Starring Robin Williams and Cuba Gooding Jr. Anybody a fan of this movie? Because my grandmother (who was my mom's mother) died a month and a half ago (at the mere age of 68, from a heart attack) and eversince then, Mom's been going through a bout of "on-again, off-again" distress (and really, who can blame her?; I feel almost as bad for my great-grandmother, who's still living and has had to cope with losing her daughter). She decided to pull out this movie tonight and watch it, most likely because she's in "one of those moods."

Anyway, this movie is so amazing. I've seen it several times, and if you don't feel a thing while watching it, you truly have a heart of stone. It really does make you think about Heaven/Hell and the after-life, and is drenched in gorgeous visuals to boot.

can.I.say: DISASTER????

It was a beautiful movie. I really enjoyed the concept...

When I first watched this film, it did little for me.

Since then, I came out, found the love of my life and now...

It makes perfect sense and I now see what the film was all about.

A beautiful movie.

I adore this movie. I've seen it several times and it always has a profound affect on me. Every time I watch I see something new and there are other things I remembered from previous viewings that I can't find again.

One of my all-time favorites. And the visuals are incredible.

I really liked the movie..it sure makes you think what happens after you die...I love when robin williams was walking/talking underwater & the colours were so vivid...just beautiful.

Im sorry about your grandma...68 is pretty young to die.

Has it just cone out over there?

It makes me bawl like a baby

worse. film. title. ever.

What's weird is, I own this movie (bought it on sale for $2.49 at Circuit City), and have never watched it.

It's on my "one of these days" list.

This movie really fucked me up when I saw it. There was a lot of personal turmoil going on with some very close loved ones that I was living with at the time, and this movie wrecked me.

I've seen it before, it's a good movie. I remember that it was uplifting. I'd like to watch it again soon.

can't believe the ptaise of this movie on this thread.....c'mon people, this movie was absolute shite!!!! Robin Williams was friggin' annoying and so Annabella Sciorra!

you're saying I'm American???

My sweetie and I saw this film together in the theatre (the art direction is even more amazing on the big screen) and just bawled our heads off.

I don't think it's a great movie (apart from the aforementioned artistic aspects). But it's emotionally appealing - especially if you believe in that sort of love.

You do know the title is from Hamlet? "For in that sleep of death what dreams may come / When we have shuffled off this mortal coil."

The film was a bit wordy.

And alot of themes were in it.

But for a love story, it definitely stands out. I liked t.

a bit too emotional for my tastes.


Annabella Sciorra can get it though.

It really puts it out there that there is no such thing as hell, more like the hell you put yourself in that one needs to rescue your own self from

No, I mean all that fake, over the top, mushy shit work on Americans
I know you ain't American, Aksel

FuNkeNsteiN said:

you pretty much described the movie!!!

I thought is was a beautiful concept, highly artistic. Made me think. A wonderful love story. I guess I'm kind of a mushy pushover somethimes.

It's funny though, cause all that stuff seriously works on Americans. I mean, look at the presidential election campaign ads... NO ONE in Finland would vote for anyone who makes ads like those
Same thang with a lot of American reality shows etc
That works really well in America but try that stuff over here...
