Brief Plot Summary |
|
In a future closed society, life is controlled only for pleasure, but
one man and woman seek to escape and understand fully all of life's
good and bad experiences.

Interesting Character |
|
I found the title character Logan (Michael York) the most interesting
of all. The book and movie were obviously about his personal growth.
At the start, he is already questioning the purpose of his job as
"Sandman" and the common knowlege that some members are
renewed during Carrousel. He is fascinated by the runner with the
Anhk, and his chance meeting with Jessica, and when his own time
clock is forced (and he learns the truth about lastday), one can
easily see his character grow from simply questioning to absolutly
determined to learn the truth about the old ways that people lived in
an open society with all choices available and with personal responsibility. |

Interesting Scene |

The scene where Logan and Jennifer encounter Box and realize that all
previous runners were captured. As a Sandman, Logan was the first
runner actually prepared to fight and defeat Box, where all previous
runners were frighted and exhausted and entered this area expecting
that they had found the "Sanctuary". It was very though
provoking that only someone that could find and kill runners would
actually be able to suceed as a runner. |
