Synopsis
After Chris Nielsen (Robin Williams) dies in a car accident, he is guided through the afterlife by his spirit guide, Albert (Cuba Gooding Jr.). His new world is beautiful and can be whatever Chris imagines. Even his children are there. But, when his wife, Annie (Annabella Sciorra), commits suicide and is sent to hell, Chris ignores Albert's warnings and journeys there to save her. Upon arrival, Chris finds that rescuing Annie will be more difficult than he'd imagined.

This is from a very old way of thinking. This movie is based on a book I read when I was in my teens. I’m almost 60. When I was 15 my dad died after a long, really awful battle with cancer. My mom started drinking heavily everyday, to the point that she was basically useless to my siblings and me. I was the oldest daughter so a lot fell on my shoulders. It was like losing both parents at once. I came extremely close to making the same choice that Annie made in this movie. I had a couple of failed attempts. I read this book, and the book goes into so much more detail about what it’s like for someone who dies at their own hand. They don’t know they have died, they stay in their terrible lives, but a much worse version of it. Everything goes wrong, all the time. I can honestly say that this book saved my life at that time. Fear of existing in even more pain, in a more horrific life stopped me from doing something really stupid. This movie and book will always hold a special place in my heart. And the book is very different, and much better, than the movie.
wow. I'm so sorry you went through that. All that trauma and responsibility has such a young age. I'm happy you persevered and you are here today🧡🧡
@@FrankFreezy_ thanks! 😊. Now I’ve got two great kids and 5 beautiful grandbabies! I would have hated for the world to miss out on them. ❤️
Unfortunately it’s not really an old way of thinking. I mean it is of course, but this is based on religious views of ending your life that are still extremely prominent today. When my brother passed from an overdose, my dad's church believed it was on purpose even though we know it wasn’t, and they made sure to announce to the entire congregation that my brother wasn’t going to heaven and used my brother's passing as a “lesson”. I was long gone from the church/religion for over a decade at that point but that was the day my father left the church as well. This is sadly still a very prominent view in Christianity today.
@@mausilw that’s absolutely terrible!! I’m so sorry for the loss of your brother and the insensitive and inexcusable way it was handled by the clergy at that church. Yes within most religions suicide is still considered a heinous sin, I think with more people walking away from religion the general public’s mindset and the mental health profession have a different and much more compassionate perspective about it.
I’m so sorry you had to deal with this. You sound like a very strong individual and I wish you nothing but easier roads ahead. I love this movie for many reasons. If you relate to the themes of this movie I might suggest a dark comedy of the name Wristcutters. It’s a dark romantic comedy that takes place in a “purgatory” of sorts and two individuals who left the world of their own accord navigate this weird world to find each other. If those themes aren’t hurtful to you then I would definitely suggest a watch. Again, I’m sorry that you had to deal with all that trauma. Sending you good vibes and sunshine for days ahead.
This one can really tear your guts out, but still manage to give you hope. It's equal parts beautiful and terrifying.
Couldn't have said it better
When I was a child and people spoke about heaven, it was always described as this clean space, without fear or need for food or emotion and I always imagined it as a big white void. I hated the thought of heaven.
Then I saw this movie and it’s what I wanted to believe heaven is. A place where we still have passion and we still have imperfection but it’s what we love. And I love the idea of being able to go to other people’s heavens.
The problem with that idea is that I also want to believe that even “evil people” go to heaven because, in my mind, evil is a broken brain, not a broken soul. So if someone truly bad dies, what part of themselves would they retain?
Also, I’m not religious, so everything I’m saying is a reflection of my wants, not my faith.
I find it adorable and and so brave that a child version of yourself hated the thought of Heaven because it was too perfect and too clean haha
I love how you described it. Imperfection but it's what we love.
I think that's a very beautiful perspective on evil people not having a broken soul
Not enough reactors watch this movie. It's incredible!
Unfortunately it's because the movie is not very popular, therefore reactors don't choose it because it's usually won't get a lot of views. But I agree with you it is very incredible and I'm happy I watched it
With history this movie and book , while not exactly synchronized, seems to have stood the test of time….. indeed, some of these commentary videos are within the last 6 years
The movie title is a quote from Hamlet, where he is considering un-aliving himself. He debates whether to face the pain of living or to "sleep" but then "what dreams may come"? He doesn't know whether the punishment of un-aliving himself will be worse then the pain he feels in life. I'm assuming that this movie had to deal with these themes because it's an exploration of the "what comes after" concept. So yes, the themes around unaliving in this movie are hundreds of years old.
