The Final Cut (Suicide after discovering implant)

Brief description

A girl who was "a complete wreck" finds out that she has a Zoe implant recording everything she does, and commits suicide in a way that will destroy the implant, so that no "rememory" video can be produced for her funeral. 

This is told as a story overheard when the main character (played by Robin Williams) walks into a room early in the movie.

Pull Quotes

Hasan : This girl was a complete wreck - drinking, drugs, in and out of schools. Then she turns 21... and she finds out about her Zoe implant. Complete 180. She's born again. Her knowing that someone would one day watch... transforms her into this kind, gentle, loving person.

Michael : So what happened?

Hasan : She committed suicide. Took a dive off her balcony... 27 floors straight onto her head. The implant was instantly vapourized.
