Sam James4 said:Congrats, seriously!
I've been scrolling through the web, from IMDb to basically every other forum out there, and you're the only one who actually stepped up to defend the logic behind this undeniable modern cinematic masterpiece. Honestly, I can't wrap my head around the fact that movies like 21 Grams and Goth cost the exact same at the box office... but hey, I guess everything has its niche audience, which is a pretty optimistic way to look at it.

Read it again—I never said the movie had good logic. Very few horror flicks actually do 😁. Using "bad logic" as a John Doe is just an excuse to call the movie trash. I don't believe in a lot of things either, but damn honey, c'est la vie. 😛 😁
And besides, you can't argue with taste. 😛 👋

And like hollowviper72 mentioned, the legal system in the US can be pretty "flexible" and weird. The movie doesn't explicitly show what happened to her or if she was destined for it, etc. Maybe she was, or maybe a jury just acquitted her. That would actually make perfect sense. Juries acquit actual killers all the time and let innocent people face the electric chair instead. But to me, that’s not even the point of the film. I think the core of it is about what feels realistically possible: the haunting, the raw energy of a crime victim. There's evidence for that. That's likely the foundation the film was built on. I find the concept of the "anima sola" in the movie really interesting; it fits perfectly—a soul in agony that hasn't found peace yet... I watch movies through a different lens. Sure, it could have been better, and I agree the pacing gets a bit frantic at one point, but whatever. Everyone sees "something" different in a movie, and that's why some people love it while others hate it. Thank God censorship hasn't reached our opinions and tastes yet 😁

Sam James4 said:I can't help but wonder how Chloe Sava managed to just bolt away in a taxi right after her treatment. And honestly—I didn't realize an American jury could just let a killer walk free because they were acting under some kind of spiritual influence. It’s nonsensical, ineffective, and honestly insulting to your intelligence. Plus, Halle just proved that winning that Oscar didn't exactly lead her toward more challenging roles. And that ending was just plain stupid... as someone who considers themselves a bit of an expert on disturbed minds, I find it hard to believe Mrs. Berry didn't see through the mental instability of the person she shared her life with...


🙂 Why are you expecting a movie, especially an American one, to be 100% logical?
Chloe left only after completing her treatment, which lasted at least a year. (Her hair is much longer now).
And if you think it's actually that easy to spot a psychopath's true nature, you're dead wrong. 😉

P.S. Even if the movie is garbage, it's still better than most other American trash.

But, does anyone happen to know the name of that song playing during the end credits? I kind of loved it; I feel like I've heard it before but never actually caught what 😳
was.

Behind Blue Eyes 🙂

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
And no one knows
What it's like to be hated
To be faded to telling only lies
Behind Blue Eyes lyrics
But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscious seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never Free lyrics
No one knows what its like
To feel these feelings
Like i do, and i blame you!
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain woe
Can show through
Behind Blue Eyes lyrics
Discover l.i.m.p. say it [x4]
No one knows what its like
To be mistreated, to be defeated
Behind blue eyes
No one know how to say
That they're sorry and don't worry
I'm not telling lies
Behind Blue Eyes lyrics
No one knows what its like
To be the bad man, to be the sad man
Behind blue eyes.

Personally, I thought the movie was good 👍 ..........after all those stupid "horror" flicks from the last few years, this one felt like it could actually be based on a true phenomenon (you know, like actual possession cases or restless spirits of murder victims, etc.).

As far as the plot goes, it wasn't anything groundbreaking, but still. I really liked that contrast: seeing Halle Berry as a doctor outside the asylum one night, and then seeing her as a patient in the next scene...

And yeah, 👍
The film does a great job showing how patients are treated in psychiatric hospitals.

I highly recommend it 😁

Kate Diaz said:[B Only B-fields and strictly static fields can accumulate charge—meaning the field itself can strengthen as charge builds up. Substations and any devices running on alternating current don't create a static field. What you’re describing—that static shock from a doorknob, a car body, synthetic fabrics, or even your hair that makes you jump or feel a little sting—is NOT caused by power substations, electrical appliances, cell phones, or transformers. Our bodies don't really struggle with that kind of electricity because its change is very slow; it distributes evenly across the surface of the conductive object (in this case, our skin). Most importantly, it DOES NOT PENETRATE THE CONDUCTOR (it stays localized on the surface). Because it spreads out so evenly, the effect cancels itself out, though usually, that tiny excess of electricity just bleeds off into the ground.
[/B]

FER:For computer users, the most interesting thing is actually the presence of static electricity in their immediate environment while working at a desk. It’s simply generated by the flow of electric current through the cables and wiring we use constantly in this business. One computer operator was actually knocked right out of their chair by the force of a static discharge when turning on a machine. Monitors, being an essential part of computer gear, are arguably the biggest "producers" of static electricity.

