A film that sets out to ask you all kinds of questions in all kinds of ways, using both imagination and psychology to do so, is a film that shouldn't be missed. Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges star in this charming tell tale of a man, never seen before in New York City, claiming he is alien and from another planet in another galaxy, called K-PAX. He is smart, and knows all about astrology, and other types of science in that department.
Touching as a commentary on society as it is a family film. In the style of films in the nineteen seventies, such as Lumet and Donner, this film is dealt on adult levels, and adults will probably be the ones who get the most out of it.
Commenting on society, Prot(Spacey) prances through the film in sheer delight, and it is delightful to watch him perk p the patients of the mental institution of which he is placed(after a false communication in the film's opening) and Bridges character is trying to understand the truth, as to whether Spacey is real genuine article or just a hoax with Disassociative Identity Disorder.
The interesting thing here is that you could go both ways, there are traces of DID, and also traces that he could be telling the truth. He is very smart, here, Spacey's Prot, and he knows so much about our solar system(and his) that one is kept believing until the final minute.
I did not think I would like this film, but I do...very much. And I recommend it to anyone with an imagination. Give it a try...
7/10
