Phenomenon – Das Unmögliche wird wahr (1996)

Phenomenon – Das Unmögliche wird wahr: Directed by Jon Turteltaub. With John Travolta, Kyra Sedgwick, Forest Whitaker, Robert Duvall. An ordinary man sees a bright light descend from the sky, and discovers he now has super-intelligence and telekinesis.

“This movie shows John Travolta at his best. I think his performance here should have been nominated for an Oscar. What a lovely, powerful film. Itu0026#39;s a paean to all the geeks in the world. George is clearly beloved by his fellow residents, but after he sees THE LIGHT, he becomes a misfit because of the changes in him. Those changes mean he becomes an insider, a stranger in a strange land. He becomes even more precious than he had been in the first 11 minutes of the film. He is at once bewildered and amazed at the changes in him. He is fascinated by every aspect of the world, and the viewer goes willingly on the journey with him. I have probably seen this movie ten times since its release in 1996. I will always regard this film as my favorite John Travolta movie and my favorite Kyra Sedgwick movie.”
