Movie Reviews of What Dreams May Come
Movie Review: You've got to be kidding me!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was reading the online remarks about the movie and landed on one inpaticular I think the persons online name was Iwijaya. Obviously this person has no clue what it takes to really see a movie especially a movie as deeply moving as this one. Deeply moving to someone such as Iwijaya would have to be either a good bowel movement or one of these movies such as Friday. Don't get me wrong I laughed all the way through that movie, but know one said that this movie was suppose to be entertainment for someone that doesn't entertain easy. This was a very deep and compeling movie. If your interested in a movie that you only have to watch briefly while you have other things going on around you than this definetly isn't the movie for you! It is a real heart clencher, and it truely makes you think. So if your someone like Iwijaya who just isn't ready for a movie that, if opened minded, can really make you feel every emotion there is to feel, than I suggest something easy like Daddy Daycare or Finding Nemo something that won't really make you think but will give you a laugh. Maybe this film should have been rated for MATURE addience only!!!!:)Don't mean to cut you down I just can't fathom if you truley watched this movie it could have made you feel this way. I've watched so many movies and have never remarked to any except this one because it was so compelling. I beleive the actors should have won nominees for such outstanding acting. To see the intensity they put through in there characters was nothing short of amazing! Watch it again sometime and not only can you see it in there eyes but you can feel it in there soul, you have to be one fine actor to be able to portray such a tuff and compelling role and actually bring those characters to life!Movie Review: This dream will exaust you and your senses
Summary: 5 Stars
Before I wrote this, I read around a few of the other posted reviews here and at the IMDB,( Internet Movie Database ) and what I read surprised me. There are obvious religious arguements to be made in the absense of "God" in the afterlife, and after death having the abillity to continue to move our fate forward in the afterlife for a better end result. Anyway you slice it this movie will react with the viewer in a powerful way, and it will be different for everyboby. Example, I would feel much different viewing the loss of children perhaps if I wasn't a parent myself, and could agonize with the uncomprehensible loss of a child, for me events like that have impact. The loss of your own life in the middle of busy life events due to a split second tragedy, leaving those behind crazy for your loss...and the guilt you would feel if you could experience what your death did to the lives of the ones you leave behind. This film really is not supposed to be Heaven or Hell, just what momments of your own personal relationships and memories could best describe your own individual " forever " if you could take it all with you. I think Robin Williams and the whole cast is wonderful, viseral and heartbreaking and they will touch you and make you think, the artificial worlds they inhabit are nothing short of breathtaking. this movie is really an examination of the life of a couple and a family and where these lives end up forever when life on earth is done, and ultimately it's a wonderful conclusion. Very highly recomended.Movie Review: Early Afternoon Matinee
Summary: 5 Stars
The dreams that came to me while watching the newfound romance in hell movie What Dreams May Come came to me as a sort of shock. Being of only fourteen years of age now I was only around ten when I first saw this movie on an early afternoon matinee on a local television station while I was left at home alone. My sister being thirteen had a life of her own with her friends and my mother and father were either at work or shopping for supplies for their work. What Dreams May Come gave me a basis of an idea for an afterlife since my parents don't agree on a church to go to, and I hadn't gone since my first communion-me being a catholic from my mother's side of the family. After my mother got home that day I told her about the movie and at first she was a little concerned- it as though she wasn't sure if I should've been exposed to a movie with that kind of content since I was "only a little girl" to put it in her words. Later that night she pulled me out of bed and we had the first real discussion that we had ever had on the subject of death, christ, heaven, hell, and purgatory. It wasn't two weeks later that we rented the movie and had the whole family (with the exception of my Dad for twenty minutes) sit down and watch it together. This is more of a thank you than a review, but thank you.Movie Review: Visual splendor
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful, life-affirming movie about personal tragedy. It's about what it takes in a person to surmount tragedy, to take it in fully, to surmount it, to build more of a life even in the presence of that tragedy, and to continue even in the enveloping fact of death. And yadda yadda yadda.
I like this movie, but all that chick-lit surmounting stuff doesn't do it for me. What does is good visuals, and this movie has never been equalled. Turn off the sound if you want, just drink in this magnificent achievement for the eyes. That first sight of heaven is all about juicy, wet paint. Hell is not just a church inverted, it's a gray place. Red fabric, billowing in the wind carries another message, though I'm not sure what. Blue shirts most often carry a message, too - again, I'm not sure what.
In the larger sense, this movie is about Life (but I disagree with it). It's about Death (and I disagree again), then it's about more life (and I still disagree). Well, that doesn't matter much.
It's OK to like this movie for its tear-jerking side. It's better to like this for the stereotypes that it breaks, or that it uses in unique ways. It's best to sit back and let a unique visual experience open up in front of you.

Movie Review: One Of A Kind
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is like none other. It's more of a work of art than a movie. Like many great works of art, the meaning is often left up to the viewer. What's really important here is how the visual aspect of the film makes you feel. The storyline is secondary, and for good reason. It's hard to follow for one, what with the timeline jumping back and forth. For another, it's a journey into the arena of faith and theology with barely a mention of God. It's basically a hodgepodge of new age/reincarnation belief, psychobabble, and ultraromanticism. I consider the storyline nothing more than a tool to explore the possibilities of modern technology in moviemaking. In this regard this movie excels. An incredibly vivid imagination and adventurist spirit on the part of those who created this movie brought it from a 20 year old script to the finished product - a cinematic impressionist masterpiece. (Much of the artwork was actually taken from the works of Van Gogh and Monet.) This and the additional features provided on the DVD (an excellent mini-documentary on the making of the movie plus a couple of trailers and bios of castmembers and more) give it 5 stars. If you can actually get anything out of the story that's a bonus.
