Having been stymied in the midst of trying to make <i>Matewan</i>, John Sayles wrote what he thought could be a cheap, quick little movie and it turned out to be this near classic, which blends fish-out-of-water comedy with trenchant and serious science fiction. Joe Morton plays an extraterrestrial whose spaceship crashes in New York Harbor. When he swims ashore, he finds that most of Harlem is filled with earthlings who look just like him. He can't speak, but he quickly learns to communicate; he also finds ways to understand these strange, quarrelsome creatures, who seem to talk forever without really saying much. Sayles is at his economic best, drawing a touchingly complex performance from the silent Morton and good acting from a strong supporting cast of mostly unknowns. <I>--Marshall Fine</I> *Viewer Reviews* The Brother From Another Planet is a film about ideas and relationships. It is truly about alination through the eyes of an Alien from another planet. There are very few 'special effects' this is not about 'WOW! look at that! film" The beginning allows the viewer to understand that the filmmakers were on a limited budget and that the film is not about extravaganzas but about people. It is extremely fummy while allowing the viewer something to chew on after the final credits roll. By using an 'Alien' themes of predjudice and precieved cliches are preasented in a way that is both entertaining and thought provoking. This is a truly fun film but also a well thought out one. the directors' commentary is also excellent and well worth listening to more than once. Back To Top
