Line 24: * [[Meaningful Name]]: "prot" is derived from {{spoiler\|Porter, Robert's last name}}. * [[Human Aliens]]: Subverted. See [[Starfish Aliens]] entry below. * [[~~Schrodinger~~Schrödinger's Gun]]: The film and book both take different stances on their evidence that prot is human or alien. The book contains more in-depth hypnosis sessions that {{spoiler\|1=have the Robert Porter personality come out and speak to Brewer, and flashbacks show a gradual growth in the detail of the world of K-PAX as he creates it in his mind, giving strong evidence that prot is just a split personality}}. The film leaves these two points out and has a greater focus on prot's inexplicable abilities, and twice when he would be "arriving" from his faster-than-light travel there's a glare of light and a quick cut away before he appears seemingly out of nowhere, giving a stronger implication that he's an alien. * [[Starfish Aliens]]: Subverted. prot claims that K-PAXians are this on their home planet, but look like the most efficient creature of the places they visit. {{spoiler\|It turns out that there's a bit more to it than that}}. * [[The Stoic]]: prot in the film is universally calm and collected. Not so in the novel. Line 32: [[Category:Films of the 2000s]] [[Category:Science Fiction Literature]] [[Category:~~K-PAX~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Film]]
