GodSend is it God-Send or Gods-End ?
Well, finished the movie and it had some spooky parts in it. I jumped about 4 times during the movie. Basically the theme is parents loose their only son, who just turned 8, by an accident. They are in pain during their loss and Dr. comes to them saying he can help. This Dr. happens to be a genius in genes and promises to clone their loss child, everything perfect down to the hair on his head. They have 72 hours to make their decision, due to the genes stability.
Well, at first the husband says no-way, while the wife is willing. Then the husband agrees. They do it and the birth gives them a scare, but they have their son again. The Dr. relocates them, giving them this big mansion as opposed to their current apartment, new job, ect. Basically paying them for the experiment, but the story doesnt say that.
Something goes wrong. The Story fast forwards to the boys 8 year birthday. Shortly afterwards, he has these night terrors. Old memories of another boy emerges and the story begins of another identity coming through. I wont tell the end nor how it goes from here but the storyline basically is after the boys original death, new genes are awaken, hence the night terrors, memory, recognitive comes out.
So what we have here is a story about genetics that retain previous memories, slash life, that is resurfaced. Sound familiar, how about evolutionary thinking. The thought that life continues to improve, ie we get smarter, ect. Or life orientated, our make-up, thoughts, the way we act, say, do is all built in our genes and we cannot help ourselves in who we are.
But this is just a story right? Maybe at 11:15 p.m. I am reading to much into a movie.
I personally do not believe in Pre-ordained, ect. Because I think we are able to make decisions, and choose that which we love, eat, enjoy, ect. But there are those out there that believe in Pre-Life (you had many lives before this one and that's why you fear certain things, ect.) or the belief in soul-mates (the thought someone is your soul mate due to a previous life, you were married, loved each other) and you find each other again. It doesnt matter if your man-woman, man-man, woman-woman, because you will continue to reborn. But that logic doesnt really hold for me, becaue if that was the case, my luck my soul mate was the cow that was slaughtered for my McDonalds burger.
Anyway, you see my point. It's a scary story of what if and the possibility of a pre-life re-emerging, given the chance. The chance was due to cloning. The bummer of it was it happent to be a Psycopath kid with Pyromaniac tendencies. I will have to say the kid played a good part. He gets this glazed empty look in his eyes that nailed the character.
So, in short, not a movie for the kids. It had some scary stuff in it. But you pretty much knew what was going to happen as the story unfolded.
