The mother ship in Close Encounters of the Third Kind approaches Devil's Tower landmark in Wyoming in Steven Spielberg sci-fi classic, which is getting a 40th anniversary theatrical re-release. Then I thought of Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the UFO movie from 40 years ago that’s getting an anniversary re-release in theatres this weekend. It occurs to me that Close Encounters has aged well, better than anyone might have expected when the film first came out. In Close Encounters, Spielberg also notes the difficulties that earthlings have in communicating with each other. The aliens in Close Encounters are mystifying, but it’s not like they’re trying to hide from us or fool us.
