Now that is what i called a close encounter. No speech, no threats. Only two species living the greatest existencial moment from their own perspective.

[liliaholden]

My favorite part of the scene is the alien posing for the photo

[bencarlson]

The score in this scene is phenomenal, it’s that perfect Wes Anderson blend of whimsical, rhythmic, a bit epic, and a bit melancholy

[deveshbhambhani]

I love how cartoonish this scene looks. It looks like the alien is a fragment of our imagination, perfectly symmetrical and just out of our dreams 💫

[MCCENTx]

Jeff Goldblum was credited for the alien role even with no lines

[johnmichael_]

This has to be the best alien scene in all cinema

[anarchohelenism]

I love how the stilted cgi makes it feel actually alien

[utopiaa_]

i remember the laughter from the audience when this scene hit in the theater, he’s just a silly little guy :]

[charlieub]

1:01 I watch this movie and everyone in the theater laughed there buts off 😂

[eddiecadzow]

Jeff Goldblum was a great alien in this.

[SixOThree]

He really nailed this scene. And he 100% had to. The entire movie rested on this scene being perfect.

[smithwesson]

I thought this was stop-motion at first

[JustinGrant-jfgv]

I mainly clicked just because of that thumbnail. I just had to see what the alien was like.

[thededwithme]

This was a really good Wes Anderson, not as good as Budapest, but still amazing.

[pantoraaijmakers]

Am i the only one that finds this vaguely scary reminds me of that nightmare pingu episode with the gaint wallrus a wes Anderson horror movie would be kinda sick

[enminghee]

I see this film as proof that Wes Anderson actually likes modern franchise blockbusters on a conceptual level and is paying tribute to them. The greatest minds behind franchise films like Lucas, Spielberg and Cameron, and the basis of the material of modern franchise films (Marvel) are products of the age of nuclear anxiety (think of all the radiation based origin stories) and the vibrant sci-fi and theatre scene of that era.

[inspectorpineapple]

Looked like Tim Burton style stop motion

[tsuredashite]

El soundtrack en esta escena me causa una sensación extraña de lucidez y desrealización. En serio que cada vez que la miro siento un sentimiento indescriptible

[jefeknows]

He looking like uhh so ima jus take this 😂😂😂

[highhowler]

Guess that alien doesn’t mind having his photo taken.
