It's about a regular guy from rural America who gets in touch with alien force and becomes very smart, but then nothing really happens and he dies. And like I said, the movie was very disappointing because when the first part of the movie was unfolding I was rather excited to see where it would go, but it went nowhere.
But lately I see on internet that lots of people consider it Scientology propaganda (like reviews on IMDb) because Travolta's character at one point says "Everything has become clear now" and because apparently Scientologists love that word "clear" the whole movie is their propaganda.
But to me it seems it's all just Christian paranoia.
If these people didn’t know Travolta was a Scientologist, would they think the film was propaganda?
It seems that the use of the word ‘clear’ is a pretty thin thread to hang this on.
