So what happened with the lawsuit in which it was alleged K-Pax ripped this movie off? Lawsuit filed in 2001 and no news? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.161.40.97 (talk) 05:36, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Morel's Invention
I changed "short story" for "novel" in this sentence:

"(...) an allusion to Adolfo Bioy Casares' novel, Morel's Invention, (...)" Bass-Kuroi (talk) 18:43, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Last shot
In addition to describing the last shot (a closeup of a photograph of the doctor and his family) in the plot synopsis, is there any speculation about what it means? When I saw it in college we all thought it meant that Rantés was hinting that the doctor himself was one of those "lost" aliens he was talking about. Daniel Case (talk) 07:24, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Unusual
Some of the Movie's Plot description are a bit off. I just watched it on Blu-Ray last night. If it's okay with everyone, I'll start making a few changes.

Omitted details
The plot description includes unnecessary details while omitting some intriguing ones: 1) After being medicated, Rantés faces a direction slightly different than southeast and appears frustrated, as if communication with his home planet has been interrupted. 2) Beatriz performs an odd ritual of changing her shoes before and after visiting Rantés. 3) Rantés confirms to Dr. Denis that Beatriz is indeed an alien and claims that she emits a blue liquid from her mouth when she feels strong emotions. This later occurs when Dr. Denis and Beatriz have sex. 4) After Rantés' death, Dr. Denis finds a photograph showing a younger Rantés and Beatriz, indicating that they were siblings. A third figure seemed to have once been in the photo, but someone tore his or her image out. Dianalarose (talk) 19:14, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
