The film's wealthy and charming main character is in a car crash with his psychotic admirer and his face is horribly disfigured.  Consequently, he suffers from some real self-esteem issues, and his newly found romance with the girl of his dreams fades out almost before it began.  However, he takes advantage of new technology which allows his brain and consciousness to continue "living" in a dream-like state while his body is cryogenically frozen.  This advanced program allows the participant forget his/her "death", thus providing a self-guided illusion of reality making the person believe that he is still alive.  After the point where the dream begins (the moment of the splice is indicated in the movie) everything is basically a very realistic dream.  Like in all dreams, what happens is controlled (at least subconsciously) by the person experiencing the dream.  The strange things that happen in the second half of the movie (the two female characters switching back and forth, his face switching back and forth between being disfigured and not, the strange circumstances surrounding his crime) are products of his own mental torment.  Finally, the people who run the dream program make contact with the main character within his dream and inform him of what has been going on.  He realizes the truth and is thus able to come to terms with what has happened.  At the very end, he chooses to end the dream and come back to life.

I like the title "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". I know it's a story of human beings meeting kindly aliens and my love life is not that story - well, maybe it is - except I am not sure who is the alien and who is the human being, and who was kind and who was not so kind.\n\nHowever, the movie was very hopeful, so I will be too. Sometimes, we human beings can feel alien even in love, but if we hang on, perhaps the feeling of alienation will dissipate as we fly to another world.

I agree with you. I thought it was a very intense movie also. I was also taken by the elements you mentioned shown in the movie. One thing that always bothers me in these type of films is the fact that if the characters are alerted of danger they disregard the warnings. For instance in this movie the siblings are warned by a psychic who describes in detail the horror that awaits them. The woman is so sincere she almost starts crying. What's up with that? Wouldn't any rational person feel there's some legitimacy in what the concerned person is saying? I would. All in all it was a good movie and tough on the nerves!

Absolutely loved the film.  Only Munich BARELY edged it out for bets film of last year (but only barely).  It's one of the few open and honest films about the subject of oil and the Middle East.  I was also stunned at the storyline involving the recruitment of the young terrorist.\n\nAmazing stuff.

YES!!! AND YES!!! My husband and I loved the movie Hostle.  We went to see it when it first came out.  It's amazing it's based on a true story.  Although most have agreed that the first half of the movie is all breasts and the second half all gore.  I personally thought the first half went very slow but knowing that it's based on a true story... It will definately be one WE OWN ON DVD!!!  \n\nWhat did you think?

ME! One of my faves also. It was the first "serious" movie I ever watched and Natalie Portman made a big impression on me. I was pretty young so I  wanted to learn to be a "Professional" like she did for a while... is that weird?

Me and two friends saw it on saturday.  It was good, I liked it.  I wouldn't recommend seeing it though unless you love romantic flicks because it has nothing but romance in it.  It's a really cute film the only thing was it was hard to keep track of events and who lived in the present and who lived in the past and one key event in the story was very obvious in the beginning...I'll give it a 2.5/5 though, only see it if you like romance movies...if you don't you probably won't like it, but if you're into romance movies defaintly give it a try.

Whew-- Here's a question to all those who post about religious folks and non-religious folks... Are we ever going to settle this? Yeah didn't think so.\nStill I commend Wrathpuppet and the more thoughtful responders by espousing their beliefs in as clear a manner as possible, and Schneb- That's got to be one of your shorter replies, kudos on the mutual respect.\n\nI'm going to shy away from a grandiose analogy, for a simpler one that might still fit.\n\nEver went to see a movie the day it came out, was blown away by it, and when you told your friends they needed to see it, and right away, they blew you off? Ya know like they'd heard bad reviews, or just didn't think the material was something they were interested in. But it's killing you because you love and respect these people and you wish them to share in this wonderful cinematic experience... and you're sure if they would just take the time and go, they'd thank you for it later? ** to carry this theme out... it's not that you believe these folks (that you're trying to tell about this great movie) have never seen a good picture before or that they couldn't discover it on their own, it's just that it was SO good for you, SO moving, SO vital, that you really believed if they never saw it, their life would not be as rich as if they had.\n\nShortest answer possible, they think they're doing you a favor or a kindness, you may already have an interesting life that has happiness in it, but they fear for your eternal happiness. \n\nI for one will leave each to their own, and only try an help the ones who say they are unhappy or in some need, and the answer from me rarely will have religious overtones. \n\nMy God is just love. Wrath, judgement, the need to be worshipped and obeyed are the attributes of other's Gods. \n\nThe afterlife does not hold auditions.

I think the movie is great, and I think the Jamaican bobsled team rocks!\n\nBut my question is:\n\nWhat does your relationship with men have to do with the movie \nand/or bobsledding?

I'm glad to see someone else interested in this film!  I've actually heard really good things about it, and i just bought it.  I'm planning on watching it later today based on all the reviews I read, which were very favorable.  On IMDB (which I consider to be a very very good resource for film info), they gave it an average rating of 7.3 out of 10.  \n\nOne of the reviewers made this comment:\n"Without revealing too much of the story, Elijah Wood's character gets kicked out of Harvard for a drug offence he didn't commit. He flies to London to visit his sister and quickly gets caught up in a small group of West Ham United supporting hooligans called the Green Street Elite.\n\nThe film does slightly glamorise the violence, but ends on a moralising note. An engaging storyline, good cinematography and decent cast performances make this a very enjoyable film."\n\nAnyway, I don't know just how violent it is yet, and it's fiction after all, but I'm really looking forward to watching it.  I'll give you an update after I've seen it.  Also, have you seen Football Factory??  Here's a snippet from the summary: "The Football Factory is more than just a study of the English obsession with football violence, its about men looking for armies to join, wars to fight and places to belong."\n\nI figure if I like Green Street Hooligans I might like Football Factory, so I might get that one, too.\n\nHere's a link for Green Street Hooligans:\nhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385002/\n\nHere's one for Football Factory:\nhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385705/

I loved it. 9/10\n\nit's been a couple years since I've watched it, and I'd love to watch it again. Sissy Spacek (who plays the mom) is absolutely wonderful in the movie. \n\nI remember there were certain scenes of the movie that wasn't even in the book and they left out some parts, which disappointed me just a bit. but other than that, Tuck Everlasting's great.
