Ok, so after thinking it over I have a fairly concrete explanation of what the movie "The Cell" is really all about. It comes down to this: There really is no evil. All evil and evil behavior comes from maladjusted physical phenomena in the human brain and body; is physiological in nature. If we could just "get in there and fix it", or "crossbow it to the floor" in this case, then we could wipe out psychosis, phsychotics, neurotics, and there would be no more cause for gorgeous females to carry stun guns with them to their cars in the parking garage. All it takes is the science and the time to get into the human mind and "map" it's inerworkings. That would also include, of course, the gifted ability of millions of skilled professional "internal psychologists". Ok, I'm kidding of course. The science is practically impossible, or far off at best. What I'm really focusing on here is the reality that evil exists outside the parameters of science. Someone will inevitably tell me that I can't prove it and that gas and neurons are responsible for everything. It goes something like this: With time and knowledge we will tap the genetic code and alter the course of mankind by rearranging it and weeding out all that reeks of imperfection. Sounds danergerously close to a thought process some Germans made up in the 40s. Of course I'm reading into the screenplay stuff that isn't really there, but....hey, isn't that what I'm not being paid yet to do? Alas...someday. No more on this movie. Like I said, nice effects and great showmanship on the mise' en scene, but you can put really nice makeup on a corpse.
