I just showed this to four year nine boys and they were transfixed. Only a good movie can bridge time like that. So many lessons and great shots and sequences in here. Real time capsule of Harlem and NYC too.

I remember catching this on tv as a kid and being bored with it because I expected aliens and spaceship battles or something. Rewatched it as an adult and thought it was brilliant!

Saw the french trailer of this movie back in 1985 in paris, i was 6 years old and was fascinated by the visual of that alien dude wearing ripped clothe lost in new york city and wanted to watched it badly. From time to time i keep remembering this movie thinking if i havent dream it until now..after all this decades i finally found that my memories of this trailer was real. So happy to watch the movie i really wanted to see back in 1985, it feel like i am 6 years old again back in 1985 in Paris with my mom.

My introduction to the immense acting chops of Joe Morton. Back then, the Jeffrey Wright of his time. First saw this back in the day when John Sayles films were the definition of independent filmmaking...inherited from John Cassavetes in the 60s and 70s.

I used to love watching this waaaay back when they played it on cable. The two Joe Morton movies that are somehow missing from my dvd collection is this and Inkwell. I love the scene with the rasta Virgil. I wonder if it's a homage to Dante's inferno where Virgil is guiding Dante through the stages of hell?.

2005년도쯤이었나 티비 고전영화극장에서 이걸 틀어줬던 기억이 난다. 이 영화를 처음 봤을때 밤 10시가 넘어서 가족들이 잘때 나 혼자 불꺼진 방안에서 티비 앞에서 우두커니 이 영화를 봤다. 스토리가 단순하고 소리도 조용해서 10살이었던 나도 편하게 봤었다. 지금 27살이 되고도 종종 이 영화가 기억이 난다. 다른 행성에서 온 형제..당시 티비로 볼때 한글자막이 있었는데 또 보고싶어서 여러방면으로 찾아봤지만 한글자막은 구하지 못했다. 방송사에 문의했더니 저작권 때문에 안된단다 한글자막은 공식이 아닐텐데 당시엔 그랬다. 이 영화는 80년대 독립영화라 시청한 사람이 전세계를 통틀어도 몇만명 안되는것 같다. 영화카페나 영화동아리에서 이 영화를 언급했을때 아는 사람이 한명도 없었다. 한국에선 나밖에 본사람이 없는거 같다.
