Abre Los ojos

"Open your eyes" was a nice variation of this whole theme on alternate realities. I like the idea of being able to continue life after death or at least postpone ones "life and death" until their exists enough medicine and technology to make us "immortal". The main character Cesar apparently had signed a contract that upon his death he would "continue" life in a virtual reality. Something that stands out in the "Matrix", "Human reaction", "Royale" and this film is that as humans none of those who are placed in bliss find peace that should be brought by a created enviroment. In the film "The Matrix", Mr Smith makes reference to a previous version of the matrix that was created and that it was perfect.. yet people could not seem to accept this state of perfectness. Mabye it says something on human beings.. how we are never satisfied even with perfect.. mabye we desire this pain that the world can bring... I think this is true.. Its pain that makes Life worth living and its the contrasts that makes life beautiful. In "Human reaction" John was not satisfied with the reality he was placed in .. his "instincts" let him know what this reality wasnt right.... In "Open your eyes" there is something about human nature that would not allow Cesar to live a perfect life.. after all he was the controller of his dreams but his mind chose to make it a nightmare. In the end like the the Matrix all the charecters exist this virtual reality upon their realization that they we not in what is "real" whatever that means. Who knows mabye they just escaped from one virtual reality to another... after all how would they know any different. Who is to say that we arent all part of some sick sadistic story.... We all have that "Heroes Journey " experience in our lives.
