After reading all the articles on BRAINSTORM, I decided to rent a video
tape
of it and watch it again,(the first time being in a theater). I found
that of all
the aspects presented, the life-at-death idea to be the most intreguing.
Let me explain why. BRAINSTORM,while a good movie was, in my opinion,
one step
away from being a gagget movie i.e. man makes machine man abuses
machine.
However, good story telling, be it sci fi or whatever centers on
relationships
between people and how those relationships affect their lives. What more
intimate relationship can one have than to actually FEEL another's
thoughts?
How much more intimate can you get than to whitness a persons death from
their side of the fence, so to speak I find that somewhat more
interesting than
being hooked up to a chimp and finding out they hate banannas. But I
think I've made my point.

Live Long And Prosper
