Close Encounters of the Third Kind
(1977)

Information at Internet Movie Database

Themes

Call

For Call Scenes... or possibly the theme of election, I remember toward the end of Close Encounters, a group of astronauts has been prepared and are ready to go off in the alien spacecraft. However, when the little aliens appear, the astronauts are ignored in favor of Roy who has been "struggling with his sense of call," if you will. The astronauts are left behind as the rejected one (Roy, previously thwarted by the government) is taken aboard the ship. (submitted by Jim Gooch)

Determination/Obsession

in search for truth - Roy (and others) making models of Devil's Tower.
