Ben Boyett - The Jacket

Enjoyable, thought-provoking film. Does he die in the jacket or does he actually manage to escape and live in the future? Is it just the drug that causes him to experience what he does or is there a deeper mystery surrounding being wrapped in the jacket and placed in the morgue? The morgue drawer symbolizes death very overtly as he is placed in a position that normally only dead people are in. Pretty terrifying prospect. One of the things that I don't understand is why people are so reluctant to give information about his death. If he really died there why would they lie about it and try to avoid the issue? This film makes me think that if I knew how I was going to die would I try to avoid it? Surely most people would, but can one cheat death? To quote the film, "How much time do we have?"
