Scanners
David Cronenberg
1981
A group of people with the extraordinary ability to scan minds and explode heads are on a mission to fight against their own kind, while the government wants to use them as weapons – because what could go wrong with that? Oh, and there's a lot of intense staring and nosebleeds too, so that's fun.
Guess the perspective of the following positive and negative comments provided by AI.
Answer at bottom!
+ A mind-blowing masterpiece that transcends the boundaries of the physical realm and delves into the depths of the human psyche, leaving the audience utterly spellbound and thirsting for more.
- The use of psychic powers in "Scanners" was so laughably inaccurate, it's clear that the filmmakers have no idea what they're doing in the realm of the supernatural.
Now some haikus and midjourney art…

Nine Points of View
The Optimist
The parts that shine are fantastic holding the rest of the movie on stilts.
The Mystic
What are the limits of mental energy?
The Hyperbolist
Greatest head explosion ever!
The Dualist
Good movie, the ending makes up for the rest of it.
The Trickster
A great sequel to Carrie.
The Skeptic
Trying to piece together motivations at the end of the movie is confusing, but then again it was supposedly written as they filmed due to a tight schedule from the finances. Oh Tax Breaks.
The Rationalist
A corporation hiding the side effects of their product, sounds realistic.
The Empath
Can you imagine a scanner devoted to making people feel more connected with one another? Take a few steps in these mocassins.
The Overthinker
Feels like the Cold War inspired a ton of movies fueled by paranoia and concern of the unknown. And it still wasn’t enough.