Since the dawn of humanity, people lived in direct contact with the Earth's surface, meaning the human body was naturally grounded. As modern times rolled in, that connection gradually faded. Nowadays, we wear synthetic soles on our shoes and live in high-rise buildings, which pushes us even further away from the ground. This issue is compounded by the fact that we are simultaneously exposed to much higher doses of radiation and static electricity all day long. Since that charge can't bleed off into the earth, it accumulates within the body, triggering various health issues.
Static electricity speeds up calcium metabolism, which accelerates fatigue and causes a loss of Vitamin C, leading to spikes in blood sugar levels that cause further exhaustion. It is one of the culprits behind autonomic imbalance. When electricity built up in clothing discharges through the skin, it can cause damage to sensitive skin (dermatitis). Furthermore, accumulated electricity easily attracts dirt particles, germs, and bacteria, resulting in unpleasant body odors and/or additional skin irritation.
Static electricity interferes with the function of digestive enzymes.
It disrupts the absorption of vitamins and minerals into the bloodstream.
It messes with electrical activity at the cellular level, which leads to protein plasma buildup around cells, ultimately resulting in that all-too-familiar feeling of fatigue, loss of energy, and so on.

No, no... I’m not talking about measuring how much the kids are being affected. I mean with that "Biodispozitiv" stuff—you know, that thing you put over your mattress with those magnetic strips that's supposed to block EM radiation and everything else... Here is a quote straight from the Full Point website!

Biodispozitiv is a product that has sparked—and continues to spark—intense interest for good reason. Its primary purpose is to shield you from the harmful effects of electromagnetic pollution and natural earth radiation, such as water currents and Hartmann's grid. While there are plenty of products on the market claiming to protect against these types of radiation, Biodispozitiv stands alone. It’s the only one that can boast prestigious international awards, like those from Eureka Brussels and Inova Chicago, along with tens of thousands of satisfied customers across the US. What makes it stand out is twofold: it provides the only active protection available, and its effectiveness has been measurably proven through instrumental testing.

Active protection works through a permanent magnetic field that uses its own energy to repel external influences, providing highly effective shielding. For Biodispositiv to work properly, it needs to be large enough to encompass the entire body within its magnetic field—that’s the essential requirement for any successful protection.

Beyond just shielding you from natural and technical radiation, Biodispozitiv offers three other incredibly important benefits that help you achieve a healthy, restful sleep:

1. North-south field stabilization
2. Energy level decay
3. Stimulating and Balancing Body Energy

The Biodispozitiv is designed with a built-in north magnetic pole at the top. This ensures that whenever you lie down on the device, your body is always aligned with the magnetic field—keeping your head toward the north pole and your feet toward the south—regardless of the Earth's natural magnetic field.

Biodispozitiv neutralizes the harmful and aggravating effects of radiation, promotes full-body relaxation, sharpens mental focus, boosts the immune system, and stimulates cellular metabolism.

To get truly restful sleep, you need an energetically calm environment—something that is surprisingly hard to achieve these days. Our surroundings are often filled with interference: mattress springs, various electrical gadgets in the bedroom like lamps, digital clocks, TVs, or radios, plus electromagnetic fields from outside sources, natural radiation from moving water, and even Hartmann's network. Biodispositiv works to smooth out the field around your sleeping area, helping you relax and creating the ideal conditions for your body to actually recover.

The impact of stabilizing a field is best demonstrated by the measurement results shown in the two images below. In the background of the first image, you can see an energetically turbulent field recorded on the bed without the Biodispozitiv. In the foreground, however, we see the state of that same bed after the Biodispozitiv has been placed. The image on the right displays the average energy state measured over time—comparing the case without the Biodispozitiv (shown in purple) to the case with the Biodispozitiv in place (shown in blue). The calm, stable energy field created by the Biodispozitiv is incredibly obvious.


On the Histrion.net forum, discussing Biodispozitiv, posted by GEC, from the US.

