Brainstorm: Difference between revisions

* [[In Another Man's Shoes]]

* [[In Memoriam]]: The film has the dedication "To Natalie" at the end of the credits in honor of Wood.

* [[Mental Picture Projector]]

* [[Mental World]]

* {{spoiler|[[To Hell and Back]]}}

* [[Troubled Production]]: The film was nearly canned by the studio as a result of Natalie Wood's death, but director Douglas Trumbull said the film could still be completed, and it took about two more years to work things out and finish the movie before it was finally released in 1983. The stress of finishing the film after Wood's death pushed the director away from moviemaking as well.

* [[What Could Have Been]]: Brainstorm was supposed to be the debut of the director's new film technology called Showscan, which can record and project 70mm film at 60 frames per second (compared to the industry standard of 24fps), in order to make make the film more realistic and exciting during the "virtual reality" segments. But unfortunately the plans fell though to use this new film process, so the director made a compromise by filming said segments in 24fps but with 70mm and adding surround sound effects, while everything else was filmed in normal 35mm with mono sound and a less-wide aspect ratio.

* [[Your Mind Makes It Real]]: Lillian dies while hooked up to the machine. Someone else "watches" the recording, and has the exact same heart attack, dying in the process. The tape records all brainwaves and some physical indicators, so playing that tape unmodified would literally give the watcher the same heart arrhythmia.
