The movie Scanners is a very good movie. It is excellent for provoking thoughts about the world that people believe in. Scanners is based on the idea that babies were purposefully injected with a chemical that was supposed to give them some kind of mental powers. 20 or more years after the experiment, the people who performed the experiment are contacting and dealing with the children who have now grown up into adults. The men who performed the experiments are shown as evil. They want to control the victims of the experiment for their own purposes. If the experimental subjects do not cooperate, the evil men kill them. Some of the experimental subjects who want to be left alone have banded together for protection. This movie is beneficial to opening a person's mind to Happeh Theory for a couple of different reasons. Exposing people to the idea that there are other people out their who would use them for experimental subjects can be shocking for people. Most people believe the world is a benign place and that bad things only happen in the movies. Events like this men using people for experiments happen in the real world all the time. By watching this movie, the viewer's mind will be forced to open up to a foreign idea. Once the mind has been forced open by this foreign idea, other foreign ideas, like those from Happeh Theory, can also get in. Scanners does a pleasing job of depicting people who possess some kind of mental ability and how they are treated by society. The people are usually outcasts who are either alone or involved with a small group of like minded people. The interactions between these people with powers and the other characters in the movie is informative. The depiction of the powers these people have by itself is beneficial to learning Happeh Theory. The movie people did a reasonable job of realistically showing how things can be in real life. The main thrust of the movie is that the Scanners, the experimental subjects, can control other people against their will. This is true in real life. In the movie the power is taken to ridiculous extremes for the sake of dramatic impact. The basic idea is a reflection of real life. If you carefully watch how the people with powers employ these powers, you will learn one of the things that is considered a part of everyday real life by Happeh Theory. |
