The Grandson and me watched Close Encounters of the Third Kind again today. Always an incredibly moving experience for us both, we share the same excitement for the arrival of the huge mothership. The high point is always when it finishes the finale two notes of the famous five note phrase. We literally punch the air when it's done and I always have a tear in my eye.
This time though we opted for the Collectors Edition. There was definitely new stuff in it we'd never seen such as part of the beginning and the inside of the mothership with Roy at the end. Some parts were missing too, notably the bit were Roy chucks all the bushes in his garden through his front room window.
Next time we'll watch the Directors cut to see what Steven Spielberg kept in, chucked out and most importantly added.
We both agreed it's an utterly fantastic movie, maybe the best sci-fi film ever.
An event sociological.
Is it a film you like?
