Una noche, cerca de su casa, en Indiana, Roy Neary observa en el cielo unos misteriosos objetos voladores. Desde entonces vive tan obsesionado por comprender lo que ha visto que se distancia de su esposa.Es el arranque del argumento de una película inolvidable y que ha resistido bien el paso del tiempo. Coetánea de «Star Wars», Nacho Ros nos cuenta cómo el compositor de su banda sonora, John Williams, asiduo colaborador de Spielberg, compitió consigo mismo en los Oscar (ganó la banda sonora de la película de George Lucas). Y otra curiosidad que compartía con los oyentes el director del Festival Internacional de Cine de Cartagena: en las escenas finales de la película, si observamos con detenimiento la enorme nave nodriza, podremos detectar la presencia de una pequeña reproducción del famoso robot R2D2 de «Star Wars».

La película “Encuentros en la tercera fase” fue la gran fantasía que Steven Spielberg siempre quiso realizar. Ya desde niño, contempló una lluvia de meteoritos que le impresionó y le inspiro para realizar su primer largometraje como aficionado: Firelight. Las pasiones y aficiones de Spielberg son la ciencia ficción y la ufológica, y eso se nota en su trayectoria como director de cine. Pero hoy, vamos a centrarnos y analizar su película “Encuentro en la tercera fase”. Análisis de “Encuentros en la tercera fase” I. Introducción “Encuentros en la tercera fase” (Close Encounters of the Third Kind) es una película de ciencia ficción dirigida por Steven Spielberg, estrenada en 1977. Con un enfoque innovador sobre la vida extraterrestre y el contacto humano, esta obra es considerada un pilar del género y una de las contribuciones más significativas de Spielberg al cine. La película no solo se destacó por sus efectos especiales y narrativa visual, sino también por su profunda exploración de la curiosidad humana y la búsqueda de lo desconocido. II. Sinopsis La trama sigue a Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss), un trabajador de líneas eléctricas que tiene un encuentro cercano con un objeto volador no identificado (OVNI). Tras el evento, Roy queda obsesionado con visiones de una montaña, lo que lo lleva a enfrentarse con su familia y a buscar respuestas desesperadamente. Paralelamente, una serie de fenómenos inexplicables y avistamientos de OVNIs en distintas partes del mundo captan la atención de científicos y militares, culminando en un contacto directo con extraterrestres en la Torre del Diablo, Wyoming. III. Temáticas Principales 1. La Curiosidad Humana y el Misterio del Universo La película explora la innata curiosidad humana y la atracción hacia lo desconocido. Roy Neary representa al hombre común cuya vida cambia irrevocablemente tras su encuentro con el misterio del universo. Su obsesión con la montaña es una metáfora de la búsqueda de respuestas y el deseo de comprender fenómenos más grandes que nosotros mismos. Este tema refleja el eterno deseo humano de descubrir y entender lo desconocido, una característica que ha impulsado tanto la exploración científica como la espiritual. 2. La Comunicación y el Lenguaje Universal Un aspecto central de la película es la comunicación entre humanos y extraterrestres a través de un lenguaje musical. La utilización de sonidos y luces para establecer un puente de comunicación refleja la idea de que, más allá de las barreras culturales y lingüísticas, existen formas universales de conexión. La película sugiere que la música, como expresión matemática y emocional, puede servir como un lenguaje universal, capaz de trascender las diferencias y fomentar el entendimiento entre diferentes formas de vida. 3. El Impacto del Encuentro en la Vida Cotidiana Spielberg retrata cómo un evento extraordinario puede alterar la vida ordinaria de las personas. La obsesión de Roy lo aleja de su familia, mostrando el conflicto entre la vida cotidiana y la búsqueda de algo más trascendental. La película cuestiona el sacrificio personal que a menudo acompaña la búsqueda de la verdad y el conocimiento, y cómo este conflicto puede llevar a una transformación radical en la percepción y las prioridades de una persona. IV. Estilo Visual y Efectos Especiales 1. Diseño Visual y Cinematografía “Encuentros en la tercera fase” es conocida por su innovador uso de efectos especiales y su cinematografía. Douglas Trumbull, encargado de los efectos visuales, creó secuencias que siguen siendo impresionantes décadas después de su estreno. El diseño de los OVNIs, con su compleja iluminación y formas, añadió una sensación de maravilla y misterio que contribuyó a la atmósfera del filme. Las escenas en la Torre del Diablo, con sus juegos de luces y colores, simbolizan el clímax del contacto extraterrestre y han quedado como imágenes icónicas en la historia del cine. 2. Música y Sonido La banda sonora, compuesta por John Williams, es una pieza clave en la película. La secuencia musical utilizada para comunicar con los extraterrestres es uno de los elementos más memorables del filme. Williams creó una melodía simple pero poderosa, que se convirtió en el tema central de la comunicación y simboliza el encuentro entre dos mundos. La música no solo acompaña la narrativa, sino que también desempeña un papel activo en el desarrollo de la trama, subrayando la idea de la música como un lenguaje universal. V. Influencia y Legado “Encuentros en la tercera fase” tuvo un impacto significativo en el género de la ciencia ficción y en la cultura popular en general. La película influyó en cómo se representan los encuentros con extraterrestres en el cine, alejándose del enfoque tradicional de invasiones hostiles para explorar una perspectiva más optimista y abierta sobre el contacto con otras civilizaciones. Su enfoque en la comunicación y la curiosidad resonó con audiencias de todo el mundo, y su legado perdura en la forma en que se percibe el misterio del universo y la posibilidad de vida más allá de la Tierra. VI. Conclusión “Encuentros en la tercera fase” no solo es una película visualmente impresionante, sino también una profunda exploración de la curiosidad humana, la comunicación y el impacto del misterio en la vida cotidiana. A través de su narrativa, efectos especiales innovadores y una banda sonora icónica, Steven Spielberg creó una obra que sigue siendo relevante y fascinante. La película invita a los espectadores a reflexionar sobre el deseo innato de descubrir lo desconocido y la capacidad de trascender nuestras limitaciones para conectar con algo más grande que nosotros mismos.

