What if High Fidelitywasn’t a record-shop breakup comedy... but a near-future psychological thriller about a lonelyjanitor using an abandoned cloning machine to rebuild his love life one ethically catastrophic decision at a time?
In this episode of No Context Cinema Club, Rob attempts to rewrite High Fidelity having never seen it. All he has to work with is the title, a few suspiciously well-placed clues from Kev, and an alarming amount of confidence in a man called Tom Wynne.
Expect:
As Tom tries to clone his ex-girlfriend and run away into the Chicago rain, his increasingly selfish plan raises bigger questions about identity, memory, morality, and whether being dumped can ever justify becoming a low-rent sci-fi villain.
After Rob locks in his completely fabricated plot, Kev scores the chaos for coherence, entertainment, and originality.
Has Rob reinvented High Fidelity as a bleak cloning nightmare, or just built the world’s most self-absorbed breakup movie?
