Originally a 1995's minor success (and 90's in general) this is the kind of movie that it needs an urgent revision: this is the quintessential of the New Age's movies. Behind the story of Jeremy Reed (nicknamed Powder), a boy with an extraordinary mind but socially unadapted, exists a deep message about compression, love, affection, life, death and the world we living. This movie forces us to look inside ourselves, in our same soul. The innocence of Jeremy, that lives in a world that he don't understands surrounded by people that fear him and hate him could be the story of anyone today. The tour-de-force of the story asks question about our relations and the way that we look and feel to the others (friends, familiars...). Along the film, there is implied an intention to renovate the human genre, the human spirit, to go to the next step of the evolution. Making a comparison, Jeremy perhaps could be a new Jesus, a new prophet that like his predecessor, he comes to Earth to transmit a message to improve to all humanity. We love with Jeremy, fear with him, hate with him and we feel with him his pain, his sadness, his angry and his deception of the people that they can't understand him. In certain way, all we are Jeremy, living in a world that we don't understand with people that don't understand us. Jeremy symbolizes, after all, hope: hope to be better, hope to improve the world, to improve ourselves, to look with new eyes to around us. It's a message for all, for one, for each one of us. If in true we can do it, if it's possible and there is a possibility to get it by little it be, then it will be worthwhile to try it. New Age is coming, and the movies like Powder are the proof of its imminent arrival...
