Déjà vu

according to wikipedia the term "déjà vu" (French for "already seen", also called paramnesia) describes the experience of feeling that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously. The term was coined by a French psychic researcher, Émile Boirac (18511917) in his book L'Avenir des sciences psychiques (The Future of Psychic Sciences), which expanded upon an essay he wrote while an undergraduate French concentrator at the University of Chicago. The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of "eerieness", "strangeness", or "weirdness". The "previous" experience is most frequently attributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience "genuinely happened" in the past. Déjà vu has been described as "Remembering the future".

The experience of déjà vu seems to be very common; in formal studies 70% or more of the population report having experienced it at least once. References to the experience of déjà vu are also found in literature of the past, indicating it is not a new phenomenon. It has been extremely difficult to invoke the déjà vu experience in laboratory settings, therefore making it a subject of few empirical studies. Recently, researchers have found ways to recreate this sensation using hypnosis.[1]

For me it's one of the best movies I've ever seen....I spent the whole night last night drinking Beer and watching the movie... it was worthed
for the first time in my life I see this well formed combination of Action, Romance, Sci-Fi, and Thriller.

I believe that nearly the same idea was discussed at Steven Spielberg's move "Minority Report" which has taken the whole story to be about showing how smart, handsome and powerful Tom Cruise is. By the end of the movie I felt like I was watching Tom not that soldier in the movie.

The movie started in very calm way, for me I just hear about from my friends. So I didn't even have any idea about that movie so at the beginning, the movie looked so boring. Even after the explosion, there wasn't really much. But after introducing "Snow White" things has become to look more exciting. I liked the way they showed how a man can fall in love with a dead person. Watching every single detail of his/her life, feeling more like they live together.

One other scene I really loved was chasing a car that has passed couple of days ago. I just loved the idea.

I don't want to expose the whole story so you'd better go watch it.