I appreciate anyone who reacts to What Dreams May Come! Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Many thanks to you for watching
One of my favorites. I watched this alone in an empty theater back in 98, and cried my eyes out. RIP Robin, you are missed.
Alone in the theater? That must have been quite the experience.
This is a wonderful film. Its absence in the reaction video circuit is a mystery. Sure, it's a tearjerker, but so are many other films, and many Robin Williams films are tearjerkers.
The visuals in this film are magnificent. A true work of art! 👍👍
Totally agree
Thanks for watching with me.
I'm not sure how this movie will perform on RUclips because it's not very popular with reactions.. so please remember to "LIKE" the video if you liked the video and share your thoughts in the comments. It really helps with the RUclips algorithm Thanks
Don’t worry about performance.
I’m more likely to watch a reaction to a film that isn’t usually done than if I’ve seen it from dozens of other reactors
I think the thought behind her going where she did was that those who choose to end things are weighed down by a lot of despair, hopelessness, and sadness. It’s a lot of weight on the soul and we can end up in lower vibrations or states.
Kind of like The Asphodel Meadows or Elysian Fields in Greek mythology
I have a lot of thoughts on this movie and subject and topic so if you ever wanna discuss!
I hear you. That makes sense. Just seems a bit unfair
@@ImmabeWendy absolutely. I would love to hear😊😊
My mom was sick for a very long time, before she passed we had a conversation about the afterlife and what we thought of it. She told me she would set off a fire alarm in her house and i would know she was okay. I had just finished packing up all of her belongings and was standing alone in her bedroom when the fire alarm went off in the hall and i knew she was fine, she gave me that gift and I felt peace and happiness for her. Ill see her again someday
Oh my God. I'm glad you and your mom had that experience. It's beautiful
Movie is so under appreciated and I’m so glad you reacted to it!!
Thank you. I had to. My subscribers always recommended and I trust their recommendations
As someone who has suffered from depression and mental illness all their life, to me its not that some greater all knowing god condemning her to hell... her mental state did. She's so caught up in this all enveloping darkness that she cant escape.. not on her own. Christy, the light of her life, shows her how to find that light within herself and thus she breaks free from her own private hell. Its not a condemnation of the act, its an imposed prison by the state of her mind. This movie... this impression, has kept me alive on nights when it all feels too dark. What a lot of people dont know is suicide is a sneaky force that lays in wait under all your thoughts. When the tiniest thing goes wrong it peeps up "hey. Ya know you dont have to live like this... you could just end it" and every other part of your brain smacks it down but the thought was still heard, quietly in the background. So imagine Annie, with so many things going so very wrong, she doesnt have many other healthy thoughts to batter that quiet whisper to the far reaches. How weighty that must be.
Indeed, in the book , non of her 4 children die, the film , her 2 children are killed…. The film “ANNA” is more sympathetic than the book “ANNA”…. Both good works though….
I hope the video does well, you're a good kind person who deserves it
Many thanks😊😊
"Bella" means "beautiful."
That is so appropriate🧡
This is a powerful movie. Thank you for reacting to it. It is probably my favorite Robin Williams movie.
Powerful indeed. Robin poured his heart and soul into this movie and it shows. Thanks for watching
I agree. However, The World According to Garp ranks right up there at the top for me.
It goes both ways. Thats why we cannot mourn our loved ones forever. We need to move on as well so they can move as well.
I like that perspective
Transforming tragedy into beauty is a favorite theme of mine and this movie does a wonderful job. Everything in this movie is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing with us friend 🙏
I like that perspective you mentioned. Tragedy into Beauty. And you're very very welcome I'm happy to share. Thanks for watching
Thank you sooo much for watching this! I LOVE this movie! So intriguing! And Robin Williams was PRICELESS in it!
You're very very welcome. I'm glad I did. He was amazing
I saw this in theatre when I was 15 and it was the first time I really bawled during a movie.
