	Close Encounters of the Third Kind - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) is a science-fiction movie about UFOs, written and directed by Steven Spielberg.
		Close Encounters was perhaps the most important science fiction movie up to that point to introduce benign or even kind aliens, a sharp departure from the 'evil monster' style of most earlier films.
		Indiana electrical lineman Roy Neary (Dreyfuss) experiences a close encounter of the second kind (a sighting that leaves physical evidence) and thereafter becomes obsessed with UFOs, to the great dismay of his family.

		Close Encounters of the Third Kind: (John Williams) Although overshadowed by the release of Star Wars and Superman in the same 18 months, Close Encounters stands alone as one of William's classic scores.
		The style of Close Encounters is much different than that of those other two scores; it is a suspenseful and sometimes downright terrifying film and score.
		His scores for George Lucas' Star Wars and Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind were both commercial and critical successes, and introduced the sounds of a symphony orchestra to a new generation of filmgoers.

		"Close Encounters" is most stunning when it is dealing in visual and aural sensations that might be described as being in the seventies Disco Style.
		Following this initial, quite magnificent display of the movie technicians' special-effects wizardry, "Close Encounters" settles down to crosscutting between scenes of Roy's seemingly lunatic efforts to find the U.F.O.'s again, and the efforts being made by an international team of scientists who are preparing themselves for the second coming (of the U.F.O's).

		Not because it's scary — a la Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, or even Spielberg's own Jaws, which were numbers one and two on the list, respectively — but because the possibilities it brings to life are electrifying in their potential.
		The cut of Close Encounters offered on the first disc of Columbia/Tristar's two-disc Collector's Edition DVD maximizes both the movie's magic and its mystery, wisely combining elements of both the original 1977 theatrical version and the Special Edition, which came out about a year and a half later.

		Close Encounters of the Third Kind, a genteel yet uncompromising hypothesis of benevolent flying saucers, seems structurally patterned after that day: domestic chaos, then military parades, then fireworks.
		It's a film now in its third incarnation; Columbia Tri-Star's DVD version, like their recent-vintage LaserDisc that preceded it, contains a Spielberg-sanctioned melding of the 1977 and 1980 theatrical releases, the latter the controversial "Special Edition" that effectively ransacked the imagination of fans.
		(In this section is where you, and Roy, can see inside The Mothership.) Close Encounters of the Third Kind: The Collector's Edition comes in a two-piece, combination cardboard-plastic box that's not quite as inviting as Columbia's mock hardcovers that house Men in Black and Lawrence of Arabia, to name a couple.

	Close Encounters Of The Third Kind (1977)
		Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) is director/writer Steven Spielberg's first film after the enormously successful blockbuster Jaws (1975).
		Appearing in the late 1970s, it was a soulful, beguiling, magical, and benevolent look at 'close encounters.' Although the film appeared during the post-Watergate period and exhibited an obvious distaste for government intervention, its optimistic, loving portrayal of alien encounters was unusual, and set it apart from most science-fiction alien-encounter films of an earlier era.
		The opening scene is the first of over a half dozen set-pieces of 'close encounters,' all seemingly unconnected events, that provide clues, which ultimately culminate in the extraordinary climax of the film.

		In Close Encounters, Williams discarded the leitmotif approach of Star Wars in favour of a developmental score progressing from pure atonality to a breathtakingly romantic conclusion.
		Unlike previous treatments of the music in Close Encounters (from vinyl to 8 track to cassette to CD), not only is there a ton more music here than previously released, but it is arranged in an amazing manner.

		However, as a musical experience, Close Encounters is much more a score to be appreciated for its cleverness rather than simply enjoyed as great music.
		Close Encounters can be disturbing, at times is very uncomfortable but, at other times, simply inspired.

		Her performance is so raw and compelling that she almost single-handedly grounds the proceedings in reality, while Truffaut presides over the governmental machinations with such benign grace, radiating kindness, that he almost seems like an other-worldly creature himself.
