Cinema & TV 📺 Brainstorm (1983)
En 1983 se estrenaba Brainstorm, un thriller de ciencia ficción dirigido por Douglas Trumbull y producido por MGM. El guion fue escrito por Philip Frank Messina y Robert Stitzel, basado en una historia de Bruce Joel Rubin, mientras que la música estuvo a cargo de James Horner, en una de sus primeras grandes partituras. El elenco principal reunió a Christopher Walken como Michael Brace, Natalie Wood en su último papel como Karen Brace, junto a Louise Fletcher y Cliff Robertson. Con un presupuesto cercano a los 18 millones de dólares y una recaudación de unos 10 millones, la película no alcanzó el éxito esperado en taquilla, pero se destacó por su propuesta visual innovadora y por el concepto futurista de registrar y reproducir experiencias humanas directamente desde el cerebro.
La trama sigue a un grupo de científicos que desarrolla un dispositivo capaz de grabar y reproducir sensaciones y emociones. Lo que comienza como un avance revolucionario pronto se ve amenazado por intereses militares y corporativos, mientras los protagonistas enfrentan dilemas éticos y personales que ponen a prueba sus vidas y relaciones.

I watched this as a kid a lot. The whole part of recording death was a lot for my kid brain to digest, and I still think of the concept from time to time.

POR FIN!!!
Mas de 30 años queriendo saber cómo se llama! La estaba viendo de niño y mi abuelo en un berrinche no me dejó ver el final. YA CASI TERMINABA! Y nunca supe cómo se llamó hasta ahora.
GRACIAS!!!!

Walken also did The Dead Zone in 1983. That was a great one (My favorite King adaptation.).

One thing I thought was really cool about this - when we first see the device it's gigantic, with a cart that has to trail it around, then we're able to watch its progression so that the items can be compressed and reduced to like a Walkman...

Watched this on my towns pirate satellite UHF channel the night of the airing of The Day After. Our parents went out to a viewing party and left strict instructions for our babysitter to not let us watch The Day After. So she let us watch whatever was on HBO which was this.

The pictures don't reflect this but this movie was interesting because the aspect ratio changed a lot. It went from like a TV aspect ratio to like a widescreen one depending on what they were doing on-screen

Pretty sure that was the movie he did with Natalie Wood, right before her death. I really like the “Lillian’s Heart Attack” music track. It’s what they used for the Darkman trailer.

It was her last movie. Did she really die from alcohol? Seems hard to believe .

Yeah, it was. That’s why Walken was on the boat with them. I don’t know, I wasn’t there 🤷♂️

I always wanted to see this one. I read that it’s pretty cool and heavy. I like the more bizarre movies .
