The world is everywhere in heaven--

When I saw this movie for the first time, I was a primary school student, but vaguely realized that it was a story about heaven and hell. The oil painting scene flashed in my brain for more than ten years, so I have a plot for it.

This is a movie made up of big loves. Although it is much more cliché than I thought, sometimes the more cliché the more sincere and innocent. At least in such a big era, everyone is in it. When trying my best to marginalize myself, I am glad that I can still be moved by many clichés.

I like the setting of heaven in the movie. Everyone has their own heaven. You can become what your own heaven looks like. Just before I searched for this movie, I saw some articles about the subconscious, roughly saying that everything in this world is fake and created by ourselves, and the entire world and the entire universe are only us. In fact, to put it bluntly, it means that our subjective thoughts determine whether something is good or bad. Or this paradise is one's own desire for life.

In fact, in normal life, is it true that when life follows the way we think we live, we live in heaven, and vice versa is hell. In fact, the most critical aspect of this movie is that our consciousness affects our lives. Many things we consider to be good are good. Many times we sink into sorrow, a firm and beautiful consciousness, hell will also become heaven.

So I said that a good movie must release some positive energy, otherwise how do we live in this world ==


PS: 98 years old film, the special effects look completely out of date.

What Dreams May Come quotes

  • Chris Nielsen: Thank you for every kindness. Thank you for our children. For the first time I saw them. Thank you for being someone I was always proud to be with. For your guts, for your sweetness. For how you always looked, for how I always wanted to touch you. God, you were my life. I apologize for everytime I ever failed you. Especially this one...

  • Chris Nielsen: There's a man Ian never got to know, the man he was growing up to be. He's a good-looking clear-eyed fella... about 25. I can see him. He's the type of guy men want to be around, because he has integrity, you know ? He has character. You can't fake that. And he's a guy women want to be around, too. Because there's tenderness in him... respect... and loyalty, and courage. And women respond to that. Makes him a terrific husband, this guy. I see him as a father. That's where he really shines. See, when he looks in his kid's eyes and that kid knows that his dad really, really sees him... he sees who he is. Then that child knows that he is an amazing person. He's quite a guy... that I'll never get to meet. I wish I had.
