Short description
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.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on Gene Brewer's novel 'K-PAX' (1995).
- Will Smith was originally considered for the role of Prot, and Kevin Spacey was to be cast as Dr. Powell.
- Prota's sunglasses were borrowed from Bono, the vocalist of U2.
- According to the script, the film's action takes place in New York, however, the Westin Bonaventure hotel, located in Los Angeles, is visible from the windows of Dr. Powell's office.
- The photograph of Robert Porter in the yearbook is actually a photograph of Kevin Spacey in the Chatsworth High School yearbook of 1977.
- The scene where Prota eats an entire banana was shot 27 times.
- Throughout the film, in almost all scenes, you can see light flares. They are especially frequent in Dr. Powell's office during his conversations with Prota.
- Prot's favorite movie is "Man of Steel" (1984). Jeff Bridges starred in it, playing the role of Dr. Powell. The Man of Steel, like Kevin Spacey's character, loved earthly food, but preferred pies to fruit. Interestingly, after the incident with the watering can, Prot talks about the smell of apple pie.
- There is a micro-scene after the end credits. Dr. Mark Powell is looking at the stars through a telescope on his lawn in front of the house at night and smiles mysteriously.
- At the 54th minute, reflections of people can be seen in Prot's glasses, but some of them, such as Dr. Powell, are standing behind him, so their reflections should not be visible in his glasses.
