Dystopia of medical technology
Recently, medical technology is developing to cure and take care of humans' sickness or disability, i.e. pace makers, X-ray,lazers, gastrocamera and so on. Many people's lives are saved by a technology.
However, I think it is going to be dystopia if it goes too far.
These are the films that show medical technology (for phycial and mental):
Roujin Z:
A story about an old Japanese man who was tested for new technology. He starts to taken care by a robot, which can look after people. However, the robot starts to joy ride, because the computer system gets into the old man's mind and starts to grant his will. So it gets out from the hospital with the old man in it and goes out to the city.
Eternal sunshine:
A technology of erasing memories. In the movie people can erase one's memory which one wants to forget, so that people don't have to struggle by a past memory. But people should over come their past in by themselves, because people should learn from the past.
Casshern:
A story of a guy who once died in war, but revived by his chemist father. He was reborn but as an android, so he was not happy, and also had to fight again.
Vanilla Sky:
A story of the man who became frozen, and escaped from real world into dream world to be free from suffering of his girl friend's death.
