Humanity has a limited time on this planet, and each of us will eventually face the inevitable outcome of death. Whether you believe in reincarnation, an afterlife, waking up in a simulation, or one of the myriad theories about what happens after death, the fact is that we all have a limited time on this beautiful planet. Watch this movie on Afdah info.
Death is a fascinating and frightening subject, but humanity has made incredible progress in this field since the 1840s. If we look at the median age at death over this period, it has risen from the mid-40s to the mid-80s in 2020. Humanity has managed to essentially double the range of expected ages in that period. This raises the big question of where we go from here as a species, and whether we will see an increase in that age over a similar period.
The longest-lived person ever recorded is Jeanne Calmet, who lived to be 122 years old. And now, one man is determined to break that record and go down in history as the man who tried to defy aging and "live forever." Or at least for a lot longer than expected.
However, there's no cryogenics involved here. Instead, there's advanced algorithmic health programs, copious amounts of medication, specific sleep patterns every night, and cutting-edge experiments.
The man in question is a tech billionaire named Brian Johnson. After selling Venmo and funding Project Blueprint, Brian is on a mission to extend life and slow aging. For 90 minutes, we follow this man who uses himself as a human guinea pig to subvert current ideas about aging and death and live the most optimal life possible.
The film explores Brian's daily habits, detailing the number of medications he takes for different parts of his body. We also see archival footage that reveals Brian's upbringing, his tumultuous relationship with religion, and his desire to be the best father he can be to his son Talmage.
There are also some details about Brian's ugly separation from his ex-wife Taryn, including a lawsuit with numerous allegations that he contends are all fabricated.
Much of this is due to Brian's health problems, which he spends around $2 million a year on, so his passion is understandably dampened by the worldwide criticism of his actions.
The documentary attempts to be fair, using interviews to speak to those who are skeptical of Brian and his supporters' work. It also features footage of YouTubers discussing his work, including a particularly scathing critique of his olive oil and the Amazon affiliate links on his website.
