Post Concussion

This is a really wonderful comedy. It is light, insightful, funny, sorrowful, pleasing, and amusing, all at the same time. I saw it at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood and got to meet the director and much of the cast. He is a modest man with great skills as a movie maker.

The only problem with the movie is that it was made with virtually no money, and it shows. But this fact also shows that skill and ability will always beat out money in terms of the end product.

The movie itself is about a business consultant who suffers a brain injury as the result of an auto accident, and the effect this has upon his life. The movie covers his recovery, loss of job, and his experimentation with alternative medicines.

The protagonist is a Korean, the child of immigrants. During his illness he watches TV and gets to view various interesting shows, including "Plan Nine From Outer Space" which never looked better. Because of money issues several of the actors played numerous rolls. One of the TV shows he watches has himself in a show on the wildlife of the Scottish Highland. The hero himself plays a certain McWong who claims to be Scottish. The scene is a classic.

Another classic scene involves the protagonist visiting the insurance company handling his disability and getting a first hand sample of what the actions of his firm have done to its client companies.

If you get a chance to see this movie take it.
