Title: Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Author: Towlson, Jon;
Year: 2016
Description:
For many, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (CE3K) is not so much a movie as a religious experience. On its release in 1977, "CE3K" virtually redefined the science fiction film, shifting it away from spaceships, laser guns, and bug-eyed monsters into a modified form of science fiction that John Wyndham once called 'logical fantasy'. What would it be like if extra-terrestrials made contact with people on Earth? How would it feel? Like "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968), "CE3K" is concerned with mankind's evolution towards the stars, towards a state of transcendence. But Spielberg's vision hinges not so much on cool scientific intellect being the key to our next stage of evolution, as on the necessary development of emotional intelligence. To that end, we must regain our childlike curiosity for what lies beyond the skies, we must recover our capacity to experience wonder. Intensity of emotion is inherent to the film's meaning, and the aim of this book is to explore this in detail. Along the way it delves into the film's production history, explores Spielberg's remarkable cinematic realisation of the film (including a comparison study of the three different release versions), and considers in detail how "CE3K" fits into the Spielberg oeuvre.
