What Dreams May Come

I absolutely love this movie!! Some people criticized it and badmouthed it but I don’t see how this could be a bad movie, really!! It is so satisfying and fulfilling, may be that only happy people get it.

An all-star cast, with some of the most beautiful cinematography. A wonderful love story and my personal favorite Robin Williams performance.

Excellent movie.

Hello,This is interesting material to contemplate and generally Lee Stroble as usual tried to present enough evidence for the supernatural in relation to Christian faith.On issue however in this movie: "The Case for Haven" could be corrected in my view which is that conversation with the musician that somehow may confuse some indecisive viewers. Therefore, it is missing one important thing to explain to them. In other words, musician’s concept of faith in Christian God is totally incomplete. He said there that the concept of God hiding from us in Christian theology and then God sending you to hell if you disbelieve in Him would be a big disagreement in his view. That is however a huge simplification in his believe system and complete misunderstanding. First of all, our Gospel tell us that (quote): "For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of ALL people, ESPECIALLY of those who believe". (1 Timothy 4, 10) This means that:1. First of all, believing in Christian God doesn't just mean that God exists since even fallen angels believe that God exists, actually they even know that God exists, but they are still in hell. True believing means that you live your life the way Jesus introduced Himself when saying (quote): “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”, which means you have to live your life according to those values He proclaimed and accompanied by love, but if you really don't - only then you face separation from God which is possible hell (a self inflicted punishment and torment because of separation) since God doesn’t force anyone to relationship with Him and to unity with His nature. Logically saying, opposite of that would be haven in the unity with God, with God’s nature represented by LOVE. This, in any case, happens by our own by our own choice as for free will creatures. God is light, and as He said in the Scriptures, He created us in His image. Even Einstein confirmed this by pointing out that (quote): "Matter is energy, energy is light. We are all light beings." So, no wonder God wants us to join Him.And only this behavior derived from LOVE is the TRUE faith for anyone, even for the unbeliever by which God will judge us! The content of your heart, your soul. So, that musician definitely greatly simplified it for himself creating some kind of logical nonsense out of it which prevented him from believing, and thinking that bilions of other Christian believers, many highly educated ones, are just plain stupid. So, who is then?2. Second, God does not hide from us at all. He is all around us in His deeds That is why He said in Romans 1, 20 (quote): "For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature."Also, God already revealed Himself to us in Christ, and hence in Psalm 14, 1 He said (quote): "The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."Should God uncover Himself to us completely there would be only "salvation" through fear and not an honest, not effective one, but earthly life on the other hand needs to be a true trial and something like a real sieve testing your soul. And this of course is right, brilliant and true plan which really makes sense in logical terms.Thank you.

if you love Robin Williams this is one of his greatest definitely tear jerker

'For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come,When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,Must give us pause. 'Named after a line in a poem in which Hamlet contemplates death and suicide,'What Dreams May come' follows Chris Nielsen (Robin Williams), an individual that is recently deceased and attempting desperately to reconnect with his mortal wife, Annie (Annabella Sciorra). After his wife commits suicide, Chris begins a journey in the afterlife in an attempt to reconnect with her despite the odds being against him.Considering the subject matter being mature, this film is one I would consider to be kid-friendly; the death scenes are brief and/or alluded to, and there's no scenes that are particularly graphic or distressing. The dialogue and vocabulary used in the film is down -to-earth, and is used in such a way that both adults and children can understand and relate to. For that alone this gets at least a 3-star rating.This film was nominated for an award for best art direction, so knowing this my expectations going in to this as far as visual appeal were high to begin with. It goes without saying that these were exceeded, as the cinematography is exceptional - the colors (in both presence, and absence at times) had an intentional variety to them, and there were even some scenes where the /texture/ of some substances were clear. This movie is in one word: stunning.My only complaint (without giving too much away) i s that we are told in the film that hell is a place that pain is present, but that's not all it is - the problem however, is that when Chris travels to hell, we aren't given much as an audience evidence (at least, visually) to suggest that. This doesn't take much away from the film, and I'm happy to say that this movie doesn't stray much from the book it is based off of - so this is really just me being nitpicky. I just think a little bit of complexity in this area would have been appreciated, and I'm sure another audience member out there might agree with me.At the end of the day, this isn't just a movie about death; like the novel, it's meant to inspire some hope about the afterlife, which is in some ways an inevitable destination for every single living being. The emotions are intense (and, they mirror reality) but they do what they are meant to do - and that's make us a little less fearful about dying when it is our time to do so.As always,rest in peace to the beautiful actor that was Robin Williams.I would recommend.
