flatliners leave quite a noticeable impression in my head . the story be quick pace and leave you constantly absorb and at many time quite tense . it about five remarkable student doctor ( notably julia robert and kevin bacon ) among whom and one of them have devise the mechanism of remain dead ( or get flat line ) for a few second and then come back to life . the procedure be quite complex involve a plethora of medical knick knack injection and electric blanket and oxygen mask and a variety of esoteric medical term . i strongly suspect doctor coin all these word so that they never need to get lay off . but funnily they follow the kiss ( original version for engineer represent keep it simple and stupid ) ( extend version for doctor represent keep it stupid and simple ) philosophy as well . at the risk of get euthanized by some revenge take doctor reader and let me continue . so the first guy who get flat line hope to find the answer to life which philosophy and religion can not convincingly answer . he hop to get it answered ( and become famous ) through apply science . he flat line for around two minute and then come back into our world leave quite shake . during death and he have a vision of an incident and when he be young and which leave the strong impression on his life . he kill another boy when he be kid and by accident and and he still feel responsible for it . with the success of the first flat liner and the others follow suit each of them extend their flat line time far and far to test the limit of how long one can remain dead and experience life after death . meanwhile monster from the past and future and keep come back to haunt them after their flat line experience . the first flat liner be haunt by a young kid who torture him when he be alone . the second who camera ed all the woman he take to bed and see television set all over play his video . the third be haunt by a young girl who he tease in school . the fourth be haunt by her suicide dead father and for whom she feel responsible . all of them be drive insane by these haunting and obsession and think that the past seem to want to take revenge on them . the main focus on get flat line be that your entire life pass through your eye and at the moment of wouldying and whatever stage that be and and you be leave mostly with the strong impression of life in your mind . since they do not die these strong impression have somehow resurface and have become the focus of their life . all of them somehow come to term with ( and extinguish ) their past demon . all of them except the first one who realize the only way he can move on through life be get flat line again . during this flat line session and he see himself get flat line the first time and also see the boy he kill and try to kill him this time round . the boy kill him this time for a few minute and in do so have seek revenge . for a few minute in the movie one be leave wonder if he get to come back . thankfully ( because most of u like happy ending ) the boy absolve him of his past and he come back to life again .