This 1977 film stars Richard Dreyfuss, Melinda Dillon, Teri Garr, Bob Balaban, Cary Guffey, and François Truffaut. It tells the story of Roy Neary, an everyday blue-collar worker in Indiana, whose life changes after an encounter with a UFO. CE3K became Columbia Pictures' most successful film at that time. Assisting in this endeavor are two very special guests! First of all, DANYI DEATS (the daughter of the late DICKY DEATS, the Key Grip on CE3K) shares the experiences of her and her family on the set of the film's finale at the Devil's Tower base! Danyi, who was 9 years old at the time, was one of the child actors chosen to participate in a group of small extraterrestrials who descend from the Mothership. In fact, Danyi was the "alien" who held Richard Dreyfuss' hand as a whole group of them escorted him to the platform to enter the ship! Danyi later appeared in Madonna's music video for "Borderline", and also went on to produce several music videos herself in Hollywood; including "Nothing But Love" by Mr. Big, "Desert Rose" by Sting, "I'm Gonna Getcha Good" by Shania Twain, "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran, and "When the Heartache is Over" by Tina Turner (to name just a small few). Connect with Danyi on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube! Additionally, DENNIS TROMBLY joins Curtis for a conversation about his new YouTube Fanfilm Miniseries, Close Encounters of the Third Kind: Amended. After high school, Dennis began studies at Oakland Community College in Robotics Engineering, fitting for the automotive driven industry. During a humanities class, Film Studies, a professor pointed out his keen eye for observation, detail, and storytelling for film and suggested considering a career in film and television. In this discussion, he shares his love for films, specifically CE3K, and what led to his producing a prequel series for the film.

