More importantly, he knows he's right. Up until now it wasn't entirely clear to him if he was really getting contacted by aliens or just going nuts. The fact that government guys are asking him if he's had any contact would be a good sign he's not actually going crazy after all.
They made this whole movie seem so real. Superb directing and acting. Spielberg was so good at these semi chaotic scenes where there is a lot of chatter. I wonder how he felt directing someone like Francois Truffaut?
There's a lot of chatter in this movie that interferes with the dialog and on paper shouldn't work in the movie. Same with the ATC in the beginning; the main ATC guy talking to the plane and 4 spectators around him debating what might be going on. Yet that's exactly what would happen in real life, but in 2024 they'd give us nothing but a sanitized version where everyone had a turn to speak and excess exposition
@@johnmcclain2848 The chatter, is, as you say, how the world of people talking works in real life .. we dont all get to talk in monologues with everyone else listening. Im so happy someone else noticed this about this movie
The interesting part about this is that they missed this completely. When they were talking in French they were thinking that he might be a crank or somebody who just jumped in on this somehow because he made a sculpture rather than a painting or drawing. He was the only one who made a three-dimensional rendition of the location, they didn't know this because he made a sculpture in his living room.
In the book LaCombe and Laughlin had seen Neary before in Indiana when the feds broke up the UFO party he was at with Julian and her son. To see him again in that room only reinforced LaCombes thinking that Neary indeed had a serious close encounter with the aliens.
I left the cinema when this was first released and found it almost impossible to speak for about 2 hours; I wanted to know how Spielberg had gotton into my head and put that on the screen, Genius.
They say he tapped into the fads of the times with this movie (alien visitation) and _Poltergeist_ (ghost hauntings). Too bad he didn't have Indiana Jones fight the bad archeology in _Chariots of the Gods? (1968)_ in class (which might have made him unpopular in 1969 among students) but they decided to go alien on his previous movie so couldn't do it non-hypocritically. Astronomer Carl Sagan said the astronomy parts of that book was bad science but the Egyptology parts seemed interesting; while the Egyptologist he spoke to said the Egyptian parts were bad science, but he found the astronomy parts interesting. Meaning it was all bad science.
Just couldn’t get enough of this movie when it came out. I was 16 years old and probably saw it at the movies at least a half a dozen times. The scene right here felt like it was a documentary. It felt very real. Hadn’t been made today. It would just not have come off the same. Kind of like Jaws, it was just a miracle in film making.
Dreyfuss’s totally sincere line, “I just want an answer . That’s not crazy, is it?” reminds me of Judy Garland’s heart-rending delivery of “There’s no place like home!” At the end if The Wizard of Oz.
One critic said he didn't like the "subplot" of the government keeping those who had a close encounter away from the mountain. But that provides drama for the story; and without it, there wouldn't be much of a movie.
Plus its absurd on its face. Its exactly what the government would do. Hell, the government has been caught colluding with social media companies to bury embarrassing political stories; imagine a discovery that would revolutionize our understanding of science, religion, culture, the universe (and our place in it), technology, etc in an instant? To me its not even a subplot because its so integral to exactly what would happen in real life. It's like calling gravity a subplot
When I think about it, there seemed to be a method to the government's behavior. Yes, they wanted to keep "encounterees" away but wouldn't they have cause to select out the ones who were the *most* determined, the *craftiest*, the ones that were willing to ignore or accept perceived great danger - the ones who drove themselves to Devil's Tower at all costs? Lancome seemed very interested in why Roy ignored the warnings of poison gas - to the point of trying to continue BSsing Roy about it during the interrogation
One of the subtle things make this scene work so well is when they hand Roy the drawing and he just says "yeah, I have one just like it in my living room". It's such a great part of this scene because not only does he just shrug it off as nothing new, but in our minds we're picturing the literal mountain he built, but the others have no clue what he has done :D
@@blackholeentry3489 Dark Star, what a trip that one was. If you want another similar venture, check out Silent Running. It's more serious, but still kind of campy.
Right. When LaComb says, "Go outside and make me a liar [that the air isn't contaminated]." Roy pauses for a moment ("Yeah, let's go outside together right now! I'll show you!"), but he stands his ground insisting on speaking to the man in charge. Roy was about to take LaComb's challenge, but he saw it was a trick to get him off the premises and didn't fall for it. He blew passed their questions, so that he could (rightfully) interrogate the interrogators. One of many subtle moments in this scene, but powerful.
I have felt exactly like Roy Neary feels during and at the end of this scene for the last four years and all of my life. Something is not as it seems...
