5.0 out of 5 stars
a movie that will keep you thinking, July 8, 2001
This review is from: Synthetic Pleasures [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This movie will not only intrigue, fascinate, educate and bewilder, it will also change your life (or at least how you look at it). It explores how all things synthetic from plastic surgery and indoor beaches to cryogenics are slowly becoming more natural to us. Yes, we are living in a superhyped techno-world, but the technological advances coming out everyday are changing more than just the speed of our internet connection. Whether these changes are good or bad, the film does not judge. This movie left me feeling confused, excited, scared, shocked and yet hopeful about what lies ahead for us. SYNTHETIC PLEASURES is a brilliant film but it doesn't give any answers. Instead, it forces us to think on our own. A great companion to this movie is Mark C Taylor's book, HIDING.
