Scott Springmann - The Jacket

I originally was not enthusiastic about watching this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it. I had heard that it wasn’t a particularly good movie, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was extremely interesting to me to see how Adrian Brody’s character would enter into this ecstatic state, in which he would see visions of the future, and then used those to change his past. It made me think about the question: "If you could know your future, would you want to, and would you change it?" This question has been explored in numerous stores, but I still find it to be an interesting question. In the Jacket, Adrian Brody's charater chooses to change the Future, but he doesn't do it for himself. He does it for a little girl that he met in the past, and he makes her life better in the future. It was this selfless act that allowed him to join her in the future.
