The film begins well, but after 20 minutes, it repeats the same topics, behaviours, and events.
The environment is gloomy, sunless, bleak, depressing, and dull.
The characters are caricatures; one is solely concerned in marketing the product, the other in mourning his loss; you see them without concern, and the grieving anyones have no individuality at all.
For minutes, one character sits at a table, takes numerous tablets, and walks slowly, depressed, down the stairs.
The scenarios in which they present their idea to concerned parties or prospective clients are extremely repetitive without any climax.
Is the slow, monotonous, colourless portrayal of this daily existence of inventors, scientists and investors intentional? For what purpose?
The invention isn't really comprehensible; how technical is it beyond biologically transferring neurons and synapses?
They communicate through a simulation of the deceased, but a lot of substance is missing.
What do the simulated individuals see? Do they live in their own world? Or are they just lying bodyless and without eyes? What are they doing when they are not speaking out of the simulator?
It merely presents an interpretation of Freud's theory of human consciousness. Three levels of awareness, conscious, preconscious, and unconscious, intersect with his concepts of the id, ego, and superego.
But the researcher in the film describes the simulation as combining three voices in our heads: the morality of the superego, the reality of the ego, and the instant of the Id.
What is the moment of the id? What a bad, ambiguous, and inaccurate interpretation of the pleasure principle, which is the source of drive in all humans... What a squandered opportunity to base murders and suicides around this principle. What about the id of the simulated, what if the scientist pulls the plug. Void.
They mention moral questions rising, to seek the brain of the deads, but none are mentioned in detail, or in their effects. It does not even raise the issue of of the legal aspects of confidentiality, of a habeus corpus.
It is so devoid in content!
The movie repeats: Saying everything is OK is the biggest lie.
Saying this film is good would be my greatest dishonesty. I am truly generous to give it four stars.
It demonstrates how a wonderful idea dies when it falls into the hands of uninspired, uncreative individuals.
Rewatchabilty index : zero!
I urge you watch the Minority Report instead or again...
