The Jacket - Robbie Heath

This was very moving film, however at its conclusion I found myself disappointed and sad. Through his selfless actions Jack managed to greatly improve the life of Jackie. This was extremely commendable and managed to give Jack meaning for his life and bring him some peace. But I would agree with a comment made earlier that it does seem off that this all came from some kind of mind altering drug administered by a doctor performing a very illegal treatment. Granted good things are can come out of bad. But for me it just seemed to send a negative message of how dark the world is and how easy it is for people to fall into very bad life situations (ex. Jackie in 2007). The only reason that she was able to come out of this situation was because Jack somehow managed to go into the future. He had to have special knowledge in order to change things. Obviously I would suppose that this was meant to be. Perhaps this was the work of God to change peoples lives. If that is the case I can understand the beauty in Jack saving Jackie as a Christ figure. But if it was just the drugs, this story feels much more empty.
