Kevin Spacey is not only an unstyled and talented actor, but also an actor who dares to try and break through. The many screen images he has created, whether gentle or treacherous, naive or sophisticated, kind or cold, are not simple. Simplicity is the difference between good and bad, and because of that, it seems all the more real. As a film in 2001, the use of light in the film created a mysterious and weird scene for the original dull scene. There was no grand special effect scene, but it always created a sci-fi atmosphere. ”, all using the visual effects of light and shadow. Different from traditional sci-fi films, at the end, the mystery created in the film is no longer important, but has become a psychological film, and everyone has completed their self-redemption, (remember the ending of understanding the worry grocery store). It doesn't matter if Prot is parasitized or if he's just a traumatized psychopath, what the director wants to say is already in the movie. One of the highlights of the film is the reversal of the positions of the doctor and the patient. Who exactly is the patient? Unable to feel loved in society, Beth wrote: "I'm homeless. Does Beth who cannot be recognized by society have to be a patient? Maybe in the eyes of X-PAX stars, she is normal. Subjective humans always think that the same kind should be accepted, and the different should be rejected. Dr. Mark, who is good at treating mental patients, is not a patient in the family relationship. Normal people think that Prot is a mental patient, only the mentally ill think that Prot is an alien. People always take lies as truth, and truth as lies. In fact, people only listen to what they want to hear. It's a movie where the truth doesn't matter so much.

    It's a very good and powerful movie. Is spacey a god or a dual personality? PS How does doctor Powell feel like the boss in Iron Man 1!

    Can aliens with Plato's thoughts not care about ethics? !

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.
