At least she had the good sense to get out when she realized it wasn't going to work.
The author of the novel this is based on is William Gibson who's the originator of cyberpunk. So to me, it seemed more like cyberpunk. Gibson's first novel was 'Neuromancer' published back in 1984. If you're a reader, I highly recommend his books.
I didn't find the ending to be shocking, instead I found it creepy. For me, the scene with Dafoe fully explaining how a geek is acquired made the ending scene where the carnival boss offers Cooper the job, using the same strategy, quite chilling. You know Cooper's character recognizes what's happening but is helpless to resist. Even though I knew it was coming, it still creeped me out.
The actress is okay, I guess, but I'm wondering --- Have you seen her in anything else? Does she always talk with her mouth mostly shut and her lips moving as little as possible? I find that very distracting.
Thanks, everyone! Nothing resonates so maybe I just thought there was a term. I do appreciate your responses.
Also when it shows Gumpenberger doing gymnastics during her telling her version of what happened. That was funny!
I have no idea! That is so weird.
I tried again and it came up with this link.

Yes!!! Vsauce has a really interesting video that expresses that same idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjqt8
Young people now are dressing like future old people!
My impression was just that it showed the story to be in the future.
Sadly, it isn't better than Inception or like Strange Days.
You surely have other good qualities.
Thanks, hownos! You always provide such interesting links.
Wasn't it already scheduled before she died? I don't think it was an afterthought.
Anyone on Amber’s side?
Not me.
I didn't really understand the ending, the very end where they're back in the real world and he's working on a building design. I know it's been 2 years since you posted but do you remember?
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
I will take your words under advisement. Though it looks like the kind of odd, weird, film that nobody else likes but I do. 😊
I have never understood the way people use the term 'cultural appropriation.' Most instances I've seen seemed to me to be cultural appreciation. I don't really get why wearing your hair in the same style is belittling. If you were doing it to make fun of them, yes. Like the old skits with people wearing black face and exaggerating and mocking the way people talk, yes, that's mean. But, "Oooh, I like the way she does her hair. I'm going to fix mine that way," doesn't seem like belittling to me.
You're welcome!
It says in the description next to the poster that these are twins who were born with sight.
