Film Theory: Is Hitman's Bulletproof Skin POSSIBLE? - Summary

Summary

The speaker discusses the film "Hitman" and its character, John Smith, who has a bizarre ability to stay alive despite being shot repeatedly. The speaker speculates that John Smith's survival is due to subdermal body armor, a concept that is not explicitly mentioned in the movie. The speaker then explores the possibility of creating such armor using existing technologies, such as Kevlar and nano cellulose, but concludes that these materials are not suitable due to their weight and lack of flexibility.

The speaker then introduces the concept of graphene, a carbon-based material that is extremely strong, lightweight, and flexible. Graphene has been tested to stop micro bullets, demonstrating its potential as a bulletproof material. The speaker suggests that graphene could be used to create subdermal armor for John Smith, as it would be lightweight, flexible, and resistant to water.

The speaker concludes by asking the audience if they would implant themselves with subdermal graphene armor if they could. The speaker also mentions that the channel has other videos and asks the audience to vote on whether they would implant themselves with subdermal graphene armor.

Facts

1. The discussion revolves around the film "Hitman" and its character John Smith, who has a unique ability to survive being shot repeatedly.
2. The film's premise involves a top-secret organization modifying human DNA to create superhumans, including John Smith.
3. John Smith's survival ability is attributed to subdermal body armor, which is bulletproof.
4. The technology to create bulletproof skin exists, but it's not practical for putting under skin due to its weight and lack of flexibility.
5. Kevlar, a high-strength plastic, is often mentioned as a possible material for bulletproof skin, but it's too heavy and not flexible enough for under-skin use.
6. Nano cellulose, a high-tech material made from natural organic particles, is suggested as a potential material for bulletproof skin. It's stronger than steel, more flexible than plastic, and could theoretically be implanted under the skin.
7. However, nano cellulose is porous and attracts water, which could cause the body to swell if implanted under the skin.
8. Graphene, a carbon-based material, is another potential material for bulletproof skin. It's extremely strong, lightweight, and flexible, making it a good candidate for under-skin use.
9. Graphene has been tested with micro bullets and has shown promising results in stopping the bullets.
10. Graphene is almost completely nonreactive, meaning it wouldn't react with water or dissolve, making it a safe option for under-skin implantation.
11. The film ends with the suggestion that John Smith's subdermal titanium body armor is a plausible example of cutting-edge technology.
