Close Encounters of the Third Kind	comment	Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a 1977 science fiction filmnote Spielberg insisted it was "science fact" written and directed by Steven Spielberg, with a score by John Williams and special effects by Douglas Trumbull.After a series of bizarre incidents where long-lost ships and aircraft begin reappearing in very unusual places around the world, a wide swath of the state of Indiana is buzzed by a very flashy troupe of UFOs. One of the many witnesses to this flyby is power-company employee Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss). Following the event, Neary is inflicted with visions of a distinctive-looking mountain. His family life quickly falls apart, and his wife Ronnie (Teri Garr) leaves him.He eventually learns that what he has been seeing and obsessively sculpting is the Devil's Tower rock formation in Wyoming. He meets fellow witness Jillian Guiler (Melinda Dillon), a widowed mother desperately seeking her young son Barry, who has been carried away by the UFOs. They attempt to reach the Tower, even as the U.S. government, well aware of what is happening, concocts a biohazard scare involving the derailment of a train carrying nerve gas and places a military cordon around the site...This film is one of only three in Spielberg's entire career for which he wrote the screenplay as well as directed, the others being A.I.: Artificial Intelligence and The Fabelmans. The original version was released in 1977; a "Special Edition" Re-Cut was released in 1980 after Spielberg had proven he was a serious director. (There had been Executive Meddling with the cut of the original, though entirely justified as the studio was going bankrupt and production had to be hastened.) Spielberg re-edited the film yet again for a "Collector's Edition" in 1998. All three cuts were included in the film's Blu-ray release in 2007, along with a new interview with Spielberg explaining the editing.The title comes from UFOlogy, an encounter of the third kind being one in which the observer sees the aliens themselves as well as their craft.François Truffaut, better known as a film director and a leader of the French New Wave, appears here as Lacombe, a scientist researching the UFOs who is sympathetic to Roy.

Imagine a ship the size of a town decked out with neon Christmas lights. Originally the mothership was supposed to be hugely impressive but a bit menacing. In fact, Trumbull was about to get all Freudian and have the underside of the ship resemble a giant breast. Then Spielberg, filming in India, drove six nights in a row past a gigantic oil refinery that was all lit up in a million colors, full of interesting antennae, walkways and pipes, and the "city of light" was born. Bless you, Bharat Petroleum◊.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind / int_1ba5dc68	comment	The Greys: The extraterrestrials were physically modeled after real-life accounts of alien abductions. This is one of the first times they were actually used in cinema, the first having been in 1956's Earth vs. the Flying Saucers. Also an Unbuilt Trope, as Spielberg deliberately gave the Grays different heights, intending to show that their species had the same kind of diversity as ours. Most abduction accounts and subsequent fiction describe the Grays as all identical. The initial tall alien was a marionette. It was impossible to completely film it without the strings showing except in the shots visible in the movie, which is why you only see it the once. The other aliens at the end were all played by young girls, Spielberg felt that "girls move more gracefully than boys."

Close Encounters of the Third Kind / int_2dc0d2bf	comment	During the press conference with the military brass, Roy pokes a hole in their condescending lecture, pointing out he is not some UFO conspiracy nut; he was never interested in them until he saw one up close. Later, when the military tries to deflect the questions, Roy calls them out on it, loudly. He is very close to taking control of the meeting, until the old farmer (Roberts Blossom — possibly his best known performance) derails the whole thing by claiming to have seen Bigfoot. It shows that Roy is quite an effective leader when he can pull himself together, something that becomes clear once he gets to Devil's Tower.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind / int_56515a39	comment	Artistic License – History: "Devil's Tower, Wyoming was the first national monument erected in this country by Theodore Roosevelt in 1915." Impressively, just about everything in this sentence is wrong. To start with, national monuments are designated. "Erected" falsely implies that Devil's Tower is a work of human construction rather than the natural formation it is. Next, the year is wrong. Roosevelt designated Devil's Tower as a national monument in 1906, not 1915. Indeed, Roosevelt wasn't even president in 1915.note Woodrow Wilson was. It is true that Devil's Tower was America's first national monument, however.

