Austin Magruder - The Jacket

The Jacket is a soeewhat disturbing psycological thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. Can you imagine, being acussed of a crime, and not being sure if you actually committed it? The notion that the main character was put through terrrible 'treatments' and was able to control his fear and actually use the sitiuation he was put in to time travel is difficult to comprehend. This movie touches on the idea of predestination, he knows what is going to happen to him and he chooses to use his ability to help others rather than himself. This kind of selflessness is rarely found in the real world nowadays. I think we can all take a lesson from this movie.
