Have you guys seen the movie? I love it, I was blown away by it! The plot outline IMDB has for this movie is: "Prot is a patient at a mental hospital who claims to be from a far away planet. His psychiatrist tries to help him, only to begin to doubt his own explanations" In a few words that's what you can say about the movie, but the plot evolves in a spectacular way. The movie ended up to be really emotional. But I'm puzzled about Prot. What do you guys think about him: Was he a real alien that took over the body of that man after he tried to drown himself in the river and that on that day returned back to his home planet K-Pax and abbandoned the body? Or was Prot just the result of the man's attempt to forget his past and hide away from himself and from his memories? I would go for the second option: just a disturbed man with a sad past...

I watched this a long time ago. At the end I think that he ended up being a person that went insane because somebody killed his family.

This is an amazing movie! I tend to think Prot was a real alien, inhabiting the body of the human. The reason I think this because when they were in the planetarium, Prot knew the coordinates of planetary bodies that no one on Earth knew of except the top astronomers, because it was only a recent discovery.
If Prot wasn't an alien, how did he know, he obviously wasn't one of the elite in the astronomy community.

Yeah, that scene is really amzing and when I saw the movie I couldn't help wondering how, considering that guys background, he knew all of that...It's really something to make you doubt the ending they give in the movie...