Everyday I vacillate between "all signs between the lines are pointing towards this reality, and that 'something' new is imminent" and then the flip side of that "we are all crazy, and there's a literal mind virus affecting us, and none of these purported real world close encounters ever happen in any objective sense." I agree with you - I want some frickin' answers, man!
It was a very good movie. Friends of mine worked on it. I even later worked in the hangar where they filmed the VFX as a programmer for the aerospace firm that bought the hanger in the 90s. However there were about 2 great movies a year between 1970 and 76. Most of the traditional directors and studios were churning out snooze fests, blacksplotation movies and car chase crud. Starting in 76, indie film makers started to really push for far better films. That bled into the 80s as one of the best decades in motion pictures with dozens of good movies a year, and about 10 great ones. Hollywood has its ups and downs.
More nostalgic rubbish. We have some incredible films made today. Of course, 40 years ago people were saying the golden era of movie-making was 40 years prior to that time!
@Degjoy Golden ages of film: The late 1920s was the height of silent film craft, art and acting. Then new tech turned most films to cheesy rubbish. The early talkies were bad. Most were musicals with no plot or slapstick comedies. 1938 to 1955 another golden age. Gone With the Wind, Robin Hood and other such epics had finally mastered sound, direction, location/studio and color. 1955 to 1975: new tech again caused a decline. Gimmicks were replied upon but very little substance. Endless remakes of better movies...but in color and cinema scope. Heady movies from studios were boring. Indie films and simplified movies that didn't have the fancy tech were the best in this era. 1976 to 1995: golden age again. The wide screen mastered and excitement were back. CGI tech came in the late 90s and a lot of films replied on the gimmick over actually making a real film. That's when the comic book films really took off. They are much like the plotless musicals of the early 30s. Then there's a million reboots/remakes. Show off the film tech...forget about depth. Rinse and repeat. You are coming into a new golden age as the trite films are not making money anymore vs the cost.
Richard Dreyfus is fantastic in this film. No film in my life has ever meant so much to me. I was 9 years old the first time I saw it. I was so excited to see it, and moved beyond words. I watch this film at least annually. As a boy I identified with Barry, and as a man I identify with Dreyfus. I would not be the man I am today without Steven Spielberg films as a boy. Thank you
Well, not everyone is prepared to embrace the phenomena. It's okay, Mr. Fox. Just enjoy the film as an adventure tale. Perhaps that melody isn't for your limited range of hearing...
This scene is critical in establishing that Neary, while on the surface, appearing as a regular Joe, is actually a highly intelligent and intuitive human "specimen" among men.
@@RideAcrossTheRiver Just FYI....I've had four "Up close and in my face encounters with craft NOT made upon this earth, going all the way back to the late 60's, when I personally witnessed a 'Classic Flying Saucer' fly low and slow directly over my house at about 10 PM". Although it was dark, my unshielded front porch light lit up quite nicely....and, had I had a slingshot, could have easily 'pinged' it.... it never made a whisper, and was as big as my house.....just one of four direct UFO encounters I've had. As a direct result of this, I've attended the McMenamins UFO Convention three times within the last ten years, even though, for me, it is a 1600 mile round trip. There I've met and chatted with many others, who, just like me, want to find out what's really happening. It is said, our government knows fully well of what is going on, but has been withholding releasing this info out of fear of "upsetting the delicate religious''....that we are not the only intelligent life within this entire vast cosmos. So, if you're "One of those" may I suggest you embrace yourself for an extra-large dose of REAL truth, for it is coming...... whether you like it or NOT! What always gets me....people can so fervently believe in a NON-existent God, and yet totally ignore solid UFO evidence right in front of them! BHE
The Story behind this movie is that is based on an actual close encounter in the 50's , Spielberg just change the place, the year, but the plot of a Mothership making contact is the same
I like how he doesn’t interpret common phrases like yes or no bc he’s spent enough time around English to know what is said. Spielberg is good. Also shout out to the other comments sharing their close encounters.
Schindler's list felt way too phony and contrived for me. I don't care that the subject matter was heavy and real. The film just felt fake. Oh look at this great noir lighting.. Oh look at the way the cigarette smoke moves around his face. The contrived little girl in the red coat in otherwise black and white. It just all felt so contrived. I've never changed my mind on it.
