Just watched Johnny Mnemonic. Answer me something...

Warning: spoiler

The ghost woman is Johnny's mother, right? I've seen this movie about half a dozen times, but I never get a good enough look at her face.

1. Xen says no

She is the CEO of the medical corporation Pharmikon. Sh died and her digital impression is like an AI and she has Swiss citizenship status under the AI Act.

Xen has an incredible memory for movie trivia.

3. I'm aware of that.

But I think she was also Johnny's mother. I once saw a book-form copy of the original screenplay that hinted along those lines.

Watch the scene near the end when Johnny gets his childhood memories back. We see evidence that he came from a very rich family, and the brief glimpse we get of his mother's face looks a lot like Pharmakom's file photo (I know the ghost woman's name is mentioned, but I don't remember what it is). It's on screen for less than a second and it's at an awkward angle, but it definitely looks like her.

2. Is it really one of the worst films of all time?
