the turbulent river, according to common sense. It is said that the drowning person in the rapids will be completely naked by the current, so where is his little pencil that can indicate his origins hidden?), and then locked when he is just an ordinary person with rich physical knowledge , Everyone feels deceived.
But everyone, mental patients, medical staff, and even Dr. Mark are looking forward to what Potter said about traveling by light beam and the K-PAX planet with two moons. He said that it is so beautiful, so true and believable, as if the sun we see every day exists in the depths of the universe. Even if his words are false, people are willing to believe it exists. It is as if many people have not seen the Great Wall, but still believe that the eighth wonder of the world can be seen on the moon.
Finally Potter really left, leaving Water with cerebral palsy and taking away the homeless autistic Shirley. The enlightenment that Porter brought with people is actually, don't doubt what you see, your self-confidence and rational judgment may be wrong. Maybe you were firm before, but in the confident words of others, your faith is constantly shaking until you are finally destroyed, and wandering in the endless fantasy world mentioned in other people’s words, you cannot extricate yourself, and finally lose it. Self-creation.
In this way, a parasitic extraterrestrial life instigated a three-inch tongue through an abandoned human body, and easily defeated the scientific beliefs that mankind had accumulated after 5,000 years, and established its own, from K-PAX. Religious beliefs.
This religion makes people cherish the dream of going to the Phantasy Star K-PAX. What their spiritual leader asks them to do, they do as long as they can be selected. What a perfect conquest plan, this is more efficient and less lossy than using a killing beam to defeat the human army in "World War" to conquer the earth.
This is also the reason why in the 19th century European and American powers must have missionaries first to open up colonies. Complete conquest does not lie in force. Force can only conquer for a while. People who are suppressed by force are still independent and sober in spirit. And spiritual conquest will make the conquered completely lose themselves, willingly to wipe the ground for the conqueror.
Whether Walt is curing the mad mentally or deliberately creating a brand new religion among the desperate is unclear. In my opinion, this can be explained. For the founder Walter, saying those words is just as part of his daily life as eating and sleeping. For those who are waiting for the straw in despair, it is tantamount to a miracle with holy light shining behind them. As a result, a brand-new religion was inadvertently promoted by the founder. Although the miracle has left with the light, believe that his followers will pass on this alien story from generation to generation. Until a thousand years later, the beginning of the story will face up to the present, leaving only a ridiculous myth and a group of devout believers.