I can't even imagine taking this movie in as a 15-year-old. It would be so overwhelming. I'm glad you had that experience
I love this movie, glad you're getting to see it. Very brief, but for Frank's sake and others who have lost loved ones to sui_ide...In 2011 I died a motorbike crash. Never belived in a God, still don't, so didn't need to see anything reasuring or any preconcieved safety net. I conversed with a ball of light. I have tried to tell so many, I no longer do. All this is to say I can promise on all that I love and hold dear, there is no hell or damnation for those that take their own L1ves, only limitless love and compassion, limitless. We come here to learn and grow, as many times as you want.
Gracias. It's so deep
Thanks for sharing with us friend🧡🧡
Yes you can feel the spritis of the deceased and can interact with them.
That is honestly very believable, maybe scary too
Robin Williams could have done a movie based entirely on outhouses and I would have been one of the first in line. Thanks for stepping off the trails already blazed. It makes for some beautiful scenery many never see. ♥
. I'm glad I did. Thanks for watching
This is, hands down, my favorite Robin Williams film and it is in my top three favorite movies.
I am so glad to see more people discovering and being moved by it.
This is such a beautiful movie - and as an ex-catholic - I choose to believe - heaven is what you make of it - like this movie... And, the guy you thought was in Harry Potter - No, Max von Sydow was, Father Merrin in the Exorcist, the 3 eyed raven in Game of thrones and Ming the merciless in Flash Gordon... There are more movies to his credit but, for many - these are the 3 things they've seen him in...
I like that. Heaven is what you make of it. OMG Yes he was the three-eyed Raven from Game of Thrones
THANK YOU so much for reacting to this. I watched this for the first time last year when my dog died after being hit by a car. I basically cried the entire movie.
Oh my goodness I'm so sorry about your dog. They all go to heaven
And thanks for watching
Thank you for watching this one, I really love it and always cry. I appreciate you giving something a chance, just cause it doesn't have a lot of people reacting to it, doesn't mean it's not great. :)
Thank you. It's a great film that deserves more attention for sure
So intense. I first saw this film as a teen and it made a massive impression. I think what's represented is not so much an outdated perspective on suicide but a traditional/Christian one that very much still exists and informs dominant discourse around the subject. It's still most common to say "committed suicide" as if it's a crime right. Learning about using "died by suicide" instead was an impactful shift for me. It's still incredibly rare to be able to talk about suicidality without risk of alienation and institutionalization.
My most constant companions through most of the last 20yrs were my dog and 2 cats. They all died in the last few years. I've been fascinated by all the ways they continue to manifest. The other day I woke up and felt the duvet indent next to me as if under my one cat's weight. I reached out to pet air. It was strangely comforting. I catch characteristic movement in the corner of my eye sometimes and hear characteristic sounds. I find it more likely that it's all in my head: that I'm manifesting them. But who knows, some kind of energy could also remain. Fascinating either way.
Beautiful reaction Frank. I always appreciate your candor (or frankness lol) and sensitivity ❤
I hear you. I didn't want to get into the traditional/Christian believes that fuel that way of thinking cuz I don't want religious people coming at me with pitchforks in the comment section. But yes similar to the topic of divorce and how so many people remain in toxic harmful relationships because divorce is considered a sin.
I'm sorry to hear about your babies who are no longer here. For what is worth I do believe that some energy or soul of them still lingers because of how much they love you. Thanks for sharing that. That sounds comforting indeed. My wife has all but convinced me that it actually exists and we often talk about ghosts in our apartment casually.
Thank you very much. Regardless of how anything on this channel is going I always know that my frankness will be appreciated by you guys.
🧡😁
@@FrankFreezy_ So cool about your wife and you! I think it's a good approach, casual acknowledgment. Between dead pet energies and OCD intrusive thoughts I've got a lot manifesting around me at any given moment and being calm and accepting about it is the way forward for sure
@@melskmelsk haha yap. It's just another Tuesday. have you considered getting more pets/companions?
@@melskmelskOh wow, I relate to all of that ❤
@@FrankFreezy_ for now I'm in a 'they're gone, there are no others for me' headspace but I'm sure that will shift in time
It's considered a sin in many religions, to take one's own life. In those religions, souls go to purgatory, hell, etc. It's not a new concept. In today's society, we approach the subject with much more understanding and offer help to those who need/deserve it.