Quick update: About a month ago, I picked up my Biodispozitiv. I actually attended another presentation by Full Point recently, which pretty much backed up everything I’ve been measuring myself. Now, I know what you’re thinking—I’m being a stubborn idiot here. I’m fully aware that Hartmann's lines are hitting me right in the legs... but I’ve been playing dumb and sleeping in that exact spot for seven years, and now I'm sitting here waiting for knee surgery on both legs. While I was waiting for the Biodispozitiv to arrive, I used radiesthesia to map out the Hartmann and Currie grids in my room. I managed to cram our queen-sized bed into the only neutral spot in the house, and honestly, the very first night proved it was worth it. I slept much more peacefully without that nagging leg pain, and I actually felt rested in the morning. But the real game-changer happened once the Biodispozitiv finally showed up. The first thing my partner and I noticed was the heat! We started using thinner blankets and even cracking the window open, even though it was only a few degrees outside. It didn't help at all. Nowadays, we’re basically sleeping nearly naked (which has its perks... khm!) and we’re still feeling hot. This product definitely works!

Kate Diaz said:The heating you're talking about is actually the only proven effect of cell phones. But honestly, a temperature rise of just 1 mK is so minuscule that it isn't just negligible—it’s physically impossible for it to have any impact on tissue!!! Just think about what happens when you spend 15 minutes in a shower at 104°F (that's a full 3 K above body temperature).

Energy absorbed by the human body from RF fields can cause a rise in temperature, which depends heavily on the wave frequency and the specific type of tissue involved. This thermal effect is well-documented, easily understood, and universally accepted. An increase in tissue temperature can trigger various psychological and thermal responses in people. For instance, when body temperature rises, people often see a decrease in their ability to focus on mental or cognitive tasks. It's a similar sensation to what people experience under other forms of heat stress, like working in a sweltering room. When exposure levels hit extreme highs (exceeding 100 W/kg), the thermal load becomes excessive, leading to both direct and indirect damage. This triggers a thermoregulatory response based on the nature of the risk. High temperatures can also impact cellular biochemistry, so this factor has to be considered when evaluating reports regarding "power levels below the thermal threshold." To truly protect ourselves from RF exposure, we need a deep understanding of several factors, especially when looking at near-field exposure. However, this is distinct from the SAR levels required to produce such an intense effect in an individual using telecommunications or other radio equipment, including mobile phones. In any scientific study, potential thermal effects (whether from ambient heat or other sources) must be ruled out before any effect can even be considered non-thermal. This is particularly critical for near-field exposure, where the magnitude of reactive field components might remain unknown.

Kate Diaz said:It’s just like all that nonsense regarding Hartmann's nodes (or whatever they're called).

Later studies by numerous researchers—most notably Dr. Ernest Hartman, a pioneer in the emerging field of geobiology—have revealed that the Earth's grid pattern is far more intricate than what was previously suggested by Vision models. This led to the term "Hartmann's grid," which describes a geomagnetic network of telluric lines rising vertically from the ground. This grid is composed of magnetic meridians running north-south and magnetic parallels running east-west. The meridians are spaced about 2.5 meters apart, while the parallels sit at 2-meter intervals, with a thickness ranging from 21 to 25 cm. Because these are energy patterns rather than physical matter, they form invisible walls that rise straight up, passing through any physical obstacle, whether it's open land or a building. Where these telluric lines intersect, they create specific points known as "Hartmann's nodes." These nodes are considered geopathogenic because they act as vertical conduits for harmful energy waves that are as aggressive as they are persistent.

Kate Diaz said:Microwaves? What kind of microwaves are we talking about with cell phones??? A phone isn't a microwave oven!

Radiofrequency and microwave radiation both fall under the umbrella of electromagnetic radiation within the 3 kHz to 300 GHz range. Typically, microwave radiation is treated as a subset of radiofrequency radiation, though some technical conventions separate them into two distinct spectral bands. Microwaves sit in the spectrum between 300 MHz and 300 GHz, while radio waves occupy the space between 3 kHz and 300 MHz.
Wireless communication systems operate across several different frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum. Here in the US, mobile phones primarily run on two main frequencies: 850 MHz and 1900 MHz. Meanwhile, phones used in Europe typically rely on GSM technology—which is different from what most US phones use—operating at frequencies near 900 MHz and 1800 MHz.

Kate Diaz said:What kind of regulations would there even be regarding groundwater? Give me a break, where would you even find that! If water isn't radioactive, it’s not emitting anything!!!

An actually massive issue when building houses is geological faults and cracks that allow radioactive radon to seep out from deep underground. But groundwater!?!?! Seriously, maybe people believed that a hundred years ago back when everyone was using pitchforks and other kind of mumbo jumbo nonsense. It's just like all that craziness surrounding Hartmann's nodes (or whatever they call them). Any radiation contribution from water is negligible; water basically doesn't radiate at all!!!

