He know what they're going to say and how they're going to approach him... He's kind, patient and listens to them, but he already knows their motivations and the "reasonings"...
George was a kind, loving, caring, compassionate, man who loved life and everything it had to offer not unlike John Travolta!!! I would have told this "doctor" what he could do with his scientific opinion!! George taught more people about the REAL meaning of life!!! In my opinion, this is one of John Travolta's BEST movies!!!
Travolta was phenomenal (yes, I used that word) in this movie. So incredibly sympathetic and so articulate. His intelligence as an actor is a wonderful discovery. I think of all the lesser roles he has played in other movies (or on television) and I have to say this is by far the meatiest role he delivered. Bravo!
The sad part about this scene is that a lot of people don't seem realize they're both right for their own reasons. For every George that exists there's a person with a similar condition who just wants to live. George may be an inspiration to some, but to others he could be a savior.
I think the sadder part is people give up in name of science. I think the bigger message is he lived to tell the two kids on that farm about how life lives on via that apple. That interaction right there was the voyage the journey the expeditions. Not for some microscope. My opinion
Yes, having experienced and observed it over the decades, Professors and Academics with immense knowledge yet possess zero humanity or insight for love and life 🧬
I've always had entities around me and have always been able to manipulate things. It is a dance. It is lila, the cosmic play. Yes, I think I'm nuts but I've been studied on two continents and am sane. I was a paid guinea pig in France for three years recently. This is a nice movie, I loved it.
There wasn't any ill will from the doctor. Naturally he would be enticed at the potential of discovery, but he asked for permission to do it. Though the doctor may be disappointed at him saying no, it is his right to say no.
The doctor might as well have said it straight: "Don't you understand, George? I can publish a paper about this. Maybe more, even. Why, your brain could be my ticket to wealth & fame the likes of which I've always dreamed of!".
Ya know, i feel like magic mushrooms can do extraordinary things for humans. If may not turn you into George but it can do wonders for the human psyche.
What a group of horrible individuals. In the name of science, pseudo science, tech, advancement, or learning the deplorable will always reveal themselves and intentions. The horrible part is that I know about their ways but no one will believe me. I used to believe and care but why do it?
Just think if he had used that intelligence to read medical books, chinese medicine, medicine and herbs from around the world. I'm sure he would have healed himself.
Beside the use of harmonious tongues, this movie reveals a secret. The "possibility" is the ability of the "few" to become "sons of God," and the secret is the key to initiating a gift of "passing on," but Not in death. There are several quickenjngs, but the quickening of the mind does really speed up thought, speech, and reading.
''Phenomenon'' movie is water down version of Scientology and the religion of Scientology is water down version of the occult and science fiction story’s. sadly was great movie until realize Bible and research Scientology.
That's the problem for me also, and you can see in this very comment section all the cynicism about science, and love. But at the end you can't deny the influence of scientology on this movie, and all the poison that it brings.
Hmm, I didn't see that in this movie. It's spiritual but not any particular religion. Spiritual belief, and that we can be more than mud or monkeys, has been around a long time. Good manners, respect, and willingness to do and be more are just a few of the messages in this movie.

There was a movie where Anthony Hopkins said "I would never limit a person's life with Modern medicine" but this scene reminds me of that
George was a kind, loving, caring, compassionate, man who loved life and everything it had to offer not unlike John Travolta!!!

This and face-off
Love this scene always... so much truth that shouldn't be taken lightly...
This is what can happen when a lover of Science, forgets the love of Life.
Or forgets the spirit
more correctly like George mentioned
I love this movie so much.
Respect 2023. Real survived. No more lesions. Pray. God speed.
i want to go HOME
thats the challenge
thats the voyage
thats the expedition
😆❤️😂

And thus, Travolta became a scientologist
I need this movie
great phenomenon - [1996] film human possibility !!!
Thank you.
I always thought this. What is the point of knowing everything if you don't even care about love?
That's the voyage. That's the challenge. That's the expedition. One of my favorite movies from my life
Sometimes Wonders choosing its opportunities in a pretty unpredictable way...that's why they are wonders!

Doc was wanting the glory and the money. Happens in real life too.
I've always had entities around me and have always been able to manipulate things. It is a dance. It is lila, the cosmic play. Yes, I think I'm nuts but I've been studied on two continents and am sane. I was a paid guinea pig in France for three years recently. This is a nice movie, I loved it.
youre not 'nuts', youre different. society tries to tell us 'different' is not favorable.
Beautiful movie, but I still don't understand why he couldn't be saved by the knowledge he might have had in the medical field.

Same tune from Shawshank redemption?
Amen 🙏
His third eye was opened

Because it means something might be there beyond what can be seen

For sure

I wish he would’ve allowed the surgery while he was still alive
He knew that in his soul it wouldn't turn out great for humanity
THE LARGER PICTURE AS THE dOCTOR SAYS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE YOUNG GEORGE.
Personally, I think he should have let them do the surgery.
But he didn't want them to
I did and I lost brain cells due to it I'm still smart but have a hard time remembering things like nutty professor👨🏫.

Love this movie ... but that semi-religious claptrap annoys. He needn't attack science or medicine to say "no thanks".
That's the problem for me also, and you can see in this very comment section all the cynicism about science, and love. But at the end you can't deny the influence of scientology on this movie, and all the poison that it brings.
I think elon musk got hit by the alien light as well...
Is he gonna die soon too then? let's hope
Most probably not. Musk shows no empathy for lesser human beings. I would never characterize Musk as compassionate and patient.
nice argument George, but.....where is God in all that?..ooh I forgot, this is a Scientology movie
Hmm, I didn't see that in this movie. It's spiritual but not any particular religion.
Spiritual belief, and that we can be more than mud or monkeys, has been around a long time.
Good manners, respect, and willingness to do and be more are just a few of the messages in this movie.
You need a good dose of Christopher Hitchins
