The Cosmic Man (1959) has all the elements of a great alien encounter flick. The problem is pacing. While the special effects introducing the alien are perfect, the camouflage goes on too long. Consequently, the alien's perspective of the events goes too long unexplored, and as a result, John Carradine goes under-utilized and the climax ending feels abrupt. Even so, I like the story and will probably re-watch.

I’m watching The Cosmic Man from 1959 while I work, a much more thoughtful science fiction movie than I was expecting. But there’s this kid, Ken, who can’t walk and has some kind of unnamed illness that’s going to kill him in the next six months or so. He’s actually part of this larger love triangle (oh god, not like that) between the military colonel, the scientist, and his widowed mother, with there being a larger tension between science and the military, particularly around the atomic bomb and science as a weapon. His father was a fighter jet pilot and a star football player, but he can’t walk and is more interested in astronomy. His mother is clearly taken by the colonel, but he doesn’t pay any attention to Ken, whereas the scientist does. That sort of thing.

But everyone just pushes him around in is wheelchair and never asks him or tells him where they’re going to go, and it’s just, argh! I know it’s that the child actor can actually walk and where they all go is dictated by the script, everyone knows what they’re doing or where they’re going. But, visually, he’s a ten-year-old boy in this massive hospital style wheelchair that he can’t direct himself. Don’t just move him without asking him first or telling him where you’re going to go!

hey, remember being 18 years old and playing mass effect for the first time and it's got this like intense aura of being very small and very insignificant in a very big, very empty galaxy? remember playing mass effect for the first time and everything all of this is so new and mysterious, and it's 2am and you're sitting in a dark room in the light from your tv and you're playing through feros for the first time and you feel that this is someting very old and very ancient and you are somewhere you shouldn't be and you don't know what's going to happen or where you're going but you keep on. there's a tingling in your stomach and you're playing mass effect for the first time. the thorian is a milennia old sentient plant being. the rachni queen is old and telepathic and a hive mind and in pain. sovereign is an ancient machine that has not been built but is, and has always been, and this is something so alien and so unlike and beyond anything your human mind can comprehend, and this is something unexplainable and huge and as uncaring and indifferent as the empty galaxy around you. you're playing mass effect for the first time and you're walking on the surface of an almost completely empty planet with nothing but your two companions silently walking beside you and everything is so huge and empty and silent and you're so small and insignificant and it's so beautiful and so scary and you feel like you are on a rollercoaster about to drop down. you are playing mass effect for the first time and you're playing the mission on the moon and you stop and just look up at earth visible in the sky. you know this. this is home. you are playing mass effect for the first time, and the galaxy is so big, and you are so tiny, and everything is about to change for you.

choso being in love with the concept of marriage.

you mean to tell him that you hold a ceremony in front of loved ones to celebrate a union of love??? that everyone knows you're bound together for what is suppose to be forever!?

RINGS telling strangers "hey I'm taken!"!?

even the government knows you made vows and are bound by official legal documents??

a new family unit that can get bigger if you choose to do so??

truly a dream for him. he's already on the way to look for a ring just for you. ♡
