The intolerant Archibald Beechcroft (Shelley Berman) is a misanthropic clerk of the Central Park Insurance Co. that hates everybody. When a colleague gives a book about the power of the mind to him, Archibald reads the magic book and decides to wipe out the human race. However, he feels lonely and uses his ability to make the entire population of his city his perfect clone, discovering how hateful the world would be.
"The Mind and the Matter" discloses a character full of prejudices that can not handle with differences of human beings. His hatred associated to his achieved power makes everybody identical to him, and he discovers that the world has worsened. Unfortunately this great idea, which is updated with the world of intolerance of 2009, is wasted with a weak conclusion. My vote is seven.
