Hello Everyone

Not to long ago I was watching a movie trailer in which a man was building some kind of computer/imaging device or something similar onto the top of his head. As the movie progresses he gets older and the technology on his head grows larger. I remember at one point in the trailer it seems that he is teaching/telling a story to a large group of kids in a huge warehouse. If this rings a bell for anyone please let me know what the tilte to this movie is. I have been searching for this movie for awhile now with no success.

Thanks
 
Gonna start with Tetsuo: Bullet Man ?

What else can you recall about the trailer? Foreign film? Animated? Anything else?
 
Thanks for the reply

Bullet Man is not the movie though unfortunately. In that film the technology looks like bio-tech or more sumbmerged into his skin. In the movie I am refering to the man in the film litterally just keeps putting pieces of tech onto the top of his head. It really looks like he has a little city on his head at one point. Kind of imagine what it would look like if you stacked multiple digital cameras onto your head and thats kind of what it looked like. The film was foreign im pretty sure but dont quote me on that. It was not animated and it seemed to take place in a large warehouse for much of the movie. I wish i remembered more about the premise of the movie. If I had to guess I would say its about a man who is trying to blur the line between man and machine while gaining as much knowledge about the univers as possible through the almost internet like device attached to him. He is also talking to many kids in the trailer which leads me to beleive that he is unloading his knowledge onto them the younger generation.
 
Hmmmm. Do you recall if it was a newer film or an older film? Sounds kinda similar to the style of City of Lost Children. Augmenting humanity with technology definitely puts it in the cyberpunk bin though, so maybe check lists of cyberpunk films and see if anything looks/sounds familiar.

And watch Tetsuo, it's awesome. Follow it up with Avalon (directed by Mamoru Oshii of Ghost In The Shell fame).

I think I need to schedule a cyberpunk binge in the near future myself!

Was exactly what I was thinking - though he is stealing the children's dreams in this film. I also don't recall if he continued to add items to his dream stealer, though granted it has been some time since I've seen this film. Might be a good time to dust off the DVD and watch it tonight.
