K-Pax

Was thinking again today about my favorite movie and just had to post a short video.

If you are not familiar with the movie I would recommend you take a look.

There are always gems of art, music and cinema that 'slip' through.
Just a case of having eyes, ears and a heart I guess.

Love & Light

I have seen this movie several times and now have my own copy. It's one of my favorites! I think all those people in the hospital are wanderers.

Tight movie, I just watched it online. I think I got greeted halfway through so that wasn't so fun, but oh well. All be well

We humans.. sometimes I wonder how we made it so far too

Hey, I just watched this movie again two days ago. It had been years before that... funny this thread should appear. I love the movie as well.

That was a truly lovely movie. I was forced to watch it in my high school psychology class, but ended up loving it.

Great Sync here with me too...just watched it again last night and my 2 oldest (13 yrs old and 12 years old) watched it with me. I love watching them watch movies that expand their imagination.

Anyone else get the impression that the director of that movie has perhaps researched ET channeling / mediumship, specifically Bashar? The quirky nature of Kevin Spacey's character, especially how he likes to play with the English language, seems very familiar to me.

I think it was a Visitor that wrote the Script and then directed it... it had a Walk-In type of feel to it...

Please forgive the late revival of this thread, but I found something really neat about this film...

There was a spanish language film released in Argentina in 1986 called 'Hombre Mirando al Sudeste" (Man Facing Southeast). This film apparently is remarkably similar to "K-Pax" and its makers did indeed sue, although they eventually dropped the suit. Here's the wikipedia excerpt:

Complaints of plagiarism of the film Man Facing Southeast were made by its makers, and Gene Brewer and others connected with the K-PAX film were subsequently sued in November 2001, the complaint was later withdrawn and Gene Brewer went on to release a memoir exploring his inspiration for the books called 'Creating K-PAX - or Are You Sure You Want To Be A Writer?'.

Here's Gene Brewer's website, a quick look will show you what was behind his book: http://www.genebrewer.com/othernovels.html

You'll see that this writer claims to have never heard of the previous film and has had a sincere struggle with the lawsuit, prompting him to write a whole book about exactly where his inspiration came from.
I'm compelled to believe the story. It looks like the same movie was made twice, nearly fifteen years apart.

How about that? Looks like this story is indeed star born!

I saw that movie before I knew anything about Wanderers. It hits home now much more than it ever did when I watched it.

Great movie. Also like Powder.

[turtledude23]

Great movie. Also like Powder.

I saw both of these movies. I'd give them both a 7/10.

K-PAX is good for your soul. Watch it at least once per moon for best results.
