    CLIP DESCRIPTION:
    Lacombe (François Truffaut) makes direct -- and friendly -- contact with one of the aliens.
    FILM DESCRIPTION:
    Steven Spielberg followed Jaws (1975), his first major box-office success, with this epic science fiction adventure about a disparate group of people who attempt to contact alien intelligence. Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) is an electrical lineman who, while sent out on emergency repairs, witnesses an unidentified flying object, and even has a "sunburn" from its bright lights to prove it. Neary's wife and children are at first skeptical, then concerned, and eventually fearful, as Roy refuses to accept a "logical" explanation for what he saw and is prepared to give up his job, his home, and his family to pursue the "truth" about UFOs. Neary's obsession eventually puts him in contact with others who've had close encounters with alien spacecraft, including Jillian (Melinda Dillon), a single mother whose son disappeared during her UFO experience, and Claude Lacombe (celebrated French filmmaker François Truffaut), a French researcher who believes that we can use a musical language to communicate with alien visitors. Lacombe's theory is put to the test when a band of government researchers and underground UFO enthusiasts (including Neary) join for an exchange with alien visitors near Devil's Tower, Wyoming. In 1980, a "Special Edition" was released. While its primary selling point was the addition of scenes inside the alien spaceship, Spielberg claimed that he also cleaned up some choppy editing in the second act.

A brief, single intimate moment when two races of beings separated by light years and eons share a simple, gesture-led acknowledgement of eachother. That’s all you get. That’s all anyone could ask for.

      I think especially in the scenes with low light or the parts where the aliens are just a silouette with bright lights behind them, these special effects work even better than modern cgi. When the little aliens come out of the spaceship and select Roy, this scene seems very real... even though almost 50 year old effects. It may have been better if this movie never showed the aliens in clear lighting. Should have been left obscured. The only scene that doesn't hold up is the alien who does the hand signs. Too rubbery looking

    This scene really sums up the beauty of the whole film: We are not alone in this vast universe. This film establishes that wonderful sense of first contact between our human race and visitors from outer space. It's understandable how there needed to be top secret handling and control of the situation. These are trained military men and scientists. Such a first meeting would call for such measures. Imagine a scenario, to a general population of common citizens. 1) the aliens come in peace and friendship, but there's some crazy nutcase in the crowd who thinks they're a threat and attacks them, which results in starting a war with otherworldly forces. 2) the aliens are indeed hostile and will attack on sight, hence the military would be able to more potentially handle such a crisis with the proper defence. All in all, it's impertinent that a controlled situation be called for in matters of first contact with alien life. Fortunately, here we can understand appreciate the beauty that Spielberg portrays, after all that's happened: mysterious lights, child abductions (even though the little boy Barry went of his own free will and choice), and other paranormal activity that we don't have answers for, and that fear of the unknown which can make us go crazy or paranoid, but in the end, we discover that these aliens are a peaceful people, and they have reached an understanding with us. It would make sense for them to reach out to scientists and other such people who are open-minded. It makes sense that they do not share anything of technological advancement, until we, as a people, have overcome our own primitive instincts which include violence and warring on each other. But until that time comes, the aliens here have made themselves known to the scientists, and Lacombe leads them with a charismatic smile in his exchange with the little alien, who smiles back. We are not alone...

      Its design is based on a stell plant in India which Spielberg laid eyes on while shooting the "India scene" of this same movie. Owned by Tata Steel, Indian conglomerate. The dome below is basically the lighting of the whole San Fernando valley of which Spielberg took multiple shots.

But I found myself wondering what happened to all the other people who exited the mothership. Its a shame there couldn't be a sequel featuring Roy Neary's return to Earth. However, there would have to be a different actor playing him as he wouldn't have aged.....

    The score was composed, conducted and produced by John Williams, who had previously won an Academy Award for his work on Spielberg's Jaws. Much like his two-note Jaws theme, the "five-tone" motif for Close Encounters has since become ingrained in popular culture (the five tones are used by scientists to communicate with the visiting spaceship as a mathematical language as well as being incorporated into the film's signature theme). The score was recorded at Warner Bros. Scoring studios in Burbank, California
