I was told that the film is normal. I looked. And it turned out, well, normal
It's a wonderful movie. The narration is calm, but the whole point, the whole interest is in the plot. Who he is, how his planet and society work. Or maybe he's just crazy. But its physiological features are slightly different from human capabilities, although it is said casually as if there is nothing like that. An ordinary person. Nevertheless, the narrative is conducted with doubt that he is really an alien, and not just a psycho who was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. And then this knowledge of his. Where are they from? Or maybe he just took them and read them from free access and imagined to himself that he was not a human being.
And so it is throughout the film. It's like we're watching an interesting patient together with a psychiatrist.
And how interesting is the idea of their society! Children do not have parents and families, the whole society educates them. This idea is so appealing. Imagine: a child can turn to anyone for help, support, knowledge and everyone will feel the need, responsibility. All adults raise children.
When we reach communism, I think we will come to this, albeit with the preservation of family units.

Every time I watch films from the early noughties, I realize how wonderful they are. And that you need to watch them exactly at an age) And how wonderful it is to watch Spacey's acting

It was unexpected to find out that there is such a tragedy in this film. I was very impressed. The whole movie is in tears and despair for the main character.

I wanted a more open ending that left the audience wondering if he really was an alien. and can they experience and live with trauma?

The visual range is, of course, very warm, but that's not enough right now.

I remember a long time ago, the film was first shown on TV, so I tried to watch it in 2003 and I didn't watch it, it seemed very boring and uninteresting, after so many years I decided to review it anyway, but the film turned out to be gorgeous👍

What a wonderful movie. How did he get past me earlier? Kevin Spacey is just wonderful in this role, however, as always.

A great movie, the atmosphere of the noughties, that's what's missing, a calm narration, warm tones of the picture, a deep plot, an open ending, in order to think towards fiction or pragmatic realism, in general, it's worth watching.