In the late 1970's Steven Spielberg introduced the world to a cinematic portrayal of one man's obsession with UFOs. In Close Encounters of the Third Kind, electrician Roy Neary (played by Richard Dreyfuss) is prepared to give up his life to pursue the truth about what he saw. The movie is considered a classic in the sci-fi genre and for decades has struck a nerve with those who've encountered things that seem to defy logical explanation. One such encounter happened 2,000 years ago to a priest named Zechariah, and the encounter would not just change his life, but all of history. In fact, in the Gospel according to Luke, the good doctor mentions three separate encounters with angelic beings that are all critically tied to Christmas and the birth of Christ. And each encounter came with a message that matters just as much today as it did then. In part one of this three-part miniseries, I explore both the incredible encounter with and the powerful message of that special Christmas Angel. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks so much for listening to Better Mind, Better Life!

Paul and Ben from Have You Scene This? Podcast join Flixwatcher remotely to review Paul's choice Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Close Encounters of the Third Kind - The Directors Cut is the 1977 Steven Spielberg sci fi classic starring Richard Dreyfus as Roy Neary, the everyman who after a close encounter with an alien spaceship becomes obsessed with the Devils Tower, has a breakdown that cause his wife to to leave him and sets out on a quest to join the aliens. For a film about aliens, actual aliens are mainly absent for the majority of the film and the main focus is on Neary and the French scientist Claude Lacombe,played by French New Wave auteur François Truffaut, as he chases mysterious encounters across the world. Close Encounters features many key Spielberg themes, Light as mystery, ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, John Williams theme, fractured family, absent fathers and some classic child peril. Despite its record breaking box office returns on its release and critical acclaim it hasn't ingrained itself in cinematic history in the same way say Jaws, E.T or Jurassic Park have.   [supsystic-tables id=224] This is reflected on the Flixwatcher scores, even with some top marks from Paul and a decent recommendability, Close Encounters of the Third Kind only scores 3.23 overall What do you guys think?

In this episode Mark talks about one of his favourite films: the 1977 American science fiction film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", written and directed by Steven Spielberg. The premise of the film revolves around the character of Roy Neary (played by Richard Dreyfuss), an electrician from Indiana in the U.S., whose life is changed following an encounter with an unidentified flying object (UFO). Inspired by real life observations and first-hand reports from people who claim to have had "close encounters" with alien spacecraft and extraterrestrials, the film takes the viewer on a journey of discovery as it investigates the possibility of what first contact with beings not of this world may be like. Alongside Richard Dreyfuss, the film also stars Melinda Dillon as Jillian Guiller, Teri Garr as Ronnie Neary, Bob Balaban as David Laughlin, and Francois Truffaut as Claude Lacombe - a French government scientist in charge of UFO-related activities in the U.S. who was inspired by real life UFO expert Jacques Vallée. The film is a fan favourite for lots of people and it's story is one that is captivating and awe-inspiring. The absolutely astounding film score by renowned film composer and long time Steven Spielberg collaborator John Williams is one that resounds long after being heard and is integral to the storytelling of the film in so many fundamental ways. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/markthepoet/message

Richard Dreyfuss stars as Muncie, Indiana electricity lineman, Roy Neary, one of many people in the world to experience a close encounter with a UFO.  Others experiencing the phenomenon exhibit the same odd behavior — radiation burns and an obsession with a mountainous shape. Roy’s obsession strains his relationship with his family, who think he is mentally ill. The eyewitnesses are compelled to converge at a location where the US military also plans for a close encounter of the third kind. Francois Truffaut, Teri Garr, Cary Guffey, and Melinda Dillon also appear in this influential film written and directed by Steven Spielberg.

We did no research for this podcast. We just watched the movie with no plan other than to see if Aaron might enjoy it and find it involving, considering how he doesn't like to watch Spielberg films as he feels manipulated by them (I agree, but I give a few films of Spielberg's a pass). We end up discussing what happened after Roy Neary took off for the stars. And I tell my own UFO story from 1993.
