What Dreams May Come


What Dreams May Come (1998) is a movie about life after death staring Robin Williams.  Most discussions and representations of life after death in movies is polarized and stereotypical.  In this movie the discussion goes beyond those characterized in the former movies.  The exploration digs deep into what is real and what is not, what is heaven and what is hell, how our actions can also be our realities.  This is Robin Williams at his best.  In this more serious role he covers the emotions of a person that is just beginning to understand what life after death really is.  The cinematography is spectacular and enhances the story line most effectively.  It won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.
