Cold Souls

"The soul has its principal seat in the small gland located in the middle of the brain".
Rene Descartes - The passions of the soul, 1649
Oh...The movie I just saw started of like this. "Cold Souls". Yes, was different. Let me put it this way - you ever imagined that you could extract the soul from your body and that soul would come out as an object of a particular shape, texture and colour like any other organ and you could actually store it!!! Well someone did some real thinking. The genre was comedy even though it was limited to some scenes, other plaes in which I saw some truth. The movie kept stressing how empty a man would feel inside without the soul. Oh, and by the way, yes, this is just my review of the movie. The director also managed to bring in the concept of soul trafficking just like any other substance. The movie was slow, but worth a watch. Giamatti was good, too good. Managed to get these from imdb.