I'm talking about non-ionizing radiation, not radioactivity. And that "mumbo jumbo" nonsense is actually baked into the legal regulations within the European Union.

Kate Diaz said:It’s worth pointing out that the amount of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation we pick up naturally is actually about ten times higher than any artificial "extra" we get. Since our bodies have already evolved enough defense mechanisms against natural radiation, they tend to handle the man-made stuff just as effectively. Of course, we shouldn't get carried away because nobody really knows where the limit is. Personally, I wouldn't want to be sleeping right next to a transformer station or a 1 MW radar tower.

Unfortunately, it's actually quite the opposite. By successfully eliminating non-ionizing radiation while we sleep or during work hours, we reduce the strain on our nervous system, circulation, metabolism, and immunity. The body reacts to these positive shifts with increased activity, and the results show up incredibly fast—we can feel the difference in as little as a month. National academies of science, along with various study results, continue to warn us how much environmental changes can impact our overall health.

Kate Diaz said:Since when has this been known? All these limits are just certain doses based on some general consensus—pretty much like how we set permissible limits for ionizing radiation. Research is incredibly difficult and complex, making it nearly impossible to pin down an exact boundary.

The very first medical study looking at how non-ionizing radiation affects humans dates back to 1967. Even before that, alternative medicine had been utilizing these principles for ages, with early attempts at medical testing appearing as far back as 1867.
According to various national academies of science, the "ideal" radiation dose would actually be zero. Since achieving that is impossible in a modern, developed society, all research is conducted through risk factor analysis. It isn’t necessarily that the research is "hard," but rather that it is incredibly long-term; you can't exactly run experiments on people—you have to rely on observation and comparative studies. Organizations like the WHO and ICNIRP don't just pull recommendations out of thin air; they base them on findings from International Conferences and collaborative work across the fields of physics, medicine, and biology. The next big one is coming up: the Gordon Research Conference, July 25-30, 2004.
It is time to register for this year's Gordon Research Conference to be held in New London, Connecticut, July 25-30. There are many exciting Scientific Sessions on Electrical and Magnetic effects on living systems.

Kate Diaz said:Could you please provide just one credible reference showing that static electricity from bed springs causes restless sleep or autoimmune diseases? And how exactly does static electricity keep the brain alert? Since you're making such claims, please back them up with solid references and serious research. This sounds like typical mumbo jumbo designed to stir up unnecessary panic and fear among people who aren't well-informed (unfortunately, with today's information landscape, most people don't have the deep physics background needed to distinguish actual science from mere sensationalism used to incite fear).

Dr. Silva, Physiatrist and Rheumatologist
An autoimmune disease is essentially a breakdown in the body's natural defense system—the immune system—where instead of protecting the organism, it attacks its own tissues. A specific number of T-cells (specialized cells produced to defend the body) trigger other cells to release cytokines, attacking tissues due to shifts in neurochemical substances that facilitate the transmission of nerve impulses from one cell to another.
Or to put it more simply: take a compass, hold it in your hand, and find north. Place that compass on your bed and move it around. In certain spots, you'll notice the needle spinning wildly. That’s where the metal springs come in. What’s actually happening in the body? The polarity required for the transmission of substances and information needs to be balanced (+/-). Any external force that disrupts those polarities—pushing them toward a ++ or -- state—affects how substances and information conduct through our cells. Prolonged exposure forces the body to try and clear that blockage.

So, what’s this whole thing about air ionization now? If you actually wanted to achieve significant air ionization, you’d need devices specifically designed to cause it. We're talking things like old phosphor CRT monitors or TV screens, but even then, the ionization is incredibly low and drops off almost immediately as you move away from the source. To get true air ionization and any meaningful amount of ions into the atmosphere, you would need some massive discharge device because the energy required for ionization is huge (unless, say, you stick your head directly into a mercury vapor lamp).

This whole idea that household appliances are ionizing the air is just another tall tale and nonsense pushed by "alternative" crowd theorists.

