NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER IN "BLACK BOX"
Amazon's new release, "Black Box", belongs in the Jordan Peele Universe. The story fits perfectly with "Get Out" and "Us". This psychological thriller tells the story of Nolan, a man who struggles to take control of his life after the car accident that kills his wife causes a brain injury that takes his memory.
He becomes desperate to improve after a teacher threatens to take his daughter, so he agrees to an experimental treatment to retrieve his memories from his subconscious. Thanks to a mix of new technology and old-fashioned hypnotism, he begins to uncover hidden memories.
Matthew 7:15 - “Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves." (NLT)
What he finds is a series of dark secrets that suggest he is not the man that everyone assumes him to be. The deeper he digs, the darker the secrets. Until the truth is finally unveiled.
SPOILERS AHEAD
Nolan is fighting another man for control of his body, and the memories he uncovers are not his. They belong to a stranger named Thomas, a failed doctor with a despicable habit of abusing his family. He is a dangerous man with a second chance.
Before he can take his second chance, he must fight Nolan for control. Two men occupy one mind. Only one can emerge. Unlike Thomas, Nolan loves his daughter. He would not go down without a fight. Nolan haunts Thomas' memories in the most traumatic way.
Nolan is not a violent man, so he takes the form of Thomas' dead body: broken and deformed. Just like Thomas' view of the world. It serves as a reminder that Thomas does not belong in his body, especially not in his life.
Luke 12:2 - "The time is coming when everything that is covered up will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all." (NLT)
Violent, abusive men often take the form of good people. Very few people know their true selves, while their victims are bullied into silence. Yet, that cannot remain the case, because angry people are sloppy. Their anger leaks. It can cause legal trouble, lost jobs, and alienated family. Thomas crossed the line so far that it cost him his life.
Will he take Nolan's life too? Does he use his second chance to better himself? Or will his anger consume him all over again? Find out these answer and more by watching "Black Box" on Amazon.
