CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (1977) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | BOSS MOVIE REACTIONS

[@totallytomanimation]

The pilots did not want to report the UFO cause of all the personal and professional ramifications that go along with reporting a UFO. Back then, it could cost a pilot his job and ability to get another job as a pilot, and the whole domino effect that has on a persons life.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yeah, that's kind of what I figured. Thanks for watching! (:

[@MsSomeonenew]

It's not just back then, it's still going on. You do not want a UFO claim on your psych eval.

[@randyburrill2340]

Exactly right.

[@GrantWaller.-hf6jn]

Correct true even now.

[@BobBenson-qz8lp]

That has since changed, supposedly. The government during those congressional hearings, ask to report now and not fear of losing your job. Yes, no more men in black will be visiting.

[@porflepopnecker4376]

I totally understand why Roy and Jillian kiss. It's a platonic, yet very deep and cathartic expression of mutual feeling and understanding, just as is their earlier hug at the train station. I find this to be one of the film's most touching moments.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yes, I understand it as well... (:

but Spielberg said he would have taken it out if he had to do the film over again because Roy and Ronnie were still married.

Towards the end of the movie, there's a grey haired gentleman with a beard, wearing eyeglasses and smoking a pipe who is briefly shown walking towards the craft with others. This was a cameo by renowned professor and astronomer, Dr. J. Allen Hynek who was the person who originated the 'close encounter' classification system that the movie's title is based on. Great reaction.

[@PunkersTV]

My absolute favourite all-time movie. I remember queueing at the Cinema for this. They were showing Star Wars and Close Encounters at my local Odeon, so we just flipped a coin. I was blown away by this as a kid in the 70's. Thank you so much for your brilliant reaction to it. Dreyfus was brilliant, but for me the child actor stole the show. Amazing Movie!!

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yeah, the child actor WAS amazing! (:

[@torikazuki8701]

Actually, when you read how they directed him, he was never actually *acting* at all. For him, it was all a game. But that's how good filmmakers get those 'performances' out of young children, most of the time. Like when they had him smile at the Aliens, he was actually smiling at something goofy they were doing.

[@sweetnumb]

Just FYI, close encounters of each kind were classified by Dr. Hynek in a book he wrote in the early 70s. He classified these encounters as such: "Nocturnal Lights: simply seeing unidentified lights in the night sky. Daylight Discs: seeing a UFO in the daylight. Radar-Visual: a UFO that appears on radar. Close Encounters of the First Kind: seeing a UFO within 500 feet. Close Encounters of the Second Kind: seeing a UFO and experiencing some kind of physical effects (a vehicle malfunctioning, observing animals reacting, feeling heat from the object, etc). Close Encounters of the Third Kind: a UFO sighting in which some kind of alien life is also witnessed. Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind: a UFO sighting in which a person is abducted. Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind: direct contact is made between aliens and humans." And a fun fact: Spielberg consulted with Dr. Hynek while making this film. So without that book we wouldn't have had this movie. As Spielberg initially wrote this movie intending to be about UFOs and shady government cover-ups following the Watergate scandal that he initially titled something like "Watch the Skies." It's interesting, as many of the seeds for this movie were there from the beginning, but then it obviously changed quite a bit as well.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yes, I did read up on Dr. Hynek's classifications after the movie... Very interesting. Thanks for sharing! (:

[@The_Last_KrypTONYan]

It isn’t a Saturday without Mr. and Mrs. Boss! If you want a COMPLETELY different take on aliens that will RUIN your night, check out “The Fourth Kind.” And then of course “28 Days Later.” Told you I wouldn’t stop! Love you guys. Keep up the amazing work!

[@BossMovieReactions]

Haha, great! Happy to be part of your Saturdays. Both movies are on the list. Keep it up! (:

[@IYAMNI]

The little boy wasn't actually acting. All his reactions are real. When he is looking excitedly at the sky and says "toys!" Spielberg was standing on a ladder with what he told the boy was a surprise. Then he pulled out some toys and the boy reacted earnestly. The scene where he encounters the aliens in the kitchen and does the fascinated stare, Spielberg had two of the crew dress up in monkey suits which first made the boy a little scared and then one of the men took off his mask and the boy recognized the man and smiled. That's how Spielberg got his reputation as being great with child actors. There's a documentary about the making of Close Encounters where they go into all this.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Awesome. Thanks for the info! (:

[@RGlinick]

I saw this movie as a teenager. I grew up in the 70’s. I saw this movie in theaters on the big screen. Miss there was nothing. I mean nothing creepy about Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I found it a fascinating and incredible cinematic experience. I was 12 yrs old, 1977. Yes the first alien that came out of the ship, did scare me. I was a kid. Steven Spielberg told such an awe inspiring story about alien encounters and UFO’s without making the movie too frightening. Practical Effects in 1977 were phenomenal! 100% PERFECTION! Thank you both for reacting to one of my childhood movies directed by the great Steven Spielberg. Have a beautiful day.

