Introduction
	Steven Spielberg's magnum opus Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a movie that recounts the alien invasion in a bewildering perplexity. The film released in 1977 puts forth the fact of how the Earth moves outward to the planets which are distant to it. It does so for satisfying its resource hunger. The movie evocatively structures the character Melinda Barro and Richard Dreyfuss in roles that of the regular suburbanites. Both of them believe to have noticed a UFO, that as a result, gives way to the dubiously intrinsic aspect. The craving concerning wisdom and knowledge soon digs deep into the fact as Dreyfuss grows obsessive about the UFO sightings, and therefore embarks on a journey to find the real truth behind it. There happens to exist great perils concerning the invasion of the aliens on the planet earth, and to satiate the collective hunger for knowledge humans essentially try to subvert the Other kind. The sabotaging of the sensibilities evocatively subverts the longing for a better planet thereby leading to a situation of the oppressor and the oppressed. This research paper with the usage of vignettes from the film analyzes how the film is functional in perpetuating the quench for knowledge and wisdom concerning extraterrestrial beings.  
State of Characters
	The plot is developed intrinsically by the incorporation of the duality of the varied levels. The first or perhaps the primary plot concerns the esoteric scuffle between two common citizens, The character Roy Neary (played by Richard Dreyfuss) and Jillian Guiler (played by Melinda Dillon) who conceive the fact that the aliens' aim to address. It, therefore, paves the way for the creation of a situation when it will be possible to overcome the attempts concerning that of the authorities for prevention from gaining access into the Devil's Tower for the alien invasion (Ulrich, 2016). However, the subplot that is at play involves the process which involves the military and scientific officials, which is in turn led by Claude Lacombe who is a Frenchman, are functional in deciphering the transmissions of the aliens and get the meeting point up so the UFOs will land.
	These plots beautifully weave the first section that consists of a two-part narrative. The main motive of the movie' lies in the fact that it concerns the climactic close encounter hailing from that of the third kind (in a way physical contact is initiated) with the extraterrestrial beings. This runs for the course of forty-minutes that diligently puts forth the profound significance of the deep underlying narrative. It is overpowering as well as jarring to the senses, which is formed by the ingrained deeper sensibilities. Therefore, it remains to be one of the brilliant moments of the history of Hollywood cinema. It is so because it is spiritually magical, reassuring and funny all at the same time by involving the historical context and maintaining the sublimity.  
	The characters in the movie Roy and Jillian are instrumental in reaching the top of the Devil's Tower. They do it after they had narrowly escaped concerning any kind of attempts meted out to them by the concerned authorities just for stopping them. They are allured by the fact that it is in a brilliantly created landing pad that has been surrounded by varied electronic instruments, which are operated by the technicians who appear to be scurrying (Mairata, 2018). There happened to be some preliminary sweeps which involved the smaller vessels. The slow rising of the crescendo of music, as well as the humongous enthralling mothership, looms, and the dwarfing Devil's Tower adds to the qualitative aspect. The descend is therefore seen to have been gradually structured in accordance with the enigmatic aspect of the situation. The Human scientists who were involved in the controlling of the ship soon begin to communicate with the usage of musical tones as well as blinking lights. It leads to a situation when the door of the ship opens and leads to a disgorging of a certain host of humans. They appear to be missing for long and therefore have been presumed dead. However, it soon turns out that they are the ones who have undertaken long journeys by the extraterrestrials (de Waal Alberts, 2020). Eventually, the aliens themselves appear: they look delicate, white and non-threatening. Consequently take on the board, which consists of twelve tightlipped, erect-standing and close-cropped who were uniformed explorers. They seem to apparently represent the United States government.
Debunking the Liberal Myth
	The film Close encounters of the third kind stands as the representative of the utilitarian ethos which is appropriated by colonizing the planet. 
Metz (2018) observes that in a land brimming with the intellectual people, the informed ones are outfitted to the simulacrum of advancement and development. Therefore, the people whose notion of “Self”, are being wiped at the outset of their compass by fake disney-fied reconstruction of those self,
