DVD of the Weekend - The Final Cut

This weekend's featured DVD is a marvelous representation of a full-scale 1984 type of mass surveillance society, but compared to an utopian party acting as the caring BigBrother, here it's the inavitable advances of technology, and availability of services leading to the ultimate digital preservation of our entire living -- through our own eye-embedded implants. Worth taking your time to watch this "remixing" of reality leading to the ultimate saint, but I have to agree with SFAM's comments on the "usefulness" of the technology for compiling a 30 min funeral clip only. The rest is the plot itself.

A brief summary of The Final Cut :

"In a near undefined future, people may have a Zoe microchip implanted in their nervous system to permit their families retrieve the best moments of their memories and watch on video after their deaths. This process is called "Rememory" and Alan H. Hakman (Robin Williams), a man traumatized by an incident in his childhood, is the best cutter of the Eye Tech Corporation. The company is facing groups that oppose to the "Rememory" and the ex-cutter Fletcher (Jim Caviezel) is leading these opponents. When Alan is assigned to prepare the final cut of the memories of the Eye Tech lawyer Charles Bannister, his Zoe chip is disputed by Fletcher. Meanwhile, Alan finds that he has also an implanted microchip, which is against the rules of a cutter."
