Swiss Army Man

              What a weird, wonderful film. I highly enjoyed the absurdity and far-fetched story and how impactful it turned out to be. The story is essentially about a man who has been stranded on an island and is about to hang himself after he loses all hope of being rescued. He then sees a man who washed up the shore, who ends up being a magnificent being who's able to do inhuman things that could potentially save his life. They end up becoming good friends and obtaining great hope to return to the life they left behind, even though the inhuman man doesn't remember his old life. The main character, Hank, tricks the inhuman man, Manny, into believing his life was extraordinary and helps him to "remember" it. What Manny doesn't know is the people and events Hank is describing to Manny actually happened in Hank's life. He does this because he thinks hearing about that life will spark real memories for Manny of his own. The movie ends with Hank and Mann...
