    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — The Man Who Fell to Earth

    In the first scenes, when Newton is coming down the hill, it pans to a man watching him. I`ve seen the movie a few times but still fail to see the character later in the movie. Is it just me?

      I mention him in my previous post, I never could figure out who it was either. You see another unknown man also in a suit and tie standing over Newton later in the movie, right before Newton finally is able to leave his locked down apartment. It's at the 2 hour 3 minute mark in the extended director's cut. You see Newton laying asleep in bed with empty booze bottles around him and a man in a suit standing over him. With reddish blond hair like the guy at the beginning of the movie but he has a beard in the latter scene. I'm assuming it's the same guy and never could figure out if it's a member of the government tracking Newton the whole time or even another "visitor" that Newton says he has seen signs of, who may be tracking Newton. I have no other guesses beyond that.

        For some reason I thought it was another alien watching Newton. He mentioned seeing beings from his planet on Earth. I thought they didn't want to be discovered and capture him when he was building his rocket. According to Wikipedia it's just CIA though.

          But he landed in the USA so likely not CIA.

            It was a Man in Black. Could be human could be ET.

              He looked a little like Farnsworths' gay lover, but don't think it was him. I was trying to figure it out too. Seems like Gov't, but the idea of another visitor is interesting too, but less likely.
