A whole family is heaven

Hello everyone, I am Zhang Dahu, an old friend of the Chinese people.


Chris, played by Robin Williams , has an enviable family.

He has a loving wife and a pair of children. Life is boundless.

But there are unforeseen circumstances, and a car accident kills both women.

The originally happy family of four turned into two sad souls.

Four years later, the husband and wife have come out of the haze and started a new life.

But tragedy struck again.

Chris also died unexpectedly.

In the family of four, only his wife, Annie, lives alone.

The soul of Chris after death came to heaven.

He meets the "Guardian Angel" Albert, played by Cuba Gooding Jr., in heaven .

With Albert's help, Chris adjusts to life in heaven and reunites with his daughter.

Although Chris's dream came true in heaven, he couldn't worry about his wife Annie.

Annie, who was left alone in the world, experienced the pain of losing her child and just lost her beloved husband. Heartbroken, I wash my face with tears every day.

Finally, unable to bear the grief, he committed suicide.

When Chris heard the news of Annie's suicide, he thought that the family of four would finally be reunited in heaven. But Albert told him that Anne could not come to heaven. If she committed suicide, she could only go to hell.

And Chris couldn't accept that his beloved suffers in hell, and resolutely ran to hell to save his wife Annie.

Along the way, Chris crossed three thousand weak waters, crossed the Naihe Bridge, and walked across the Huangquan Road.

Overcome your inner demons and keep your sanity. Finally met his wife Anne.

Chris touched his wife with love and made her remember him.

The family of four was finally reunited.

The whole movie is very beautiful and colorful. It also won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects that year.

All kinds of human beauty, blue fallen leaves are very beautiful.

Where Chris and Anne met, in Glacier National Park, Montana. It is a combination of real scenes and computer effects.

The section where Chris jumped from the waterfall was filmed at Angel Falls, the highest waterfall in the world in Venezuela.

The stuntman jumped from the top of the waterfall and fell for 22 seconds.

This set of shots was also shot 22 times.

Of course, the most worth mentioning is the depiction of heaven in "Dream Come True".

The paradise of the hero Chris is actually an oil painting.

People walk in oil paintings, and the use of color is amazing.

To bring out the vibrant colors of the oil paintings, the clips used special Fuji Velvia film film , which is often used in still photography. Able to restore color saturation very high.

The film's portrayal of "hell" is equally impressive. Unlike the colorful world of heaven, hell is dominated by black and red.

The red entrance to hell, full of flames.

The black sea of ​​hell, full of fallen souls, swayed the boat that Chris was in.

What impressed me most was the avenue of hell composed of countless faces. Very scary infiltrating.

Very unfriendly to people with intensive phobia.

But the plot of the film is very mediocre compared to the visual of the film.

The vulgar point is the "main melody". Love can save everything.

From earth to heaven to hell,

It is also the redemption journey of the hero Chris. Not only saved Annie who fell into hell, but also saved herself.

He betrayed his children and only remembered his wife Annie, while forgetting his own children. He didn't recognize his son until he entered hell.

Although the meaning expressed in the whole film is very simple and straightforward, it is the truth of life.

A whole family is heaven.

    The concept of the story is very good. The description of heaven and hell is just like in the comedy on earth, and the special effects are done like a Renaissance oil painting. But the plot is too complicated and long-winded, it made me sleepy, and the soundtrack is not very good
