K-PAX

[celticpilgrim]

anybody seen this film - i borrowed it, thinlking it would be so-so at best...a really good film, if, slightly left of centre....

Kevin Spacey is brilliant..

So come on then, was K-PAX an alien or not?

[eccles]

nope, he was a ghost.

[celticpilgrim]

nosw there's the rub....I don't think he was, just took the persona on after he 'disappeared'. After al, he never proved he was from another planet...a bloody good film though...

No that was Sixth Sense

[lord summerisle]

one of the more enjoyable films of recent times...

The jist I got was that he was some form of non-physical alien entity occuping Spaceys' charactors body.

Been a while since I seen it, but it is a bloody great film.

Alien or not, no idea, the unresolved ending is one of the reasons I love the film so much.

Spacey always seems to make/be in excellent films with a twist. My other favorite Spacey film is 'The Usual Suspects'

I loved this film...did the same as you: rented it and expected it to be mediocre at best.

No he wasn't an alien but it didn't matter in the end...

K-Pax is a fantastic film. I loved it. Spacey is one of the best US actors for a long time, but why he isn't spoken of in the same breath as De Niro, Pacino, and so forth, I don't know. He is still big in theatre, which is fantastic for such a big name actor.

For feck sack I've been keeping this film for the right time and you bloody tell me that.

One of my fav films of all time and one I never tire of watching, excellently written with an amazing cast and first rate acting.

...and how could someone so 'affeminate' (sp)be so creepy in SE7EN... Also not included on the credits for that film.

What's K-PAX..?

Sounds like the special forces wing of Tampax.....

Thanks...there I go again, making assumptions.

Its a long time since I watched it but I seem to remember that he just thought he was an alien after going mental seeing his wife and kids murdered or did he kill them can't remember.

If he wasn't an alien, how do you explain the celestial cordinates he gave in the Planetarium?

Just what I was going to type! I think he was an alien... I loved the 'fastest gun in the west' bit in the Planetarium.
