		The cocoon wrapping is then sealed to the turned-over sleeve in the vicinity of the end collars so as to seal the coil within a continuous plastic film.
		The film is stretched prior to or during application and due to its property of "memory", it then seeks to return to its unstretched state.
		Alternatively, a single or several large rectangular pieces of film material may be employed to enshroud the coil to be wrapped and any seams sealed either to themselves or to the plastic collars.

		While this might alarm some, Ben and the boys discover that the pool the cocoons are being temporally stored in has regenerative powers that seem to be reversing the problems associated with aging.
		Above the sci-fi and humor present, “Cocoon” is about age, aging and what it’s like looking at the end of one’s life as well as what it would be like if there were choices that really could be made.
		While there are some lapses of silence (he hasn’t seen the film in its entirety since 1985), he gives a great deal of insight into the production and it’s obvious how much he cherished the cast and time spent with them.

		The cocoon is an egg-shaped plastic cove unit comprised of four translucent white diffusion panels that fasten together with touch fasteners and zippers for quick, fairly easy assembly and take down for storage.
		The cocoon is said to graduate the light intensity which in turn minimizes the "blooming" highlights that often occur when using the even light produced by light boxes.

	Moriel on Film Spectator
		Metz was the first academic film critic to consider film a language, albeit without a langue, or tongue (it sounds best in French -- 'language sans langue' -- and loses much in the translation).
		Section two, Film and Enunciation Revisited, is devoted to the pragmatic use-value of the theories proposed in the first section.
		When the study of film is placed exclusively in the field of linguistics and cognitive psychology it can become mired in esoteric minutiae and die the bureaucratic death of the imagination.

		The film, her second documentary about the incarceration of thousands of Japanese American citizens during and after World War II, traces how discrimination and the humiliation of being imprisoned left her parents torn between two countries.
		Cocoon is one of only a few documentaries made that explores how some imprisoned Japanese Americans—having been stripped of their civil liberties—denounced their citizenship after feeling betrayed by their country.
		Through the making of the film, Ina says she came to understand the sacrifices her parents made while she and her brother were young.

	Film Review: Cocoon
		In short, this is a film that should be a classic, if not for its funny delivery and script, tainted with sadness, but for ILM's genius technology.
		The film focuses on these three, as they discover the wonders of the cocoons.
		Cocoon is one of those films, along with similar classics like Short Circuit and Batteries Not Included, that will always be remembered and watched with a certain degree of affection, despite their aging special effects and heavy emphasis on morality.

		During the opening of the film, Arthur and Jo's witnessing of an unsuccessful resuscitation is a stark reminder of the mortality of the principals, sadly off and on screen.
		Cocoon was a last hurrah for many of the elderly cast (although one or two survived advancing years to appear in the terrible Cocoon II: The Return, 1988).
		Cocoon is a film in which sexual energy is equated closely to an amplified life force and is seen as both positive and welcome.

		Her films hold broadly relevant lessons revealing why dominant groups are compelled to scapegoat others and the lasting psychological effects of institutional racism.
		Ina's first film, Children of the Camps, broadcast on American public television from 1999 to 2003, puts the face of children on this history, exposing the fact that over half of the 120,000 imprisoned Japanese Americans were children, including infants removed from orphanages.
		Satsuki Ina’s father, Itaru, and her mother, Shizuko, were two of the No-No’s demanding consistency from the U.S. government who were transferred to the harsh Tule Lake Segregation Center, the largest and most controversial of all the prison camps, with a peak population of 18,000.

	Cocoon Review I (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-24)
		Cocoon is one of the best offerings to come out of Hollywood in many a year.
		The film boasts a cast of stars of the past who prove that you don't have to give up acting after 60, lead by such old pros as Don Ameche, Wilford Brimly, Hume Cronyn and Maureen Stapleton, as well as such talented "youngsters" as steve Guttenberg and Tahnee Welch.
		The score by James Horner is a fine example of film scoring in the context of the movie.

		Both films were shot flat and the new transfers are matted to 1.85:1, but the level of improvement varys between the discs.
		Much of the film exhibits a mild haze of grain that one must conclude is in the film elements.
		Audio quality is, like 'Cocoon', similar to the previous disc, though I recall the previous transfer contained an audible high frequency hiss that I did not detect in the new transfer.

	Cocoon (1985) Movie Overview ~ Cast and Crew, Trailer, Pictures, Synopsis, Release Date - RopeofSilicon.com
		But as the aliens take on human form and stash their counterparts in a swimming pool, a group of elderly retirees discover the pool and after swimming in the water find themselves rejuvenated, with boundless energy and insatiable appetites.
		Soon the retirees are forced to choose between living out their lives on earth with their families, or leaving with the aliens and attaining immortality.
		More character driven than dependent on the incredible plot, the film's charm comes from its characters and the wonderful cast, including Don Ameche, who won an Academy Award for his role as one of the randy retirees.

		The original Cocoon, directed by Ron Howard, was a charming sci-fi/fantasy that proved age and getting older is just a state of mind.
		The major problem of the film in general, is that, by its very exsistence, it diminishes the first film.
		In this sequel most of the main members of the cast from COCOON return on a visit to their old retirement community in St. Petersburg, Florida after an absence of five years.

		Cocoon 2: The Return, like most sequels, relies a bit too heavily on one's familiarity with the first film.
		Without dwelling too long on Cocoon #1, we can observe that it ended with a group of senior citizens heading for the distant planet of Antarea, hoping to find a new, rewarding and elongated life.
		Cocoon 2 picks up the action five years later: The Antareans return to earth to check on the damage caused to their life-regenerating cocoons by earthquakes.

		For one thing, the entire cast returns (though Dennehy wisely drops by for only a moment to say hello), and they continue to give it their all, as though they were in a better movie than they are.
		There is a serious reconsideration, though, of the choice the characters made at the end of the first film, and the sincerity of their performances is at times quite moving.
		The first disc recycles five fluffy behind-the-scenes featurettes on the making of the first film, Ron Howard’s career, the underwater filming, the cast, and the conceptualization of the alien characters, all made at the time of the film’s original release.