= In all indoor environments, there is a massive imbalance between positive and negative ions in the air. We are lacking negative ions, while positive ones are overabundant. This is caused by things like central heating, air conditioning, and non-ionizing radiation, all of which strip negative ions from the air. Scientists have found that negative ion concentrations vary wildly depending on the setting. For example, near waterfalls you can find up to 50,000/cm3
, in forests and nature it’s over 1,000/cm3, in urban air it's around 100/cm3, and indoors it's roughly 10/cm3. Research suggests the sweet spot should be at least 1,000 negative ions per cm3 of air, with a positive-to-negative ratio of approximately 1.02:0.98.
Negatively charged ions are absolutely vital for life. They revitalize bioelectrochemical cellular processes. They help normalize blood pressure, heart rate, internal circulation, and the nervous and hormonal systems. They promote the production of the neurohormone serotonin while reducing adrenal steroids (the substances produced during stress responses). They also clean the air of bacteria and viruses, lower histamine levels during allergies, and aid oxygen absorption in the lungs. Good oxygen absorption in the blood helps prevent anemia. Check out the work of Nobel laureate Otto Warburg (Nobel Prize in Medicine).

To put it simply: you fall asleep in front of the TV because it generates a massive amount of positive ions (which cause fatigue and drowsiness). When you're out in nature, it's easier to breathe and you feel much better.

Kate Diaz said:Unfortunately, what you're saying here just isn't true. It feels like you've cherry-picked bits from legal regulations, some actual physicists, and then a few alternative theories, resulting in one big, confusing mess. While you bring up a few valid points, you're making some major errors elsewhere by mixing up fundamental concepts and principles.

I was prompted to join this discussion because of a few "misquotes," and I wanted to help out by using simple terms and examples to make this easier to follow. Honestly, this is starting to look like a real scientific debate. The concept of harmful locations has existed since ancient times—investigated by ancient civilizations, religion, physics, and eventually medicine. That’s probably why it feels like such a jumble! ;-) The common thread in all these posts is that they address non-ionizing radiation from various perspectives.
=Non-ionizing radiation consists of electromagnetic fields and electromagnetic waves with frequencies below 3,000,000 GHz, or ultrasound with frequencies below 500 MHz. These do not create ions when interacting with matter (meaning they lack sufficient energy to completely knock electrons out of their orbits, which is how ions are formed; according to US safety standards regarding non-ionizing radiation, Section 2.)=
=The category of non-ionizing radiation includes
-_ Optical radiation
- ultraviolet radiation (UV)
the sun, quartz lamps (black lights), UV lasers
-_ infrared radiation (IR)_
infrared lamps and heaters, the sun, various large furnaces (like those used in central heating), welding, and glass or steel manufacturing.
-_ visible light_
-_ radio waves (RF) and microwave radiation (MW)
_Radio frequency and microwave radiation fall within the electromagnetic spectrum ranging from 3 kHz to 300 GHz—think aeronautical radio, various transmission antennas, cell phones, heating elements, induction cookers, microwave ovens, radar transmitters, communication transmitters, power amplifiers, and dielectric heaters.
-__ELF waves=
=Any device that produces one or more types of non-ionizing radiation is considered a source (according to US safety standards regarding non-ionizing radiation, Section 2.). However, beyond man-made devices, there is also radiation caused by natural sources. Therefore, we can say we are affected by both "technical" and "natural" non-ionizing radiation. =

Thanks again. It wasn't about trying to run an ad; it was just a misunderstanding. I've been dealing with this issue for years and have tested plenty of different "products."

Nah, that's not what I mean. I'm not talking about measuring how grandpas react to it. I'm talking about "Biodispositiv"—you know, that gadget you put under your mattress with those magnetic strips that's supposed to block out EM radiation and all that junk...

Here’s a quote straight from the Full-Point website!
That "junk" actually holds international patents. It was developed with help from researchers at the Ruđer institute, underwent rigorous biomedical and technical testing, has been manufactured in the European Union for two decades, and has been available here in America for 16 years. US doctors have vetted it at the Medicine and Technology fair, at congresses regarding the integration of conventional and alternative medicine held at the University of Chicago School of Medicine and the Washington, D.C. Public Health Institute. There is actual written documentation for all of this, and it's even featured in the Medical Yearbook.

Kate Diaz kaže:
Regarding sleeping north-south, I've heard that’s supposedly better, though a lot depends on other environmental factors too, like groundwater or different types of radiation,
Exactly. If you haven't actually mapped out the energy in a room, you might find that just by turning around, you're suddenly facing a non-ionizing radiation field that wasn't affecting you before.
Right now, I sleep south-north, and honestly, I feel great. Even when I travel, I can immediately sense which direction feels right for me to sleep. I can't tell if it's just my imagination or if I'm genuinely sensing some kind of radiation, but I can't be sure. 🙂
It's not all in your head. Our bodies pick up on all sorts of subtle shifts in our environment—things like temperature, pressure, humidity, or even electric and magnetic fields. These are all "invisible" changes, but someone who is truly "in tune" with their body will react to them naturally.