I really enjoyed your commentary! ❤❤ Great reaction ❤❤
I saw this movie when I was a kid and never knew the name of the movie, but it has stuck with me since. The thumbnail instantly was recognizable
I think people get the idea of hell in this movie very wrong.
The figure of Chris' son in the body of 'doc' already explained it - it's the realization about what went wrong in life. It's a mental state, not really a place. Annie is punishing herself, she isn't being punished by some entity like the devil or something.
I’m so happy you reacted to this 🎉☺️
Appreciate you. It was about damn time lol
This movie is amazing ❤ thank you much for reacting to it!! It’s one of my favorites
It was about time I watched it. You're very welcome.
The actor you were wondering about didn't play Dumbledore. Depending on the film, that was Richard Harris or Michael Gambon. This actor was Max von Sydow, who has had probably the most unpredictable career in history over its span of 72 years. He's been in high art cinema directed by Ingmar Bergman, high fantasy like Conan the Barbarian, sci-fi like The Black Hole and Flash Gordon, and movies that just expect you to sit down and have a good laugh, like Strange Brew. But every role, you can see that he approached it with utter commitment and professionalism. It's worth skimming his filmography for ideas for reactions.
Thanks for asking my lingering question. And yes I will give him a work
I am so sorry for your losses. You handled this movie beautifully. ❤
Been recommended this movie so many time based on my tastes but I've always avoided it for some reason. Anxious to see what I've been missing. Commenting for algorithm :)
I'm glad you gave it a shot. I'm curious to hear your thoughts about it. Thanks for watching
@@FrankFreezy_ I think it was visually stunning but I gotta be honest I was struggling quite a bit with almost everything else. Just emotionally. I have had a very suicide-adjacent life and recently dealing with some love chaos. This was a melancholy watch-along.
@@kneelread damn so sorry about that. It makes sense why you avoided watching the movie. Sending you some good energy
🧡🧡
I love this movie but I can't watch it too often because It makes me cry so much. I was raised in a christian household and we were always taught that if you killed yourself you went to hell, same as with any other really bad sin, so I imagine that's where the idea originates from. I don't believe in any of that anymore, and I'd love to be able to reunite with my loved ones on the other side.
I also feel so much love for Robin Williams, and I wish he had been healthy enough to stick around for longer. He always seemed like he felt so deeply.
I'm glad you don't believe in that anymore. I don't as well. Some of it is just very cruel. Reuniting with our loved ones on the other side sounds amazing.
I wish I had known Robin Williams before he passed. But from the few movies of his that I've seen, what a beautiful man
I could never take the greatest gift I have ever been given, (my life) and just throw it back in His face.
I don't believe in anything beyond, but this is still one of my favorite movies. It's beautiful.
It really is beautiful
Yea man movie is just a rescue movie with a happy ending. Great reaction.
This movie is a heart wrenching masterpiece. ❤ Rest easy, Robin. 💐
I am always surprised that more reactors don't watch this movie. Especially those moved by Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting. Thank you for doing this!
This movie its one of my favorites, so heartbreaking. The visuals (for the time) are insane.
I think it's a religious belief that people who take their own life don't go to heaven, specifically Catholicism. It's considered a sin, an affront to God, some people believe that those who take that path don't get into Gods kingdom.
Super harsh imo but the main couple in the movie are religious so their afterlife is reflecting their beliefs.
Super harsh indeed. And I like that perspective. They're afterlife is reflecting their beliefs. So freaking sad. They had a happy ending but all the people that didn't have someone to literally fight through hell to save them, What Becomes of them? S*** is heartbreaking. Thanks for elaborating
Thank you for posting this! I was going to post something like this if no one else had. It makes me angry that this particular belief is so very deeply embedded in our society. Whew. I have lots of opinions on this stuff since I've worked with Healthcare and Hospice folks. And I'm getting all worked up about it so I shall wander off for the night.
Thank you again.
It's been a while since I've seen this movie, so I might be off with some of the nuances. But I felt like this movie wasn't trying to say that people who ended their own life deserved their awful afterlife. But that in the movie's world, people's subconscious and conscious both manifest their afterlife. So their take on "hell" would be someone who's inner world is so sad and damaged that when they pass, they unfortunately give power to that pain they felt at the end of their life and manifest it as their afterlife.
