The Jacket: Wilbert J Hill Jr.
This film was very interesting, I liked it a lot. I really like when he goes into the future and finds the family that he helped out in 1991. The mother and daughter were in stranded on the side of the road, there pickup truck had broken down. Jack helped them to start their truck again and the mother was ungrateful. As jack was taking his journey on the road he was reminded of the time he was shot dead in the war, and then came back to life. Jack narrates the movie and talks about the first time he died. Then he takes a ride from a criminal who sets him up. The criminal shoots the officer who stops him for a routine traffic stop, and jack gets hit by a bullet that the officer shot at the criminal. Then the criminal wipes the gun off and throws the gun on top of Jacks chest. From then on Jacks life spirrowed downward very fast. He was put in an insane assylum. In this insane assylum, Jack was put in a booth with a stray jacket on and was injected with a syrum to make him remenisnce about the horrible things he has gone through in his life. Through this process he realizes that the booth is a way to deliver and free him from the hell and disparity that he is going through. This is a great movie that metaphorically shows that no matter what you are going through in life you can still find hope and peace within the storm.