[@Paul_Allaker8450]

The pilots didn't want to report a UFO, because they can't be bothered with the paperwork and the fear of being accused of imagining something.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yeah, that's what I kind of figured! Thanks for watching! (:

[@dsimon966]

It was a little more than that. Back then pilots were often grounded and possibly lost their jobs if they reported UFOs.

[@davidhabert]

@@dsimon966 It's interesting that you say that, because unfortunately there was an actual event where that did happen to a captain almost 9-10 years after this movie came out, he got busted to a desk job for a number of years before he was reinstated. The name of this incident was called *The JAL1628 or the Anchorage Incident.* This incident happened in 1986, where a Japanese 747 jumbo jet (which was transporting cargo at the time) was intercepted by three UFOs over Alaska. One of these objects was so massive that it made the jumbo jet look like the size of a toy. This massive object was picked up on two radar stations, (one civilian and one military) it even got to a stage where an FAA investigator was sent to examine and collect the evidence. The cabin crew spoke to reporters about their encounter, but because Japanese Airlines was so embarrassed by the captain coming forward and speaking to the media, as I said earlier on, he got busted to a desk job. If you have an interest in Ufology, I advise you to study this case and also another one called *the 2007 Alderney UFO sighting* where the opposite happened.

[@miamicool666]

Thank you so much for the amazing reaction! Legendary movie! For info: Close encounter of the 1st type (RR1): the witness(es) see a UFO, whatever it may be. Close encounter of the 2nd type (RR2): the UFO leaves material evidence, such as traces on the ground. Close encounter of the 3rd type (RR3): the witness(es) see a UFO and its occupants. Close Encounter of the 4th Kind (RR4): the witness(es) are kidnapped inside a UFO (aka abduction).

Great choice! Nothing beats a good 1970s sci-fi! Such credible acting from all the leads, although I agree with Jess, Barry's mum is pretty chill about keeping an eye on him throughout the film! THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN (1971) is also well worth a reaction for its tight story-telling, and for Jess, who has done pretty well with the scary stuff, so far, I suggest you treat yourselves to a social commentary sci-fi with no aliens - THE STEPFORD WIVES (1975) one of my all time fave movies. 🙂

There was a deleted scene at the end that shows what he sees inside the mother ship. He enters a round chamber with lights all around it illuminating the chamber. They all turn upwards, then the ceiling of the chamber starts rising and reveals the enormity of the inside of the ship. He sees so many windows all full of beings looking down upon him, which overwhelms him with joy. Then he sees in the center of this enormous ship is a docking system for the smaller ships with four massive arms that connect to the disc that was the ceiling of the chamber that rose up. All the small ships dock inside the structure, then activate their engines giving off a shower of light that lights up the whole inside of the ship. Then the last being outside returns the hand gestures and smile to Lacombe, and they close up and leave. The expression “every Christian soul” was used to mean that he wanted something so scary that anyone in their right mind, sensible people, would be scared away. If they’re not in their right mind, and don’t get scared away, chances are nobody would believe what they say anyway. Great reaction!

[@BossMovieReactions]

Thanks for sharing! Yes, someone posted the link to the deleted scenes, so I saw the inside of the ship. Great stuff! Thx! (:

[@bbmcrae]

Not really a deleted scene. When they re-released the film, Spielberg was pressured by the studio to add a new scene, so he got Deyfuss back and shot the interior scene. Spielberg never liked it, because he wanted to leave what was inside the ship to the audience's imagination, so the official version of the film later deleted it. It was the right move. The original cut is perfection. No need for the end padding.

[@porflepopnecker4376]

@@bbmcrae Yeah, I remember going to see the so-called "Special Edition" out of curiosity. The interior scene was absolutely awful. Not only did its insertion completely wreck the pace of the film's finale, but it also ruined the mystery of what Roy was going to see inside. In addition to this, Dreyfus looked noticeably different, and was obviously trying to work up enough fake emotion and "sense of wonder" to carry the scene. John Williams' score here also works too hard to top itself with its heavenly choir singing at full blast, while the SPFX team throws in everything but the kitchen sink. After all that hoo-hah, returning to the ship's exterior for Lacombe's touching encounter with the alien comes off as an anti-climax.

That was great! Thank you! To make an idea about how and what I felt when I first saw the movie, I’ll say only this - I was 13 and I saw it on the big screen in the theatre. It was a path opener, as it was a foundation for all the great movies that followed … a little later in the same year, the first Star Wars movie (ep.4) came out and it was obvious to everybody that a new trend was launched. Before that, there was nothing getting even close to it. So, I can safely say that I witnessed the beginning of a new cinematic era at first hand. As always, you guys charged me with a great mood for at least one more week … anyway, please keep your fingers crossed for me, as the next week is of crucial importance for me, defining for many important things in my life.