Like if someone took their own life because they felt like they deserved it, then sadly they'd be stuck manifesting a world that brought that mindset into reality.
With the rules the movie describes about the afterlife, I think it is unimaginably tragic, but that it kind of makes sense. Like a showing of the dark underbelly of the human imagination and the dark things we can make ourselves live with.
Thank you for reacting to this classic
You're very welcome💜💜
I love this movie. It is hard, but it is also beautiful. So very worth watching.
I agree with you, it is backwards to send someone to hell for taking their own life. I don't know if I believe in a heaven or hell, but I sure hope those who suffered so much in life are not subjected to more suffering in the after-life.
Exactly. It just feels so Cruel
Authoritarian religions condemn those for taking their own lives, as they are defying the power hierarchy.
According to such authoritarian doctrines, people are not free to do as they please, especially when it comes to life, death, sex, etc. When you take power over your own life, the people in Power lose that power over you, and that is why they condemn you.
Dead poet society is great. What dreams may come is wonderful. Patch Adams is an amazing film and based on a true story.
Such a beautiful movie that touches me every time I see it.
😊😊🧡🧡
It's not that they are being punished for committing suicide, the point is that they can't stop punishing themselves. That's what makes it so tragic. They can't accept heaven because they are so busy hating themselves.
One of my favourite Robin Williams films...
To respond to your concerns about the outdated views on what happens to those who do THAT to themselves, sadly that’s traditional doctrine in some faiths. The sea of faces is one of the things described in Dante’s Inferno, though I don’t think it’s actual canon. I know I don’t believe in that part of doctrine - partly because of selfish reasons (I have had thoughts like that before), but also because I believe in a God of mercy who doesn’t punish people for their illnesses. That’s just my take, but I thought I’d share. Thank you for being so vulnerable with us.
Thanks for sharing. I guess there are just some things from religion that I choose to believe in and others that don't just work for me. like you said why would God punish people who are suffering or had no hand in their demise.
I regret never having to say thank you to Robin Williams. This movie helped me get over the death of my mother.
In a way we dont fully understand, I believe your sister and father are together, like my brother and father. I hope youre having a wonderful night my friend
Glad someone decided to react to this movie thank you
Robins body of work over his last 25 years include, several films with a certain tragic moment
Very true from the few I've seen
Something can't really be unfair if we do it to ourselves. In this universe which is based on religious dogma as much as it tries to stay away from it, they say when a human soul gets to that point they can't stop folding in on themselves. So I see what you are saying but it is a valid way of thinking about it. I say it as someone who nearly succeeded like Annie. Also, can't really say it's outdated but that it's a biblical view.
I always liked the concept, from the Sandman comics (spoilers if you haven’t read it)
But people go to hell because they think that’s where they belong. They aren’t being held there against their will, they’re punishing themselves because they think they deserve it. Wild concept. Especially if you find out you don’t have to stay there.
I remember i recomend this one for you long time ago. I am glad You watched it, it doesnt disapoint i hope. This is beautiful movie, now I also recomend "I am Sam" (different but worth watching).
Thanks for reacting to this Noone does and it's one of my favorites 😂😢😂
Thanks for your generosity💜 glad I saw it
Thank you for reacting to this movie.
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching
Thank you for reacting to this film!
Thanks for this! You are the first reactor that i follow to watch this one. It’s one of my favorites, and dont know why more people dont know about it. 👍🏻 In regards to a lot of the comments criticizing religious views of suicide. I would push back and say that this movie is an artistic, creative, and narrow interpretation of death, grief, and the afterlife to serve the narrative and purpose that the author was exploring in the story. An actual Christian view on this topic is much deeper, and requires further investigation and actually may be a little closer to how the story eventually ends. There are plenty of bad actors in Christianity who misinterpret and teach nonsense, dont let them mislead you from learning the true nature of the faith. And dont let the details on this topic in the movie keep you from enjoying how incredibly beautiful this movie is. Thanks again for a great reaction to one of my favorites 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing my friend. I hear where you were coming from and for sharing your thoughts
Annie is in her own grief and guilt and anger for her life in the earthly world..how it turned out. She hardened her heart to everything and fell to darkness. Of course what happened to her affected her psyche in a way she couldn't recover from..she lost her faith in life..and she didn't seek purpose in her grief to keep her going, knowing that our earthly lives are just a temporary passing through of our eternal souls in heaven - as depicted in the movie. The afterlife is what we have to have faith in, no matter what earthly, physical and emotional pain we are going through. So many say they feel so much pain they had no choice but to desperately end their earthly pain..because as we see as an example in this movie. The afterlife has no pain, naturally speaking, both kids and Robin Williams were physically hurt (in the physical world) but once their souls hit their heaven, zero pain in heaven.
