Extractors (Leonardo DiCaprio & Company, Inception, 2010)

A man since the name Cobb, together with a small team of like-minded people, is engaged in industrial espionage. Using secret military developments, he penetrates the minds of sleeping people, walks through their dreams and steals secret valuable information. This profession is called “extractor” (extractor). One day, a Japanese industrialist-billionaire asks Cobb not to steal, but, on the contrary, to introduce one thought into the brain of a young man who is about to become the head of a rival concern. This idea is that the empire that the guy inherited from his dead father must be destroyed. Moreover, he must consider that he came to this conclusion on his own … However, it is completely possible that everything in Christopher Nolan’s film, from beginning to end, is just a dream of Leonardo DiCaprio’s hero, who dozed off during a long flight and involuntarily dragged his fellow travelers into a dream. business class cabin.

Time Machine Killer (Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis, Looper, 2012)

Complicated science fiction film by Rian Johnson. In the magical world of 2072, the profession of a killer has undergone significant changes. Now clients are delivered directly from the future (another thirty years more distant than 2072), and it is enough for the killer to shoot the connected “client” in the head and then get rid of the corpse. To the cynical hero of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, all this seems to be a very convenient and profitable business, until one day he is delivered from the future of himself, who has grown old and has acquired the appearance of Bruce Willis. For sentimental reasons, Gordon-Levitt cannot kill himself – and therefore, violates the strict terms of the contract. Bruce Willis, as a result, quarrels with his own young version, and then sets off in search of a criminal who will destroy his dearly beloved wife in the future. So far, this is a child, and Willis, who has lost the remnants of morality, intends to shoot him while he is still small.

Bioexorcist (Michael Keaton, Beetlejuice, 1988)

Truly a rare profession not only in our world, but also in cinema. The heroes of Tim Burton’s film are a married couple who died in a car accident and returned to their cute mansion as ghosts. The house will soon have new tenants with whom they cannot get along in any way. And the spouses decide to scare them so much that they themselves left the home. Why do they resort to the services of a small demon named Betelgeuse, which in the American manner is easier to pronounce as Beetlejuice (that is, literally “bug juice”). If ordinary exorcists exorcise demons, then Beetlejuice positions itself as a “bio-exorcist”, and expels living people from homes. However, soon the spouses will be very sorry that they contacted this monster that brings chaos …

The Memory Eraser (Tom Wilkinson, Mark Ruffalo, Elijah Wood, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, 2004)

Another wonderful technology allows you to penetrate into the human brain and remove certain painful memories from there. This is done by a company with the appropriate name Lacuna. The procedure is painless, but lengthy; it is often resorted to by unfortunate lovers who dream of forgetting those who abandoned them. For example, the hero of Jim Carrey, a guy named Joel Barish, wants to destroy all memories of the girl Clementine (Kate Winslet). And, while all their dates and quarrels are being eliminated in his head, he realizes that he still loves her …

Gene Donor (Jude Law, Gattaca, 1997)

Stylish science fiction film by Andrew Niccol now seems to be slightly forgotten, and very in vain. Firstly, it is really worth watching, and secondly, we are getting closer to that wonderful future where the action unfolds. In this world, scientists have learned to give ideal genes to embryos. Parents can choose any hair color and facial features for their baby; and most importantly, everything that is responsible for disease and trouble, from cancer to baldness, from mental illness to a tendency to caries, is completely erased from the genome. We get a perfectly healthy child that grows into a superman. That’s just the hero of Ethan Hawke was not lucky: he was born in the usual way, the old fashioned way. At the same time, she passionately dreams of flying into space. And there they take only genetically modified. But the hero finds a way out: he contacts the hero of Jude Law, who is just perfect, only half paralyzed after an accident. And Lowe (not for free, of course) begins to supply Hawk with his blood, urine, hair – everything that can be taken for analysis in order to pretend to be an ideal candidate for astronauts … If it weren’t for paralysis, this is the dream job for any lazy person.
