Movie #880 ........................."The Voorman Problem"

Movie #880 "The Voorman Problem" is the one that didn't have subtitles, and it had THE somewhat famous actor (Martin Freeman (Bilbo) plays the doctor.  But this one seemed like a tease to me, in comparison to the others.  It stretches your imagination and is science fiction-like, but in the whole vast scheme of things, I won't remember it after a couple of days.  It actually is a stolen idea from a Poe story, so you can somewhat guess the ending.................but if not, it's a tease, a delight for a few moments, and then you move on.  Not any better from watching it.








The Voorman Problem(2012)  I would give this 3 stars out of 5

 -  Short | Comedy | Drama  -  25 April 2013 (USA)

Doctor Williams is called in to examine the enigmatic Mr Voorman, a prisoner with a peculiar affliction: he believes he is a god. The Doctor must decide on the sanity of Mr Voorman - is he a faker or a lunatic? Diagnose him insane and they can ship him off to the asylum. But before making a decision, the Doctor has several questions in relation to Voorman's claims: why would a god choose to be straitjacketed in a prison, is there a way he can validate his boast and what has any of this got to do with Belgium?
