Just saw Michelangelo Antonioni's THE PASSENGER again after thirty years. Talk about abandoning one "character" and picking up another! The movie illustrates that dropping personal history is sometimes not so easy…even when it seems that the "you" you are dropping is dead. You somehow follow yourself around and come back to bite yourself in the butt. Be careful who you switch identities with…if the "new you" turns out to be a gun runner, you might wind up dead twice.
I highly recommend checking out the re-release of the movie, which Nicholson owns, and, finally, the release of the DVD.
