One of them probably replied “Well I told you not to keep those pilots we abducted for 30 years, even dumb humans aren’t going to put up with that shit”
This is my favourite sci-fi film all time, I remember crying buckets at the end. It still leaves me wondering what intelligences are out there since we cant comprehend the universe. Thanks for posting this.
Me too.. I was 14 when this opened, and my friends and I stood on line at the movie theater on a very cold December night. The only seats inside the theater were within the first 20 rows,. And of course the screen was gigantic and there were big speakers everywhere. We didn't know what hit us. Afterwards nobody spoke, we just gave each other blank stares. The movie was on my my mind all winter, I saw it a couple of more times, and it still leaves me thinking as to what might be out there
It's a subtle twist on UFO mythology that often goes overlooked when talking about this movie. Here, you are given the impression that the extraterrestrials are innocently curious about humanity and human civilization, and simply aren't sure about an appropriate way to communicate or fully reveal themselves. It probably has not occurred to them that their sporadic appearances would cause disruption or make the other sentients worry they were malevolent. They just don't know what to do! The communication via tonal scale showed them that the humans had the capacity to potentially understand their way of thinking, and so they were encouraged to be brave and risk landing.
@@bluedotdinosaur I remember reading a novella about human spaceship and alien spaceship meeting each other by chance in nebula they both are studying at the same time. Situation becomes tense as both sides want to do everything they can to ensure their safety and still open paths of diplomacy. It is revealed that aliens have vastly different biology (see in IR-light, breathe ammonia and communicate with microwaves) and similar as well (two genders and only one gender crews for such mission) and technology (use of nuclear technology, FTL spacecraft). In the end both species decide to change their ships and despite knowing value of cultural artefacts (equivalent of novels) they do not exchange them. One of human crewmen, communications officer in the believes that humanity and aliens might be able to coexist peacefully as they are unlikely to compete and culturally they get along as he and alien equivalent told each other dirty jokes during short moment of idleness at the end.
The idea of aliens have changed so much since the 70's. Now it's predicted and believed that there are many many different races and there is even the idea that our government is already working with and aliens are living among us, ones that look very similar to us, as well as the greys, the tall whites, and others. Is it true? Who knows but if you want to hear some wild stories listen to adbudctee and contactee stories.
Similar age (48), saw this on tv in the 80s and was fascinated. Visited Devil’s Tower last summer, it’s a pretty cool place. Did not see any aliens though.
I visited Devils Tower a few years ago. Because of this movie, I was disappointed in the fact that there was no landing site at the base. Lol I hiked all the way around the base. Ever since the movie came out, I was 9, I always wanted to visit it. Overall not disappointed one bit
Still remember the Twilight Zone episode where the aliens were there to "serve man". As one guy boarded their ship, someone yelled at him, "We mistranslated it!" "To serve man is a cookbook!"
A whole movie about mystery, answers, the unknown and a constant question of danger. Only to understand the whole premise was a lead up to 2 universal beings sharing a formal greeting for the first time. Simple but powerful.
So, if I'm not mistaken there's three types of biological aliens in this movie: the tall messiah-esque alien that appears first, the 'children', and the 'smiling alien' or 'communicator' that shows up last. Unless those last two types were meant to be the same. The last one looks so different, though.
He was transformed. See the extended version with scenes from inside the ship. Also notice Roy's smile is recognizable even after being transformed.@@batfleckforever3594
The "children" are biological robots, like workers. They were sent out first for safety. The last one is the actual alien that went out after, when it noticed it was safe.
Yes, they were 3 separate species! According to the documentary that's on the Director's Cut DVD, Spielberg explained that he wanted the aliens to represent the diversity of types of beings on their planet, just like there are different human nationalities. It's funny you should mention that, though, because I remember when I watched this with my father as a kid, he thought that the first alien was their leader and was anemic and dying, and when Roy enters the ship, in the special edition anyway, all that light comes down on him inside the ship, and in the next scene, the tall alien comes out - my father thought the tall alien was Roy transformed into their new leader! I never thought so, but still thought it was a possibility until Steven Spielberg set the record straight!
We would only be so lucky to have a neighbor like these peoples. The randomness of reality suggests we could be next to an analogue of a predatory hive like ants, interstellar giant carnivorous Ants
And the aliens seem to smile the same way we do, which is unlikely. Even our closest relatives, apes, have a different meaning when they "smile". It means that they are angry. A couple of years ago, a Dutch woman visited the same gorilla in the zoo every day because she thought he smiled at her. The frustrated ape found a way to escape and he attacked the woman, who luckily survived.
@@SquirrelMonkeyCom If it was possible would you attempt the version of a smile or happy emotion that an alien diplomat was showing you? Maybe this alien understands this about us and does this. Intelligence would recognise the value of understanding social skills between races.
the film is based on true encounters and the ending scene is based heavily on the alleged Holloman and Edwards AFB encounters in which treaties and a exchange program supposedly occured, and humans went with the aliens to their planet as part of the so called serpo expedition amongst others
@@shawntipton5078 That's actually pretty fascinating. I would need proof but I also understand that on both sides you can't freak out your population. Prime Directive and all that.
Seriously!! Steven should do it. Revisit this amazing story. Go back to Devils Tower. What have we learned since? The circle needs to be completed. This is one of my favorite films
I doubt that he even wants to get home. Just look around what's happening in the world. I would leave this planet for good if I could and never look back.
