In Class- The Jacket, Rawley

The Jacket was a movie about a Gulf War Veteran, Jack Starks, who was accused of murder but could not remember the killing. He was sent to an insane assylum and one of the doctors there used him as an experiment. The experiment was a drug that could help a person travel in time to be able to go into the future. When he is in the drawer, Jack finds out that he dies and suspects that it is murder, so he spends his time in the drawer trying to figure out how he died or who killed him. While in the futute he meets a girl who years earlier was a girl that he helped start her alcoholic mother's car. He meets her again 20 years later and they fall in love. This is when we see a change in his attitude. Starks sacrificed himself when he stops trying to figure out how he died and starts to try to save her life. The day that it was said that he was going to die, he goes to the girls house and tells the little girl's mother what he has seen and that she is going to die by being burned by her cigarette in her sleep. In this movie, we see some representations for Jesus Christ in Jack. He can see into the little girl's life and knows that she needs to be saved, so instead of spending his time in the drawer trying to figure out how he dies and prevent it, he sacrifices his life for this girl that he loves.