Annie didn't believe anything could take away her physical and emotional world pain, but if you believe in the afterlife, ending your life wouldn't cross your mind..Life on earth is purposeful each and everyone's life. No matter how you need to get through emotions of grief and sadness, you have to make peace and find purpose in your own life's purpose..your family will see you again in the afterlives ..if you believe. Idk, just thoughts that came to mind after watching this movie. Thank you for the reaction:)
Actually, not exactly, the film, not the book, ALBERT, who CHRIS already knows is IAN, restrains him from entering that firery chamber….. “Ian your mother is not in there”
This is my second favorite film of all time, and my favorite Robyn Williams performance - thanks for showing love
I think the bigger picture is that not all souls are lost and condemned to hell and that the spirit can find a way to be free suicide was just the way they chose to convey the message because most people today still believe suicide is a gateway to hell.
When this came out I had only seen Robin Williams in comedies and it hit different.
It isn't a movie to watch lightly. I've only watched it a couple times and each time it really makes you think.
In your question on the paranormal, I did have an experience which I saw something, it's hard to explain what happened, but was like a white translucent being.
It's already great to see that actors have way more depth than we thought initially.
That's so interesting. Paranormal stuff is definitely real
If I remember correctly, this movie flopped or at least critics didn't like it, but Robin is so fantastic in it.
About the "deleting yourself" topic: I wanted to do it (childhood trauma but I am more like a "planner", not a "doer" lol) and even though I don't believe in the afterlife and ghosts and stuff, I understand why ending yourself considered as a sin.
Those people who got into heaven in this movie lived through the life they were meant to live, but if you "cut short" your life that wouldn't be... fair to others, maybe?
I am so grateful that you watched it!
I'm grateful that you were just a planner, not a doer. I'm happy you're still here.
I think the conversation around suicide is so nuanced. Because there are people out there who cut it short because they were mentally ill, blackmailed, abused, literally had no other choice, etc etc etc.. So having them be punished for that does not seem fair in any way shape or form. Nobody ends their lives just because they felt like it on a Tuesday. They're probably going to the hardest shit possible.
And the whole idea of calling suicide a sin always seemed like a fear-mongering tactic to me. In the same way some Christians use the damnation of hell to scare people to ascribe to their Doctrine
@@FrankFreezy_ If I remember correctly, the Bible were changed many times during its history, in the middle ages the Catholic Church changed it just to be able to gain more control over people, so it isn't really the fault of the Bible or the Christian religion, hell and ending yourself weren't in there, but maybe I am wrong.
Also, back in the days mental health wasn't a thing, people didn't know about depression or trauma, not to this extent at least, so it is hard to understand for "modern people" this way of thinking.
I am not religious, but if I would be, I would go for Christianity. It has the best moral compass in the world (the New Testament, not the Old one tho) and Western society was "built on it" as well.
The Catholic Church is a totally different story tho and its existence is quiet funny considering how Jesus hated "centralized" religious institutions, not to mention the idol worship and the donations during the mass lmao
This movie shattered me to pieces😢
Yep. That sounds about right. Heartbreaking
I love the way you react. Both with the heart and the head. This is definitely both a gut punch and a think piece and you grasped both very well.
Much love. These stories deserve all our respect and attention
Have you seen Hook? A really fun Robin Williams movie. I also totally agree regarding the different places for different types of "endings." It is very judgmental and unnecessary and shocked me a bit. :/
I have not seen hook. A couple of people have mentioned it to me so far. Judgmental and unnecessary is right
Thanks for reacting to this!
So glad you are reacting to this one!❤❤❤
Same here. Thanks for watching
Thank you Sir so much for watching this movie.
I cried so much the first time I have seen this movie.
I know I will Not be able to watch this movie again without you.
So thank you again Sir.
I Hope that Robin Williams found a wonderful place and maybe it was providence that Robin Williams made this movie.
