Review of K-PAX (2001) by Akhilan — 21 Apr 2020

So, let it be a psychological flick or a sci-fi one I will just be in between that two-layer of confusing state. It is simply moving forward as a deep journey into an unknown person's life was he declared as an alien (not like the one who cut somebody's chest) but a non-human entity appeared as a human.

He is like an artificial man in context and his strange behavior and approach gears Mr. Powell to engage in his work more seriously. He is with Prot all the time and want to know more about him. That's why he gone for a hypnotic process.

But what we can find out through as a whole is the connection and the interchange between the doctor and the patient. A man, who knows nothing about family, nothing about missing someone advises another man to be with the family.

When it comes to Prot's life, we are still confused about his character as a whole. What we gained at the beginning about Prot suddenly marks a twist and another shape of him named Robert appears to us.

That is the delusional structure created by both the director and the writer at the end. Anyway, I'm not going to list this film as a sci-fi product rather I want to see it as a pure dramatic, family, emotional one.