There were certain parts of this movie that I really liked but there were also silly parts that I didn't care for like when all of the alien children came out of the mother ship toward the end and were wondering around among themselves aimlessly. This was done on purpose to make it more family friendly so that young kids wouldn't be afraid to see it which was also the same reason ET was made to look like he was instead of a common gray that would have been more accurate or at least we think... 😊
This movie is a masterpiece with a lot of jaw-dropping scenes. But it's also full of incongruencies and non-sequitur. E.g. how is it possibile that such a big project by us government is led by a non english speaking person (this is actually pointed out by Dreyfuss character, but it's weird anyway). Also, the translator joined the project in one of the very first scenes; but he himself stated he is not a professional translator. Why didn't they think of hiring a professional one since the beginning. The one here is a geographer by profession, which is useful to the plot when decrypting the alien codes; but alien so advanced to know geographic coordinates conventions, would surely have communicated in a more explicit way, making the world globe scene redundant. A lot of scenes in this movie make no sense, but are great from a cinematic point of view
Truffaut's character is based on French UFO researcher Jacques Vallee. If you look up Vallee in the 70's you'll see why Truffaut was cast. Spielberg also wanted to make CE3K an international film. It wasn't all about UFO's and the USA
The first part of this conversation reminds me of the Covid era. The "experts" lying through their teeth and then trying to humiliate members of the public who smelled a rat but weren't able (and would never be able) to "prove" it to the satisfaction of the gate keepers.
French guy: I think we could put him in the helicopter with the others, I will speak to major (I didn't got his name) Translator: Maybe we should check his credibility ? (that sentence is weird, I think the translator mess up "credibility" and "credentials") French guy: No I trust my intuition, those people were chosen at random, they have nothing specials, they were simply at the right place at the right time.
I am so disappointed by this masterpiece movie is it not comes to the Hindi language why don't no because so many in people there in India loves this movie why not come in Hindi language.. please someone do something that problem. if you capable on it..😢😞😞🥺
A great, engaging film, but completely unbelievable. People who insist aliens from outer space visit us every day have NO conception of the mind-boggling size and scope of the universe. If aliens were to ever visit us, it would be the end of a trip that would take decades, even CENTURIES to make. They wouldn't just pop in for a visit and leave. And they would do plenty of research beforehand. By the time they arrived, they would probably know more about us than we know about ourselves. I think it's safe to say that, if we EVER make contact with an alien civilization AT ALL, it will be via long-distance communication, with months or even years between exchanges. I would love to see it in my lifetime, but at 63, I'm not betting on it.
Good points. This movie addressed the fad of the time, just like _Poltergeist_ did ghosts a few years later. There's something like 300 billion stars in the galaxy, and investigating just a 1% sample would be 3 billion! Not sure how many stars they've checked for radio messages, and how many for laser light messages. But it doesn't look like we've taken the study seriously or we'd have been further along. They say the Human Genome Project started in 1990 and would likely take 20 years or so; enough to last people's careers. But it got fast-tracked and finished in 2003.
I don't think it's deliberate awkwardness, more likely cultural stubbornness. I notice whenever I've been to Paris, a certain muted hostility when I ask anyone I speak to, if they speak English. If I speak to them in my very limited French, I've noticed they are friendlier and more willing to communicate. One or two people I spoke to like this, even began replying to me in English just to help! It's a strange world.
For a long time, until recently, French was the international language like English is today. That's why many international institution still use a lot of French. Old people didn't learned any English at school especially in the 70s and would dislike speaking anything else than French. Today it's different, younger people are more willing to learn English. Although, majority would still be not able to hold a full conversation in English. As a 25 yo Frenchman, I am the only one who is proefficient in English in my group of friends
There is speaking another language And being fluent ! Imagine you speak another language well But not a native . Would you want to be tried in Court with just your knowledge ?
1:55 - I love that smile he gives When he says "Who are you people?" He knows something is up.
More importantly, he knows he's right. Up until now it wasn't entirely clear to him if he was really getting contacted by aliens or just going nuts. The fact that government guys are asking him if he's had any contact would be a good sign he's not actually going crazy after all.

Schindler's list felt way too phony and contrived for me. I don't care that the subject matter was heavy and real. The film just felt fake. Oh look at this great noir lighting.. Oh look at the way the cigarette smoke moves around his face. The contrived little girl in the red coat in otherwise black and white. It just all felt so contrived. I've never changed my mind on it.
It is time time for me to rent this film again one word, Bashar.
