I have been listening to the soundtrack of the 1991 movie "Until the End of the World" It is really good, espcially the song by U2 called "Until the End of the World."
The movie itself deals with a woman named Claire who follows a man named Sam Farber, who uses the name of Trevor McPhee, across Europe after a brief encounter with him in Paris. She is just interested in knowing more about this strange man who she has fallen for. As she trails at his heals, her husband,Gene, follows her, patiently waiting for her to stop her obsession with Farber and return to him.
Now, Farber is traveling to specific cities throughout the world to find certain people that his mother knew when she was growing up. He uses a camera that takes pictures that the blind can see. The camera records the image and the biochemistry of the brain during the recording to relay the information to the blind person. Sam is doing all this traveling for his mother, who is blind herself and so his fatehr will love him. Along with this, there is a detective following him because the US government claims that the camera is government property and that Sam Farber stole it.
The movie takes Sam Farber, Claire, Gene, a German bounty hunter named Philip Winter, a detective from Australia, and Jazz, a friend of Claire's, to the Outback of Austrlia where Sam's father has his lab set up with the help of the Aborigines who live there, helping him work his lab.
In the main backround of this movie, an Indian Nuclear Sattelite goes out of control. If it impacts, it will kill millions of people. The USA claims that an orbital detonation of the sattelite would not cause any harm and it is debated in the UN on whether or not this is true. In the end, the USA does detonate the sattelite in space, causing a major electromagnetic pulse to shut off and wipe out every electrical systems throughout the world. This in the latter part of the middle, so the sattelite is not too much a big deal.
This is a really good movie if you like to read into things, which Ocean Girl is like. I have included the link of the Until the end of the World Information page. This is a really good page.
Hope you like this review.
