The Cell is a 2000 American psychological thriller film directed by Tarsem Singh, and starring Jennifer Lopez, Vince Vaughn and Vincent D'Onofrio It received mixed reviews upon its release with critics praising the visuals, direction, make up, costumes and D'Onofrio's performance but commented on the Silence of the Lambs inspired plot, the emphasis on style rather than substance and the somewhat masochistic images. The film marks the directional debut of Tarsem Singh.
Child psychologist Catherine Deane (Jennifer Lopez) is an expert in an experimental treatment for coma patients: a virtual reality device that allows her to enter into the minds of her patients and attempt to coax them into consciousness. When serial killer Carl Rudolph Stargher (Vincent D'Onofrio) falls into a coma before the FBI can locate his final victim, Agent Peter Novak (Vince Vaughn) persuades Deane to enter Stargher's mind and discover the victim's location. Stargher's victim is imprisoned in a cell in the form of a glass enclosure that is slowly filling with water by means of an automatic timer.
The cell (from Latin cella, meaning "small room") is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms. A cell is the smallest unit of life that can replicate independently, and cells are often called the "building blocks of life". The study of cells is called cell biology.
Cells consist of cytoplasm enclosed within a membrane, which contains many biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Organisms can be classified as unicellular (consisting of a single cell; including bacteria) or multicellular (including plants and animals). While the number of cells in plants and animals varies from species to species, humans contain more than 10 trillion (1013) cells. Most plant and animal cells are visible only under the microscope, with dimensions between 1 and 100 micrometres.
The cell was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665, who named the biological unit for its resemblance to cells inhabited by Christian monks in a monastery.Cell theory, first developed in 1839 by Matthias Jakob Schleiden and Theodor Schwann, states that all organisms are composed of one or more cells, that cells are the fundamental unit of structure and function in all living organisms, that all cells come from preexisting cells, and that all cells contain the hereditary information necessary for regulating cell functions and for transmitting information to the next generation of cells. Cells emerged on Earth at least 3.5 billion years ago.
Deny all that is so wrong
It's true
The guilt's in your hands
Follow me follow
I'll lead you away from your cell
If anyone knew you
They wouldn't believe in all they've seen
Monsters within you must never continue
To breathe
So watch me as I leave
And see how it could be
To taste the world again
Suddenly I realize
That I'm just as lonely
Ashamed of never being wanted
What if I knew what it's like for you?
Fathom me fathom
And maybe you'll see I'm your fear
The fever is so high and now I can see why
You're so mean
Feeling tomorrow will leave you in sorrow
Alone
For I will be weary of you feeling sorry
For your own self
Morning I'll see you fall
Down where you ought to have known
Blame the law you broke
