Scared you? Huh. I agree that it is a great movie, but I noticed it is not for everyone.

Wow. This coming from a Brazil fan is a bit disappointing since both movies share similiar themes of obsession and hope.

I love the story of how some loser everyman eventually becomes extremely important to not only himself, but to humanity.

Its by no means a fast paced story, its a slow serve that builds and builds to a very inevitable and fantastic ending. Its a journey film, and it works brilliantly. Speilberg uses the dark and shadows to pique our imagination, instead of flat out revealing everything to spoil our imagination a'la War of the Worlds.

I love Brazil as well as 2001 Space Odessy... Brazil is a beautiful film not only visually but as well in it's story, it tells a story about how society has been consumed by beuracrazy and useless ambition, and all of that is told in the story. Close Encounters on the other hand is so.. Meh... A guy playing with his potatoes saying it's important is not, amazingly deep or entertaining. It simply just boring...

OMG THE CLOUDS ARE COMING BACK!!!

 

[The Kid]

I liked the noises the aliens made with their ship.

Bom

Wow. I never really saw it that way. I always thought it was a story of obsession, plain and simple. That Roy Neary held this belief, this ideal, so highly, that he was willing to gamble his family over it. To me, Close Encounters seems almost like a metaphor for drug use. Neary was cleary addicted to this. Interesting analogy though. That is part of what makes this film great, it is open for various interpretations.

Amen. And that is why I said it is not for everyone. Today's movie audience's want fast paced MTV style movies, which Close Encounters is not. It is sad that Spielberg resorted to this for War of the Worlds, which was awful in my opinion.

I'll assume you weren't refering to me considering that I have a Brazil icon and stated I loved that and 2001 both slow movies... No my problem with this is, that it's boring...

 

[Mr. Walters]

Nope. If I was referring to you I would have used your screen name. Besides, I don't even know what the hell Brazil is...I mean, other than a country.

And 2001? Slow? Yeah, I suppose it is, but it's too different of a film to compare to Close Ecounters.

 

[zer00]

hehehe

stop using up the air of intelligence

Oh GOD! YOU HAVEN'T SEEN BRAZIL!!! GO SEE IT OR I WON'T LET YOU BACK IN THE HOUSE!

 

[블라스]

Movies, you disappoint me

 

[U.S War Machine]

Haven't seen it

 

[WeaponZ2]

I love CLOSE ENCOUNTERS......I love it...

 

[Majik1387]

It's an all right movie. I think it was pretty good for a sci-fi movie.

Very interesting viewpoint on the drug thing.

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Boring???



Its a classic!

 

[bored]

Close Encounters is a classic. It isn't what people expect from a movie about aliens, in that you never really know much about the aliens or why they come, but it's about the effect of their appearance on a few people.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Even when I was a little kid I hated how everyone acts all in love with these wonderful aliens.
Erm...they abducted a bunch of people, stole this woman's child, plucked people from decades ago and returned them later when their loved ones are all old or dead.

They were evil.

Actually, all the people they "abducted" came of their own free will if I remember correctly.

A lot of the stuff you said is you filling it in because that is never mentioned in the entire movie