There were certain parts of this movie that I really liked but there were also silly parts that I didn't care for like when all of the alien children came out of the mother ship toward the end and were wondering around among themselves aimlessly. This was done on purpose to make it more family friendly so that young kids wouldn't be afraid to see it which was also the same reason ET was made to look like he was instead of a common gray that would have been more accurate or at least we think... 😊
During an interigation I it's never a good idea to say how come I know so much? That just made you a liability.
Yes. I met myself.
This movie is a masterpiece with a lot of jaw-dropping scenes. But it's also full of incongruencies and non-sequitur. E.g. how is it possibile that such a big project by us government is led by a non english speaking person (this is actually pointed out by Dreyfuss character, but it's weird anyway). Also, the translator joined the project in one of the very first scenes; but he himself stated he is not a professional translator. Why didn't they think of hiring a professional one since the beginning. The one here is a geographer by profession, which is useful to the plot when decrypting the alien codes; but alien so advanced to know geographic coordinates conventions, would surely have communicated in a more explicit way, making the world globe scene redundant. A lot of scenes in this movie make no sense, but are great from a cinematic point of view
Truffaut's character is based on French UFO researcher Jacques Vallee. If you look up Vallee in the 70's you'll see why Truffaut was cast. Spielberg also wanted to make CE3K an international film. It wasn't all about UFO's and the USA
I love Richard Dreyfus
Have you seen anything resembling a tic tac?
That was a plane in distance in Tic Tac video. 😂
The first part of this conversation reminds me of the Covid era. The "experts" lying through their teeth and then trying to humiliate members of the public who smelled a rat but weren't able (and would never be able) to "prove" it to the satisfaction of the gate keepers.
Well, I'm alive. This is true
I loved growing up in America when I did.
Now, nobody wants to work.
the brillance of hiding half the scene from the audience by having it in French.
When shown in France the other half was hidden……
@@josephpadula2283 It makes you pay attention to plot exposition
Man, how funny would it have been if Roy actually spoke French?
3:20 I said that to my last employer.
2:40 to 2:54 Can someone please translate?
He was asking the translator to find out if his chewing gum lost its flavor on the bedpost overnight.
😂😂
@@RobCCTV Lonnie Donagun
French guy: I think we could put him in the helicopter with the others, I will speak to major (I didn't got his name)
Translator: Maybe we should check his credibility ? (that sentence is weird, I think the translator mess up "credibility" and "credentials")
French guy: No I trust my intuition, those people were chosen at random, they have nothing specials, they were simply at the right place at the right time.

Can someone translate their French?
"Mr. Neary, please , one more question....".french, french, french"? (english} " have you ever voted for Donald J Trump before?
A great, engaging film, but completely unbelievable. People who insist aliens from outer space visit us every day have NO conception of the mind-boggling size and scope of the universe.
If aliens were to ever visit us, it would be the end of a trip that would take decades, even CENTURIES to make. They wouldn't just pop in for a visit and leave. And they would do plenty of research beforehand. By the time they arrived, they would probably know more about us than we know about ourselves.
I think it's safe to say that, if we EVER make contact with an alien civilization AT ALL, it will be via long-distance communication, with months or even years between exchanges. I would love to see it in my lifetime, but at 63, I'm not betting on it.
Good points. This movie addressed the fad of the time, just like _Poltergeist_ did ghosts a few years later.
There's something like 300 billion stars in the galaxy, and investigating just a 1% sample would be 3 billion! Not sure how many stars they've checked for radio messages, and how many for laser light messages. But it doesn't look like we've taken the study seriously or we'd have been further along. They say the Human Genome Project started in 1990 and would likely take 20 years or so; enough to last people's careers. But it got fast-tracked and finished in 2003.
Typical French. They can all speak English but pretend they can't just to be awkward!
I don't think it's deliberate awkwardness, more likely cultural stubbornness. I notice whenever I've been to Paris, a certain muted hostility when I ask anyone I speak to, if they speak English. If I speak to them in my very limited French, I've noticed they are friendlier and more willing to communicate. One or two people I spoke to like this, even began replying to me in English just to help! It's a strange world.
For a long time, until recently, French was the international language like English is today. That's why many international institution still use a lot of French.
Old people didn't learned any English at school especially in the 70s and would dislike speaking anything else than French.
Today it's different, younger people are more willing to learn English. Although, majority would still be not able to hold a full conversation in English. As a 25 yo Frenchman, I am the only one who is proefficient in English in my group of friends
There is speaking another language And being fluent !
Imagine you speak another language well
But not a native .
Would you want to be tried in Court with just your knowledge ?
c’est vrai

Funny how the radiation burn was phased out of the supposed " Real Sightings " then movies after the 70s.