I heard that they ripped him apart after conducting experiments and jettisoned his remains out into space. They then came back in their true forms in Independence Day to try to take over the earth. 😂
Spielberg's love of Pinocchio and The Blue Fairy (also seen in his film A.I.) comes out in John Williams' score here. "When You Wish Upon a Star." Starting at 00:50.
Because Steven knows, better than just about any filmmaker alive, how to hit that emotional payoff we all want. Those feelings, those memories, what we all IMAGINE it might be like to experience this. And he knows how to photograph it for maximum impact. The way Puck turns his head wondering back at us. Turn all of that footage over to John Williams and you end up with this landmark scene that still moves people. When Kathleen Kennedy saw this film in 1977 it affected her so much she decided she was going to work in film. True!
I read somewhere that the alien that came out at the end was Neary. When he was in the ship there was those crystals that rained on him and he turned into their form. Something about it was the only way to travel in space at those speeds. Might have been in the book. I just don't remember where I saw it.
0:55 - another musical reference (apart from the Jaws theme, in 'the conversation' scene), here we get 'when you wish upon a star'. Such a good soundtrack :)
It's really a beautiful masterpiece besdies E.T. What confuses me usually was Roy's wife and kids didn't see him leave with the aliens in the end. If only they were in the ending, Ronnie would finally believe him and even encourage him to go. I know a sequel or a remake might ruin it but what if they made either to have Roy return to Earth and reunite him with his estranged family too?
Wrong! Travis Walton is on record stating that the movie, 'Fire In The Sky' was nothing like his actual experience. It was highly fictionalized. He has actually stated that he believes that he was taken so that the entities could save his life after he ran toward the craft as it was attempting to leave.
Bullseye. My favorite part of any movie that I have ever seen. In 1970, a taxi hovered 40 feet away from me, only 10 feet off of the ground for a full minute of itinerary. Plucking Linda B. was a no go. Me? Better luck next time. What do I need, a written invitation?
So inside the mother ship was cut out but during that scene (inside), wonder if Roy turn into an alien. After that scene it cuts here where the alien walks out and gives the symbol and smile.
I've recently come across a fan theory that the alien that says "hello" to Francois Truffaut was actually Roy Neary: the theory is that the shower of stars inside the spaceship somehow turned him into the alien. I love this idea! In 40+ years of watching and loving this film that thought never occurred to me.
Would make sense, I’ve always wondered why the alien waving at the end was tall and skinny and looked different than the rest, some people also claim there’s different types in this movie, or that it was there leader.
Some people who claim to have actually met aliens talk about "tall greys" and "short greys". I assume the alien who said "hello" was a " tall grey". @@DroipHD
It was the human stories that did it for me. Yep, the depiction of 'friendly' aliens was (is) gorgeous, but the human wonderment in being there, phew. We're a funny lot, aren't we?
This ending is allegedly based on Project Serpo when DIA sent 12 American astronauts to Planet Serpo in the Zeta Reticuli Star System 3rd Planet orbits Zeta Reticuli 2. Source Project Blue Book.
@@acat7798 I don't know what this track is called, but it sounds like the "if you wish upon a star" theme from Pinocchio. That is also Disney's main theme.
The only problem I have with this movie was the scene where the little boy was abducted and then later learning that they’re actually friendly. Where those two plot elements contradict each other. A scene with some discussion as to why a friendly species would do this would’ve been productive. Now, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen the movie all the way through. So forgive me if that did happen and I simply don’t recall.
Spielberg has mentioned that since becoming a father, the ending seems wrong to him. On the other hand, there are tons of people that regret having children or ghost them after the relationship ends with he other parent.
Roy had pretty much lost his family. Granted, he might not have, if none of the alien stuff had happened. But it did, and his family reacted the way they did: abandoning him. So he wasn't leaving a supportive, nurturing wife and loving children. They left him.
There's nothing better in an alien movie than finding out they're friendly. It turns off the horror aspect
Arrival comes to mind.
turns on the boredom aspect
Some are. Others are not-Just like mankind.
Do real life reports not fascinate you? They don’t seem to be good or bad, just neutral but frightening stuff revolving around them none the less
@@mitchell7309 they absolutely fascinate me, and some of the reports are very unnerving to say the least but as you said, most are neutral
I always imagined the aliens in this scene asking among themselves, "Where the hell are all the people we invited? Only one guy showed up!"
For real, they went all over the world lol
One of them probably replied “Well I told you not to keep those pilots we abducted for 30 years, even dumb humans aren’t going to put up with that shit”
John Williams's score is phenomenal. Blending his music with the music from Wizard of Oz, was a masterclass.🥰

Still remember the Twilight Zone episode where the aliens were there to "serve man". As one guy boarded their ship, someone yelled at him, "We mistranslated it!" "To serve man is a cookbook!"
There was a reenactment of that cookbook line in the 2nd naked gun movie. And it was done by the same actor from the zone episode.
And the main alien was the guy who played Jaws in 2 bond movies :)
R ight who says alien life would be peace full
what is it about this that makes it so incredibly moving? Truffaut's face is almost entirely captures it.
One of the greatest soundtracks in cinematic history
John Williams is on fire here. Utterly amazing!!
Even though this was filmed in 76… the cinematography looks and feels very 80-82.
Roy went because the Aliens offered affordable health insurance.
Yeah, including dental.
Medicare For All
And he would never be asked about auto insurance warranty quotes.
Yeah, but then they annihilated his anus.

They don’t force him on. It’s his choice to go with them
