The Final Cut - 6

Robin Williams plays a cutter -one who edits the life footage from a brain implant into two hour montages for memorial services. It then gets hairy as those who are against the technology are looking for a way to use it to there advantage use the deleted footage of criminal activity to show that it should be outlawed. The film is pretty good and deals with some interesting questions of memory and its connection with truth. But the movie suffers because it is to short (an hour and a half), and does not adequately explain things. A little retooling could have made a big difference. Anyway, the theme of the movie is the guilt and suffering involved in being a cutter -having to see all the good, the bad, and the ugly. In the end, the film allows for a glimpse of redemption amid the chaos.