When a Person dies, there is no heaven or hell, only an individual state of consciousness.
That is what I believe.
Best wishes from Germany 👋..
. You are very welcome. I'm glad you were able to watch the film again with me. I believe it was Providence too that Robin Williams was the one in this film. I like your perspective about the individual state of consciousness. Greetings from the US😊😊
This masterpiece should be much more reacted to and appreciated.
Hopefully this silly lil comment will feed the fickle algorithm.
Always appreciate your takes.
(I'm no longer practicing, but I was raised in a very stern Lutheran family/church/faith that very much promoted the idea that if you take your own life, you are dammed to hell for all eternity. That alone is one of the main reason I don't subscribe to organized religion.)
I hear you on that one. I've always seen it as a fear-mongering tactic to make people "believe" and stay in line, and not sin. Same thing with people staying in abusive relationships because the church considers divorces a sin. Wild
Thanks for sharing :)
@@FrankFreezy_ absolutely agree
@@marshallsobin4879 I'm confused about the context of your reply. It doesn't seem to be in response to my comment.
@@marshallsobin4879 not sure why you're so aggressive. We don't seem to be talking about the same things at all and I don't wish to get escalated on the internet with people I don't know.
Hope you enjoy your week.
This movie is super underrated
onee of my favorites!!!
I love you reacted to this movie. Totally underrated. It’s an artistic interpretation of what may happen after death. The visuals of this film I have never seen since. I have seen this film many many times. And it gets me every time. The idea of soul mates intrigues me. It’s a beautiful love story. My good lady and I have watched your reaction tonight and we have both been in tears. I have seen your Ted Lasso reactions (which I love) but this is a movie you need to watch maybe before you make a judgment. Remember the darts scene in TL in season 1 episode 8 - be curious not judgmental.
p.s. you should watch ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ is worth a watch. My number one movie of all time.
i love your art and i'm so excited to receive the print i ordered soon!!! I ordered "LOVE." Gorgeous!
Thank you thank you so much. I'm glad it got to you safe and it now has a home with you🧡🧡
sorry about your sister and dad. Hugs to you
yaaaaay ive been hoping you would watch this one for a long time 🫶💚
I finally did. I hope you enjoyed the video
In the spiritual world (the one the believes in an eternal soul and reincarnation etc) there's the belief that when people die from suicide, they sometimes go to a temporary hell. Not for some cosmic punishment, but because they create a World of hell themselves because they believe their life was a failure, or that they only brought pain etc. But that they come out of this "World" once they serve the punishment they believe they deserve, often their guides or other loved ones who have passed bring them out of it.
Missed one at 51:27
I kind of like how they addressed suicide. Yes it is a big deal and your soul is struggling with things that are holding you back. But there is a way through if you manage to fight through it. But I guess most do not.
Think of the suicides that don't have the most loving family ever waiting for them in heaven. How long would it take to let go of their pain and hurt when there's no one looking forward to seeing on the other side.
Wonderful reaction to this movie. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
One of my favorite movies. I loved the painting portion. It reminded me of a similar scene in Hook.
Also, I'm a medium and yes, we can feel the deceased, receive images and impressions. It's freaky, so I don't do it often.
Also, regarding the s*cide portion, it's not really related to Christianity at all. Im assuming that's what you mean by outdated. Earlier in the film, Chris guide says that your afterlife is how you create it. Annie passed in turmoil, full of anger, guilt, grief and sadness, so that's the reality she created for herself even after death.
These concepts predate major religions by thousands of years. The ancient Greek version of the afterlife is even scarier.
Anyway, I don't know how far you want me to go into the comment, but the "everything is love and light" thought process is wishful thinking.
Eta: you probably recognize the old man from Shutter Island and maybe The Exorcist if you've seen it before
Keep doin Robin reacts!! Patch Adams next!
I won’t deny it is a moralized view of the afterlife and has judeo Christian undertones, but not in the way you mention. At least that’s not what I see.
I don’t think that “hell” is about punishment for Annie’s actions - it’s just the reflection of Annie’s mind.
We learn from Christy’s spirit guide, that his afterlife is anything he WANTS it to be - all he has to do is be ready to see things, and then he will be able to see them. He can manifest anything he wants.
This is also true for his daughter, who we learned has manifested a universe where she gets to take care of all the animals.
