The most beutifull text that i heard from kevin spacey in this film is that there is anouth life on earth all the animals and bacteria fighting for space that can fill 50 other planet's but humans can't live with the earth in harmony i think!!!!! humans will destroy the beutifull think that is earth and that that is a MIRACLE that on earth has born LIFE!!!
hombre mirando al sudeste (man looking southeast), Argentina 1986 film, no doubt, deeply poetic, light years away from the American version that was made in 2001 "K-Pax"
@Miggytube3 K-AX is to Man facing Southeast what Munsters are to Frankenstein. Same basic plot but different ending & feel. Shrink does his Alien no harm In book eventually manages to gently get Robert Porter back. prot plays possum until they "pull a Cupid" (opposite of pulling a Howlin Mad Murdock) & are allowed out the hospital. ECT is used but more realistically without killing. + prot is the Herman Munster of alien parasites. Loopy, lovable, affectionate! But Rob does have other personas.

believe me or not.... he stole my music from my song... check my music video here on youtube from 1999 :" Addio Sasa Vukic"... please it's not a joke... and please watch from the start to the end
I think there is a lot of evidence in the movie that supports his story. If I had to guess, I would say he actually is from K-Pax. Just think of all those little hints:
- He can see UV-light
- His story doesn't contradict itself.
- He promised to take one person with him, and then one patient suddenly vanished
- He knew things about astophysics, that not even those scientist knew.
- At the precise time he anounced he would travel back to his home, the camera in his room suddenly went dark.
i think its more a case of it can go either way and it was intended for their to not be a wrong or right answr, it depends on the viewer and what they are willing to believe / how their imagination works, do they cling to logic or are they open to new ideas
All of you guys that really want to know the truth of the story, go read the K-PAX trilogy, and the K-PAX lV books. The first book (which this movie is about) isn't enough to know what really is happening with Robert Porter. By the 2nd book everything becomes clear. The books are amazing, I'd love a following movie done about the 2nd book which would tie the story up for those who didn't read the books yet. This movie was genius, Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges where perfect together.
This is a really great movie. A couple of times through this, you lean towards the "alien" theory, and at other times, you lean towards the "psychology" of this movie. The film is made so you just never know what the true truth is that this movie presents. One truth that one can conclude tho, is the powerful messages and lessons taht this movie undoubtedly presents. Truly inspiring.
@siltopian7 : You're absolutly right, but Green Lantern is a cake and far away than this... (High Sarcasm) No seriously, K-Pax is a state-of-the-art movie, personally.
according to alex collier we originated on a planet not too diffirent from earth in that constelation, called Lyra, which orbits the star Vega. upon a reptilian invasion we scattered across the milky way. long long ago. seems crazy amd sci-fi yes, i don't know if it's true or not but in my culture and many others there are tales of an ancient war between humans and reptiles, and it could explain why so many humans are scared of reptiles, i cant bare on in the same room.
all of you who are amazed by the movie should read the book which is way better... will make you think even more. anyone knows when the sequel is to be made?
At the end the sun comes up, but we can see him under the bed, having some sort of concultions or something, but then after some time the doctors returns to the room and he wasnt there,Who knows if he was an alien? I love these Types of Films. This also resembles to the fact tht we canot be certain if there is something supernatural out there, i love these movies can u can never be sure of whts going on :)
Kinda ... uhm, I saw the whole movie, and I was pretty confused. He was really an alien, but after he catched his "lightbeam" they found his body under the bed. It's really confusing to me, but you know ... you figure it out. He's in Roberts body, but his personality is Prot and stuff. Really ... yeah. And it all sounds stupid if you haven't really seen the movie xD I loved it <3
I just saw it :D a couple of minutes ago :P It's so awsome! :D And you're right.. It's very confusing, but you figure it all out at the end :P I love such movies :D I love this movie! :D
its sad that more people have seen pieces oif shit like meet the spartans and epic and date movie than this movie. this film is a great piece of art which will be remembered for yeas to come. one of the greatest movies ever!
Nunca vi una pelicula tantas veces como esta suena a locura verdad pero la veo una y otra vez y es una gran pelicula seria bueno leer el libro que inspiro la pelicula
that body is Robert Porter, but it is Prot's spirit. Prot's in his body. Prot goes back to K-PAX. Porter asked for help, that's where Prot came in. Prot took control over Porter's body. That's why the rest of the Ward is like 'That's NOT Prot!' They knew, because Prot wasn't inside of Porter.
Ok just saw the movie, will someone explain sth for me. Was K-Pax never real, and Robert Porter went mentally ill after almost drowning and thought he was prot, and when the beaming didnt work he went catanoic? Or was it real and prot only had some kind of posession over porters body? I dont get it :(
@liz5079 yep liz is right Prot does exist ive read the books also which first book is based on the film also the things he knew and got told he could see UV light when humans cant it would blind us and things he knew bout his planet and earth know1 would know
Wouldn't you say that that's the charm of this movie? If you knew from the beginning that K-PAX existed (or not) it would be no fun. And now you have to think about it. So what would you say? What was that doctor supposed to think? Given only these facts that we know from the movie. I guess I don't get the kind of questions you asked... Sorry :/
What I like about this movie, well partly anyway, is that this stranger can make a man so set in his ways and belifs doubt about what we think is reality. And also some of the shots are amazing. How the light is filmed in a beautiful way...
This is definitely a gem of a movie. Not many people I know have seen, but all those I show it to are always very impressed with it. Kevin Spacey is, as always, incredible; however, Jeff Bridges does a great job, too.
I'm also interested in the name of the song that plays around 1:53. If it's from Newman's score for The Player, does anybody know which track it is?
I didn't get this movie...
