This film directed by: Paul Verhoeven. is about a scientist who makes himself invisible, a story that may have been inspired by H. G. Wells' book The Invisible Man.
What would you do if you could become invisible? Have you ever thought of anything illegal or immoral?
You're not the only person who has come to that conclusion.
Dr. Sebastian Cane is a brilliant scientist who comes up with the key to invisibility.
He will take himself as a guinea pig by disappearing before the eyes of his lab mates.
How will his transformation affect his mind, and will he cross moral barriers now that no one can see him?
Kevin Bacon was chosen to play the main character, Dr. Sebastian Cane, although the actor literally disappears at the beginning of the second act, leaving only the ghost of his presence and his chilling voice.
Elisabeth Shue plays Dr. Linda McKay, a brilliant scientist and Cane's ex-partner, which will give rise to one of the film's themes, the obsession of a man no one can see with a former love whom he can easily spy on.
Science fiction is not just an excuse to show terrifying creatures or lavish new planets.
The genre serves to talk about the great philosophical themes of humanity.
In the case of 'The Invisible Man' we talk about our morality and how it is subject to what we do or don't do when we know that other human beings are not watching or judging us.
It was released in 2000 and nominated for an Oscar for visual effects,
