Dolphin “Jones” is the true hero of the Keanu Reeves film “Johnny Neumonic,” despite being locked in an aquarium so small he could never turn around and tethered by an electronic intrusion into his brain and senses, still he saves humanity. It is the damaged and trod upon among us that can bring forth the consciousness and witness to inhumanity that will make change. Be fearless. Be like Jones. Heroic because of and in spite of the trauma.
