Videodrome

"Videodrome" was a very disturbing movie. The main character was subject to a video format called videodrome, which shows torture, and apparently corrupts the brain. When it corrupts the brain, it causes a cancerous protrusion that causes hallucinations, however it is not clear if those hallucinations are real or not. It is not clear if any of the movie is supposed to be real or not. At one point, the main character has his hallucinations taped, but they are not showed, thusly no mediation. Apparently, the videodrome was never shown on tv at all in the movie. If it was though, it would be: Man wears contraption, thoughts are recorded, tape is put on tv. This would be a form of mediation, which actually may be possible in a few decades. Even though the videodrome was not boradcasted, lets assume it was: tv is reality, man watches tv, tv and man interact. I guess this was the premis of the movie; loosing track of reality. If what is inside the tv screen is raw reality, what is going on outside of the tv screen? By incorporating the hallucinations, this theme of loosing track of reality works really well, and as a result, we only know for sure that the main character killed himself.
