The Law of the Conservation of Energy. That law basically states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be "messed with". We can change it and rearrange it but we can't make more of it or delete any of it. This film takes great artistic license with that law and plays with it (the scientifically bent need not register the "errors", they are well understood and such complaints need to note the reference to "artistic license" above). If you imagine something, you give it energy. If you half imagine it and then change your mind and dump the idea ... observing the Law of the first sentence ... that which you half created doesn't magically vanish. It has energy, it has reality, it exists ... but not enough to post in our daily reality. So where does it go? It's (by the rules enacted in this film)... "re-cycled". I kept thinking, while watching this mesmerizing film, that question belonging to the modern phone-call world ... "where is "hold"? Where do things we create, when we no longer need them, go? They have energy, tangible presence and interact with our world until they've lost our interest. Do they just ... go away? Not according to the Law of the Conservation of Energy. According to that law, they have to become ... something. That "something" is the hub of "Re-Cycle". It wisely centers on a writer who bleeds her life into her work. Maximum giving energy to thoughts and ideas. She eventually has to confront all those entities and ideas she created and summarily dumped when she was through with them, condemning them to a wasteland waiting to be re-cycled ... energy cannot be created or destroyed ... only changed. It finally becomes a morality tale, too personal to have to fiddle with political correctness. Beginning ties to end ... nicely. There are a lot of "What the (bleep) was that?" scenes I'm certain additional viewings will help (which I intend to have). For me, a knockout. But I want to leave you with a phrase ... just something to think about ... "embryo rich vaginal tunnel". Light you up? It did me.
This one isn't a "I've seen", this is an "I own".
