DVD Reviews of Human Body: Pushing the Limits
DVD Review: Great for raising consciousness...
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw the last two segments on HDTV, buying the DVD. What I got from these two episodes was much more than the technical flaws mentioned by BBP. I liked how they showed the graphic images of the brain and what is going on in the brain while the action is taking place or has taken place, which connected behaviors and injury with the brain, very important. The best part was when they showed the segment on sight and how the brain reacts to a flood of information (we are not as unperceptive as one might think), great work there. It made me aware of a broader problem with people who are on starvation diets and how that might affect those around us, it also changed my thinking about lower calorie (1200-1600 kcal) diets and aging, though I would have liked more detail about the reasoning behind this, some of which I already know.
While BBP was apparently focused on the technical flaws it seems he missed what was intended. I think it's worth the money if you have little knowledge about human physiology and are a younger audience not wishing to see a lot of gore. Several viewings and your brain and mind will get the messages. If you are looking for something more technical with more gross anatomy, then this is not for you and I agree National Geographic's 1975 film on the Human Body may be more to your liking. I do have that one and despite all the gore I have seen on television it still unnerves me to view this one. The brain has been trained to look outside the human body for millenia and looking into it, if you are not a Doctor, takes some time to adjust to but is worth the effort.
