Shock! Is it a split personality or a stranger from K star?

(Only talking about the movie, not about the novel, because I haven't read it) Everyone is discussing whether Potter is a K-star or a second personality created by Robert himself. No need to discuss, this is obviously the screenwriter deliberately led us to discuss. Potter is the main performance of the alien is his various cattle B, all kinds of incredible. But when you think back to the deciphering records of high-IQ movies that you have seen, such as Sherlock Holmes or something, you can also say that Potter is such a good human. Porter (Robert) is mentioned in the movie as a very smart person. The disappearance of Bess can be explained by the fact that he knew that Bess had recovered. He asked everyone to write letters to find out why Bess did not leave the mental hospital, and then he grasped the key points and let Bess figure it out and leave. Bess is of course willing to cooperate with Potter's acting. The part where scientists describe K star can also be explained by high IQ stealing intelligence, because the doctors said that what Potter said was the same as what they observed and studied, not that it was beyond their cognition. There are other oddities that make sense anyway. This is the reason why I said that there is no need to discuss, because the conditions given in the film are insufficient, so this discussion is unsolvable, which makes more people discuss. The director and screenwriter smiled knowingly when they saw the audience arguing for various positive and negative views, ''We made another good movie LOL''

    A heartwarming sci-fi sketch, the music is great, and Kevin Spacey's acting is immersive. The ending was not explained very clearly. I guess that there is indeed a K-PAX star, and the people from there fell into the body of Robert who committed suicide in order to save people during the travel.

    Another classic masterpiece of sci-fi without special effects, or it may be just a psychological film... The two possibilities are infinitely charming.

K-PAX quotes

  • Prot: I've been to 64 planets within our galaxy. Earth is the only one of your species, homo sapiens, that I visited so far.

    Dr. Mark Powell: When did you arrive on Earth?

    Prot: 4 years and 9 months ago.

    Dr. Mark Powell: So that makes you how old?

    Prot: In Earth terms, 337 years old. I aged about seven getting here traveling at about 6 multiples of c. But, really, Marko, it only seemed like an instant.

    Claudia Villars: I'd say access 1 psychosis NOS.

    Dr. Mark Powell: That's glib to call him a psychotic. That's a wastebasket diagnosis.

    Claudia Villars: Well, he believes he traveled here from another planet. What's your diagnosis, jet lag?

    Dr. Mark Powell: Well, how come he didn't respond to the Haldol?

    Claudia Villars: Haldol can make you more psychotic. It's rare but it does happen.

    Dr. Mark Powell: Look. I'm not saying that medication can't be a helpful tool to help somebody like this. But you can't...

    Claudia Villars: In the meantime, we have 10 new transfers to take care of.

    Dr. Mark Powell: Maybe, what's wrong with him, is that he is.

    Claudia Villars: [interrupting] Is what?

    Dr. Mark Powell: ...from the planet K-PAX.

  • Dr. Mark Powell: It's one thing to take an interest in your fellow patients. It's quite another to make you think that you can cure them.

    Prot: You seem overly upset, Mark. To borrow a phrase from Navarro: You need to chill. For your information: All beings have the capacity to cure themselves, Mark. This is something we've known on K-PAX for millions of years.

    Dr. Mark Powell: Listen to me: On this planet: I'm a doctor, you're a patient.

    Prot: Doctor, patient: Curious human distinction.

    Dr. Mark Powell: It's not your job to cure Howie, or Ernie, or anyone else, it's mine

    Prot: Then, why haven't you cured them, yet?

    Prot: Oh, by the way, here are the answers to the questions you asked me. I hope they meet your satisfaction.
