Faces in the Crowd

     I love love love loved this movie.  This movie was a pleasant surprise.  Milla Jovovich plays a woman who's life changes when she encounters a man trying to kill a woman in a dark alley or pier area.  He becomes aware of her presence when her cell phone rings.  In short, she falls off the pier and bumps her head causing brain damage.  The brain damage I believe is called Prosopagnosia, or "face blindness".  Milla's character is no longer able to recognize anyone's face.  Her boyfriend is a completely different person every time she looks at him.  Kind of makes making love a nice encounter when you're having sex with a different face every time you look at him lol.  This movie will really get to psychology or neuroscience majors.  I found it fascinating how scary it would be to no longer be able to recognize the ones you love.  I will warn that it is about the killer kind of stalking her because he knows that she cannot recognize her.  So, if you don't like suspenseful movies then I would pass.  But this movie and the ideas in it are awesome.