Another good one guys. The beginning scene with the planes is also pointing to the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. The pilots didn’t want to report a U F O because they would have been ridiculed and maybe lose their jobs like Roy did.

A little background on "Flight 19" - Flight 19 was the designation of a group of five General Motors TBM Avenger torpedo bombers that disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle on December 5, 1945, after losing contact during a United States Navy overwater navigation training flight from Naval Air Station in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. All 14 naval aviators on the flight were lost on.patrol. The Navy immediately scrambled search planes to hunt for the missing patrol. Around 19:30 hours (7:30 p.m.), a pair of PBM Mariner flying boats took off from an air station north of Ft. Lauderdale. Just 20 minutes later, however, one of them seemed to follow Flight 19’s lead by suddenly vanishing off the radar. The remains of the Mariner and its 13 crewmen were also never recovered. [P.S. If you get the Close Encounters of the Third Kind (SPECIAL EDITION) DVD, you;ll see the INSIDE of the mothership.The studio tacked on that footage after the original release of the movie.

Thank you so much for reacting to this movie. They showed it on TV in 1979 when I watched as a child. It was mind blowing.

The guy who came up with the Close Encounters classification system (1st kind - visual sighting, 2nd - physical evidence, 3rd - contact, 4th - abduction) came from Dr. J. Allan Hynek, who actually has a cameo in the film's climax during the whole landing strip sequence. My favorite aspect of this film is that all the close encounters (other than the whole Devil's Tower stuff) is all taken from actual reports. Amped to 11 for dramatic purposes, of course, but all based on real accounts.

[@BossMovieReactions]

Yes, I read about those actual encounter reports, and the cameo. Very interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing! (:

The planes at the beginning were flight 19, a group of 5 TBM Avengers which disappeared without a trace on December 5 1945 over the Bermuda Triangle, subsequently adding much to the lore as no trace was ever found and with a navy Catalina sent out to find them also vanishing.

...really interesting movie, by now almost 50 years old... there are a lot of posts and channels talking about the subject of encounters on youtube these days - some feel fishy, others not so, in my opinion... here just one example for the hard-core critics: Paul Hellyer, the former Canadian defense minister, has spoken about UFOs. In 2005, he told an audience at an exopolitics conference in Toronto that he had seen a UFO with his wife and friends. In 2014, he told RT (formerly Russia Today) that at least four alien species have been visiting Earth for thousands of years, with most coming from other star systems. He also said that some aliens live on Venus, Mars, and (a) Saturn's moon. - This text is of Wikipedia, but I also saw a clip where he speaks to an audience about this.

[@losmosquitos1108]

Little trivia: at 7:26 you see the kid first expressing fright and the all if a sudden relief with a smile. The actor Cary Guffey told much later how Spielberg achieved all these wanted reactions mostly in the first take. In this case there was one of the stuntmen dressed up as a gorilla and then he removed his head mask and the kid recognized his friend he was familiar with on the set. Toby Neary (Roy Neary‘s son) was actually played by Justin Dreyfuss, Richard‘s nephew. When the kid called „toys“ at 20:10, he reacted to Spielberg standing on a ladder, grabbing a box and unwrapping a toy…🤭👍. Genius conductor! He made it easy for kids to simply react instead of acting… At 22:14 when the boy crawled through the cat door he was pulled by his own real mother from the other side. On the DVD version you could see her forearm for the fraction of a second…. 🫢 44:20 When the kid started to cry and say „good bye“ he was told by Steven that he won‘t see his friends from the film crew anymore, because they were done…

I road tripped up to Wyoming a few years ago and saw neat things all over the state, including Devil's Tower. There's a gift shop on the road leading in called the "Devil's Tower Trading Post," and it's full of keychains, coffee mugs and T-shirts that reference this movie. You'd swear it was in Roswell, New Mexico, not Wyoming. Anyway, there's a trail around the entire circumference of the tower. The whole loop is less than a mile and a half. I walked it twice. Unfortunately, I found no secret Air Force base on any side of it, just breathtaking scenery as far as the eye can see in every direction. Well worth the trip.

Just to add a snippet, on the tarmac smoking a pipe is the real Dr J Allen Hynek the Scientist in charge of Project Bluebook, Who coined the grades of close encounters to first second and third kinds. - A very fitting salute to a man who had so much knowledge of real UFO encounters.

I am inundated with bad movie reactions right now. I'm glad you're watching this. I know every flaw, and yet can still watch it an endless amount of times. I guess it's watching people handle the subject matter. I notice with the 5 tone signal, that no 2 scenes seem to have it in tune with each other. As a musician, I was critical of this at first. But finally I realized that this is needed to define the transition.
