    Kevin Costner has to be the worst actor to have ever made it to become a major film star. Not heard many good things said about him either.

    "Have you seen Gordy?" "No..." "He's dead." "Well, I guess that explains why I haven't seen him..." Yeah, this movie used to be on heavy rotation during the earliest days of HBO. My friends and I would watch it all the time.

    Isn't this the movie where someone unconscious leaps from a bed? I saw that seen when I was a little kid. While watching this video I thought for sure their son was going to be the one that leaped out of bed at his father. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

    I can remember when i used to game on a small box TV like the one in the intro, even with inferior hardware the game's were much better than the crap we get nowadays. I think I've seen around five movies in the past decade that i liked, movies nowadays are absolutely terrible, the woke has broke everything.

      The intro was alot like what I used to have when I was younger. Yeah, in the last decade most movies are either remakes, reboots, prequels, sequels or stories "based on true events." Hollywood just recycles their ideas. Thanks for watching!

    Loved the fun style of this video! Brainstorm just blew me away when it came out, and I've told several people about it over the years. That it's about amazing tech that interfaces with the brain and records thoughts and memories, making YOU your own "filmmaker" is something that sounds scarily possible, and closer every day. We all recently saw a paraplegic man stand up and walk, with the help of a helmet-device that allowed his brain's neural paths back into sync with his spinal cord. Thank God! If that isn't a sci-fi movie come to life, I don't know what is! Of course, for all the good that will come, some among us will use the tech for dark purposes. In the film, we see psychotic-episode tapes, meaning I guess that someone strapped a helmet onto a very disturbed mental patient and pressed Record:-( The military had a library full of nasty shyte, no doubt to be used for covert torture missions etc. The porn industry will make a killing once they get hold of this; screw social media after that. In fact, screw relationships, love, marriage....just plug yourself in and hang on! And then Fletcher goes and creates the ultimate science experiment, by recording her own demise and the seconds after. I certainly understand Walken moving heaven and earth to see THAT tape! Love this movie:)

    One question. At 9:20 , when we (along with Natalie Wood's character) start to view the 'memory' montage that Christopher Walken's character has put together for her, whose memory (point of view) was that? It certainly wasn't Walken's.

    • @WolfsterMedia
      @WolfsterMedia Год назад

      That’s a good point! It could only have been Walkens since he recorded it, but it is confusing given he’s in the montage! We see things like that a few times, when he’s watching some of Dr Reynolds memories she is in the shot too. Also I’ve no idea what ‘memory’ his son was having.. as all of that was false. Perhaps the headset provides part of the memory and your mind fills in some of blanks. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks for watching!

      @Skank_and_Gutterboy Год назад

      @@WolfsterMedia Yeah, I was going to say that the OP was wrong but he's got good points. If it were from Walken's point of view, we wouldn't see him and Natalie doing something together from a 3rd person's viewpoint. I guess you just have to assume that it somehow captured his impression of events as he thinks it would look from the outside (????). It's true that you see this with Dr. Reynolds and it's hard to explain. When she dies, she looks back and sees her own body as her soul leaves it, OK, I can buy that. But then there's memories again that are like they're viewed from a 3rd person.

    • @CrazyMF3R
      @CrazyMF3R 7 месяцев назад

      The initial test on recording with "The Hat" was done on her without her knowing what they were doing. He did something to triggers those memories inadvertently just before "Recording". When he put "The Hat" on and played it back, he experienced all those quick memories and feelings and actually acted on them for a sec. Which gave him the idea to make a montage of his memories. This is actually one of the best movies you'll ever see in life.

    Good stuff, saw this on tv back in the late 80’s, even then I did think it would be possible one day to do this sort of thing for real. Zuckerberg will certainly give it a shot. Michael Crichton’s ‘Looker’ was a movie with a different plot but similar sort of tech-gone awry tone. ……. Also, “All hail the HypnoToad”

      In the mid-80s this movie was on HBO a lot, I taped it and re-watched it a lot. I don't understand why this movie didn't get more acclaim, it's 57% on Rotten Tomatoes and 6.4/10 on IMDB. I clearly like it more than the average person, whatever.
