What Dreams May Come

[Atomas]

After Chris Nielsen (Robin Williams) dies in a car crash, a man searches heaven and hell for his beloved wife.

It was released 18 years ago, so some of you might have seen it, but I have to admit that this one was one of those movies I would definitely watch again and probably with my all family.

 

[Divide by Zero]

I liked it a lot.


SPOILER ALERT





The last scene where he is talking to his wife in her own hell touched me a lot. At the time I was going through depression and the resolution still rings clear to me in these trying times in the world:

"Sometimes when you lose, you win."

I didn't like it at all when I saw it a long time ago. Maybe I should watch it again.

I loved this film when it came out. Back then I liked the different take on the perception of heaven and hell compared to the normal narrative. I will aim to watch it again it's a very emotional film if I remember it correctly.

I haven’t seen the movie, but the book it is based on, is extremely good. The author Richard Matheson writes in the introduction:

An introduction to a novel is - almost without exception - unnecessary. This is my tenth published novel and the thought of writing introductions to any of the preceding nine never occurred to me.

For this novel, however, I feel that a brief prologue is called for. Because its subject is survival after death, it is essential that you realize, before reading the story, that only one aspect of it is fictional: the characters and their relationships.

With few exceptions, every other detail is derived exclusively from research.

For that reason, I have added, at the conclusion of the novel, a list of books used for this research. As you will see, they are many and diverse. Yet, despite their wide variation with regard to authors and times and places of publication, there is a persistent, unavoidable uniformity to their content.

You would, of course, have to read them all to prove this to yourself. I urge you to do so. You will find it an enlightening - and extraordinary - experience.

The book could almost be included to the Cass recommended reading list.
