Today in class we had the chance to watch the movie Final Cut, the movie stars actor Robin Williams. Williams plays a Cutter who's job is to edit people memory's for the last moments in life, which is their funeral. Williams is allowed to go in a cut out the bad things, to portray the person in a positive light. During the movie Mr. Williams faces a few challenges, he finds out that he has a memory chip just like the rest of society. This is a problem because in order to be a cutter you cannot have the memory chip. Throughout the movie he comes in contact with a few people who try and use him so that they can gain access to his memory for their own personal reasons.
In class, a question was posed how would we feel if someone was able to come back and relive our lives by looking at our memory chips? My answer to this questions was kinda two sided, I think that it would be a good and bad idea. I think that the law community would love it, because then they would be able to go back and look at previous crimes and determine what the truth is. I think that this would save them time. In this intense I believe that it would be a good thing, I feel that a lot of people would appreciate it for this cause. I think that some people would look at it as a bad thing, simply because there may be secretes that some people may not want others into their personal lives.
What is sad is that I can eventually see this being something that is real in the future. I can see people when their young going to get little mind chips being put in their heads. What is sad is that I don't think that it is to far from happening. Overall though I believe that the movie was a really good movie and would recommend it to anyone.
