Oct 26, 2001 · October 26, 2001. 3 min read. If a visitor from another planet appeared among us in human form and told the truth about his origins, no doubt he would be treated like Prot, the hero of ”K-PAX,” who finds himself locked in a closed ward of the Psychiatric Institute of Manhattan. He might not, however, be as lucky as Prot in his psychiatrist.
42. In K-PAX, there are two possible explanations: Prot is crazy. He is truly an alien. There are facts that indicate 1, but also 2. Examples: He seems to respond to hypnosis, has a sort of phobia of water, looks just like his friend and doesn't physically leave.
K-PAX takes the old fish-out-of-water structure, and manages to elevate it to a level where it becomes more than just a wacky comedy about a nutty space alien walking among us. The source material has a lot to do with it - it's based on a thoroughly involving novel by former psychiatrist Gene Brewer - but it's the two stars that make K-PAX eminently watchable.
In "K-PAX," enigmatic patient Prot insists he's from the distant planet K-PAX, challenging the boundaries of reality. As his psychiatrist delves into Prot's mesmerizing tales, he confronts his own beliefs, blurring the line between sanity and the extraordinary.
