MYSK: Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Encounter of the third kind

 

In 1977, Steven Spielberg directed a masterpiece. I have admired Spielberg’s work ever since he brought dinosaurs to life in Jurassic Park and Close Encounters is just as amazing and full of life. Close Encounters of the Third Kind is science-fiction but it is not sci-fi like Star Wars, it takes a more believable plot out of the happenings on Earth. Rich Dreyfuss plays the lead character, Roy, an electrician in rural Indiana who begins to notice odd things in the sky and these encounters increase as the movie progresses. 

What I like most about the movie is how much detail and thought have been put into the final product. Throughout several scenes where basic dialogue is occurring, you notice a small dot of light slowly moving through the sky and it makes you shout at the movie, “Turn around! Look at that!.” Yet, the dialogue continues never making mention of the light. The characters all seem very believable, especially Dreyfuss who you begin to worry about as his obsession with UFO’s lead him to do some very odd things, including one scene with mashed potatoes.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a masterpiece of American Cinema and it most definetly needs to be a MYSK. Its makes us think, feel and holler at the TV screen. Any movie that makes you do that is destined to be a classic. Check out the trailer…
