Starman (1984)
In John Carpenter's romantic, tearjerking science
fiction film:
- the scene of alien Starman's (Oscar-nominated Jeff
Bridges) creation from Jenny Hayden's (Karen Allen) dead painter-husband
Scott's DNA (found in a hair strand in a photo album)
- the scenes of the naive, robotic Starman's ' ecstatic
reaction to Dutch Apple Pie and his resurrection of a deer (and later
Jenny)
- the wet sex scene in a train car with Starman pointing
out his star to Jenny and telling her: "I have given you a baby
tonight"
- the eloquent speech by the dying alien to scientist
Mark Shermin (Charles Martin Smith) while trapped in federal custody
in a restaurant: "We are... interested in your species...You
are a strange species, not like any other -- and you would be surprised
how many there are. Intelligent but savage. Shall I tell you what
I find beautiful about you? You are at your very best when things
are worst"
- Starman's farewell to hostage-turned-lover Jenny
in the middle of the Arizona crater where he was met by an alien
search party: (Jenny: "I'm never going to see you again, am
I?")
- the final lingering shot of Jenny's face as Starman's
ship departed to return home to the sounds of Jack Nitzsche's swelling
score