During the final scene, of course, a mothership comes 'round a mountain. After Roy's initial encounter with the UFO near the railroad, once he hears the news on the radio he storms off, his truck being followed by a huge shadow that more than resembles the mothership which appears during the movie's climax. During the press conference with the military brass, Roy pokes a hole in their condescending lecture, pointing out he is not some UFO conspiracy nut; he was never interested in them until he saw one up close. Later, when the military tries to deflect the questions, Roy calls them out on it, loudly. He is very close to taking control of the meeting, until the old farmer (Roberts Blossom — possibly his best known performance) derails the whole thing by claiming to have seen Bigfoot. It shows that Roy is quite an effective leader when he can pull himself together, something that becomes clear once he gets to Devil's Tower.

Neary is holding up a map up in front of him while driving, causing his car to drift out of his lane and almost crash into oncoming traffic, becoming a poster child for future distracted driving laws.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
Close Encounters of the Third Kind / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The mothership has an R2D2 attached to its underside, among other things, including a mini graveyard and a VW van. The model, which is about the size of a large wedding cake, now resides in a glass case at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy center, an annex of the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum, located in Dulles, Virginia. Definitely worth a look if you're in the neighborhood. The Ten Commandments, Days of Our Lives, and Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century are all seen on the Neary family TV set at various points. In one scene, we can also see models of the Enterprise and a Klingon battle cruiser in their house. A musical shout-out that borders on Actor Allusion: Briefly, during the Devils Tower musical sequence when contact is trying to be made with the alien ship, the Jaws theme can be heard briefly. John Williams wrote both soundtracks, and Richard Dreyfuss was in both CE3K and Jaws. invoked The scene where Jillian grabs Roy's hand while he is hanging onto the side of the mountain right before they see the landing site resembles that of Cary Grant's hanging on Mount Rushmore before he is helped up in the film North By Northwest. Note that Mount Rushmore is only about 90 miles away from the Devil's Tower.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind / int_cdfe12c3	comment	Nothing Is Scarier: The scene where a UFO causes a collision scare with some airliners could have been a big set-piece with lots of miniatures and special effects, shot from the perspective of the pilots. Having the scene play out entirely thought radio conversations and display screens at Air Traffic Control not only saved quite a bit of money, it also heightened the suspense and kept the ships' actual appearance concealed until the final scene at Devil's Tower, where The Reveal is truly spectacular.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind / int_e0aed924	comment	No Antagonist: When it comes down to it in the end, there are no villains in this film. This is what made the movie such a refreshing take on alien contact in its time. The aliens are strange and mysterious and do some ethically questionable things, but they aren't overtly hostile and give everything and everyone back. The government creates a huge lie to clear Devil's Tower for the aliens to drop by, but you really can't blame them — they're meeting a possibly dangerous, obviously superior alien race. They would want the area clear for privacy and to have an army ready in the background just in case the aliens (or gun-toting human civilians) came out shooting. On a smaller scale, Ronnie Neary is a bit of a bitch, but you really can't blame her for being freaked out by Roy's crazy behavior and wanting to protect her kids. She does, however, put a little too much stake in the what-will-the-neighbors-think concern.

He gets swept into constructing Devil's Tower models like several other people for reasons he does not understand. Then he realizes he's supposed to go to Devil's Tower and does, again only because he's compelled to. In the end he makes it past the army who are only trying to make sure First Contact goes smoothly, and gets to go on the alien spaceship, making him the "winner". Compare his fellow trying-to-reach-the-aliens person Jillian, who is at least trying to find her lost son.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind / int_f511ea9b	comment	Product Placement: This film had a prominent Budweiser commercial, as well as the scientists' vans camouflaged with brand names. Spielberg has been criticized for overusing product placement in his pictures. The 1980 Special Edition featured an extended version of the flyby scene where one of the UFOs stops briefly to read a McDonald's billboard before disappearing into the night. This vignette appears only in that version. When Roy, Jillian, and Larry are escaping the Army camp, they pass by workers unloading crates labeled from various defense contractors at the time, such as Lockheed, Rockwell, and TRW. Given consumers are not likely to purchase products from these firms, this may be less product placement and more an attempt at accuracy, as it is just this type of firm which would be involved in this sort of operation.
