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 film's proposed original 


title was to be "Watch the Skies," the closing words from the science-fiction classic The Thing From Another World 


(1951). One of the film's posters declared: "We are not alone."


   The transcendent film followed the odyssey of various characters, including an obsessed, middle-class power 


lineman named Roy Neary (Dreyfuss, who had earlier appeared in Spielberg's Jaws, but was offered the part only 


after tough-actor Steve McQueen declined) and a distraught mother named Gillian (Dillon), and her young son Barry


(Guffey), as they are inexplicably lured to a volcano-like mountain in Wyoming, to experience a spectacular, 


extra-terrestrial encounter. As a high school junior, Spielberg's first feature film, shot in 8 mm, was Firelight


(1964) - the inspirational precursor to this film, about a town terrorized by UFOs.


The film was shot in various locales worldwide: at Devils Tower in Wyoming, Alabama, California, Mexico, and India. 


Spielberg also had cast notable director Francois Truffaut in the film in a major role (modeled after French UFO 


expert Jacques Vallee). The film resembled, in part, aspects of The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) and 


Hitchcock's North by Northwest (1959), and various portions and themes of Close Encounters would be repeated in 


Spielberg's E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982).


    The screenplay (finished by Spielberg from an original script by Paul Schrader) was based upon the book, The 


UFO Experience (1972), written by Dr. J. Allen Hynek, who served as the film's technical advisor (and appeared in 


a bit cameo part during the final scene). The highly personal, expensive project of Spielberg's was first released


for Columbia Studios in 1977 - then, a re-edited theatrical Special Edition, authorized by the director himself, 


was released three years later in 1980, with some tightening of the original version [cutting the scene in which 


Roy Neary throws dirt into his family's house to recreate his vision of the mountainous mound] and some additional 


scenes - mostly footage of Neary's entrance into the interior of the giant spacecraft at the film's conclusion. 


Spielberg also released a 'director's cut' version in 1998, and a 30th Anniversary Ultimate Edition in 2007.


   This awe-inspiring film is one of the most dazzling UFO science fiction films ever made, although it has 


pre-digital special effects. Douglas Trumbell's visual and special effects of the Mother Ship are spectacular, 


ushering in - with Lucas' Star Wars (1977) of the same year - a flood of Hollywood films featuring special effects. 


It was Columbia Pictures' biggest grossing film up to that time, and helped to usher in the era of the blockbuster 


sci-fi/fantasy film.


   The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences nominated it for eight awards: Best Supporting Actress 


(Melinda Dillon), Best Director, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score (John Williams), Best Art Direction/Set 


Decoration, Best Sound, Best Visual Effects, and Best Cinematography. Its sole award was for Best Cinematography 


by cameraman Vilmos Zsigmond, but it was also honored with a Special Achievement Award for Sound Effects Editing.
