Reflection Paper
“Every day we experience multitudinous moments; if we observe and reflect on these
experiences, we can achieve prodigious learning”. The story follows an alien who becomes stuck
on Earth after his remote for contacting his spacecraft to come and fetch him is stolen as soon as
he lands. The rest of the film follows his search for the remote, as well as his experiences and
lessons learned along the way. Pk has studied the ways of the world and now questions everything,
challenges every notion, and fights for what he believes is right. He learned everything through
his experiences; he learned that he needed clothing to exist and that he needed money to buy food,
etc. In short, he learned how to survive in this world.
Pk has never learned to talk since, in their world, everyone communicates through
telepathy. As a result, they are unable to lie or engage in any type of deception. Unfortunately, this
innocent alien became lost in a land of lies and heartless humans. Despite this, he found two
individuals who genuinely helped him and whom he can trust. When you continually experiencing
lies around you it’s hard to trust, but Pk is smart didn’t hesitate because he know he knows who to
trust. Bhairon is one of the guys that befriended him to the point where they refer to each other as
brothers. When he accidently hit PK with his motorcycle, he wanted to abandon him, but his
conscience won out, and he did his best to assist Pk. Jagat Janani was another person who helped
Pk; she was the first to learn of Pk's story, but she thought he was mentally ill until he proved to
her that he wasn't lying. It’s just sad that they are both didn’t end up to stay in pk’s life; Bhairon
died, Jaggu united with Sarfaraz, and he needs to go back to their planet. He didn’t tell Jaggu what
his feeling because his love is enough to let her go.
In my perspective, the film covers a wide range of issues, but one stands out above the
others, and that is the topic of religion. Our different religious ideas are one source of human
misunderstandings, according to PK. Every religion has its own set of traditions and beliefs, which
leads to misunderstanding and conflict. The film is not a religious attack, but rather a reminder of
humanity's attitude and actions. That we must be able to tolerate one other's viewpoints
notwithstanding our disagreements. We may follow various religions, but we are all people at the
end of the day. Respect and understanding are essential for us to accept one other better.
