It is very hard to watch this and not feel embarrassed for both Adrian Finkelstein and Valerie Franich, and their far-fetched claims that they were Paul Bern and Jean Harlow. Imagine being proud of putting your face on TV and pulling this racket! I think it is pretty callous of people to want to appropriate a now dead person's past glory and successes for themselves. Just like with UFOs, I do not believe in past lives or reincarnation; it is a completely silly concept, especially when you're White! It is fine for people from certain countries who have had that ingrained as part of their culture, but for Whites (and others, such as this man) to appropriate another culture's beliefs, I feel it is not okay: their truth is not other's truth, and that is why we were born at opposite portions of the planet.
From my experience, once you are put under hypnosis your subconscious mind will agree with you and if you say "take me back to a past life" your subconscious mind will obey, and will deliver a mind movie for you regardless of veracity. This is one of the reasons why hypnosis can be dangerous. With that said, Valerie and Adrian are both very personable and likable, and they do bear a physical resemblance to their alleged counterparts. Maybe they should have just switched careers and worked as performers, impersonating them in their old age.
However these two people fail to realize that people who believe in a reincarnation believe that if you are a White woman now you could have been a Black male in the past, so, their using facial features and ratios to claim it was them, is completely ridiculous. Also, if you were to reincarnate, you would reincarnate centuries or hundreds of years after the person's death, not a couple of years after. At least that is what I learned back when I explored this particular belief system, and the hypnotherapist himself isn't worth his salt if he doesn't know this. He is so exuberant and so sure of himself that it is very hard not to feel very embarrassed for him, and to want for him to wake up and look at the silliness of the claims he made on TV, and see him hide in shame. In this sense I truly do believe he has been brainwashed self-hypnotized because he really believes his own claims, that much is clear.
But again Valerie is lovely and you feel for her putting herself in such embarrassing position. There's footage of Jean Harlow, which was one of the most funny, likable and interesting actresses of her era, so watch it for that, maybe. The first story for me was completely boring, as I said, I know that space aliens are fake and UFOs are nothing but space debris and/or government technology. This is a good series but this was one of the worst episodes for me. Oh and PS: Valerie? Honey, if reincarnation did exist, why couldn't you just be a regular person? You know, a regular loser who struggled through her miserable life the first time around? Or maybe you were just an extra at the studio? LOL! At any rate this is just a case of a fan being told that she look like the older version of Sheena Harlow and trying to and wishing she would have been her the end.
