We have arrived at installment number six! Who knew I could stick with something for more than a single week?!? Weird. Anyway, Welcome! So, we have been methodically working our way through this enormous list of Mind Job movies, that started with number one right here. As a reminder, here are our criteria for determining what a mind job movie even is:
- Reality is Untrustworthy
- The Ending Reconstitutes Everything
- Identity is Unstable
- Time is Fractured
- Psychological Dread
- Moral Inversion.
Fantastic. With all that said, let’s get to the reason why you are here… The movies!