If these are the rules of the afterlife, then it would make sense that Annie would unfortunately see a type of hell.
Annie was punishing herself physically and mentally before she died. She blamed herself for everything that happened to her children, and then she blamed herself for what happened to her husband. She’s drowning in pain and guilt and she cannot escape it.
The spirit guide is trying to tell Christy not to bother going after her because she cannot be helped - but Christy has helped Annie out of the darkness before, (we see this in the flashbacks - and they are soulmates, which we learn our special things) - so he is able to use their love to pull her back like he did before.
When he loses his own mind in the process, then Annie hast to be strong for him for the first time and pull him back -
So yes it’s very controversial to show heaven and hell, but I don’t think the point is to condemn Annie - it’s to show that love can rescue us from darkness.
This movie is gorgeous and depressing at the same time.
Love this movie
Never thought I'd get to see a reaction to this film! I adore it. Been one of my favourite lesser known films for a long long time! Also, if you'd really like to see some of Robins amazing range it might be worth checking out One Hour Photo! It's a LOT different but still very very good. Even if just in your own time it's worth seeing in my opinion.
The idea of su*cides going to hell is not based on an "outdated way of thinking." It's dangerous to think of it this way, because it's based on the current belief system of about a billion people. Not MY belief system, mind you, because I agree it's absolutely abhorrent. But it's a basic tenet of Catholicism, that it's a mortal sin and they are condemned. And since about 1 billion people believe in it, it's important to not dismiss it as "an outdated way of thinking." It's current and relates directly to how a lot of people think about mental illness and treat people with those problems, so it's important to be aware of.
However, the movie explicitly states that this is not a punishment based on any divine judgment (I believe in Catholicism it is, however). They explain it is the consequence of ending their physical lives prematurely. . . they essentially get caught up in their pain and denial forever, because they can't face what they have done. Which, quite honestly, does make sense. If they were unable or unwilling to face that pain when alive, it's reasonable to think they would continue to be unable or unwilling to face it when dead. Only in the latter case, they have no escape. It's absolutely tragic and heartbreaking, yes, but sound reasoning in the storyline that removes the element of divine judgment that I personally find problematic. And if it helps at all, I doubt all the people we saw in hell were there by su*cide. The majority were probably condemned there for other reasons (if it's based on the judgments of Catholicism, the reasons may or may not be fair, but that's an entirely different discussion).
Enjoyed the video, as always. :)
If you want some more depth, check out the last Guardians of The Galaxy. They're all good, every one, but the last film fu
Big hugs Frank. I hope your dad and sister are somewhere playing chess in your beautiful art ❤
That is so sweet of you. Thank you very much. I hope so too💜💜
I don't know why no one react to this movie. I recommend it to everyone who love Robin Williams multiple times but it never happens.
OMG I love this movie!❤
💜💜
As usual, a fantastic reaction ! You needed to watch this movie, as much this movie needed to be reacted upon by you !
Regarding the part you didn't like much, or got uncomfortable with, when someone takes his/her own life, that happens due to a strong inner conflict, and in doing so, getting away from life in a sudden way, that's a break in an very important cosmic rule, that is, the denial of continuing his/her evolution.
When we are the after-life, for quite some time we are exactly the way we were when alive. So, we're still dark inside, if we fall in the case of a suicide, and to get away from this "private hell", we have to forgive, others and ourselves, in order to be again at peace.
Well, that's my take on it, and if you will, take it yourself too, with a bit of salt.
Peace !
Thank you thank you for watching. I'm glad I saw the film, has a lot of interest in discussion topics that are worth talking about. Thanks for sharing your perspective on it
9:43 i thought for a second you were gonna say City of Angels ( 1998 ) another great movie not often reacted to on a similar subject
Ive also always seen it as backwards since you need a complete loss of ego to voluntarily leave this world and its a loss of ego that is what most religions try to teach so i would think making the choice to leave would earn you an express ticket to heaven
Other movie adaptations of richard matheson writtings are i am legend and Real Steel . He also wrote some classic twilight zone episodes in the early 60s
Liked already subbed, you are brave and I am commenting on that. It's a great movie and I expect another great reaction.
I appreciate you
The whole suic*ide thing in this movie isn’t that they deserve to be in hell. Or that they are placed there. But that they cannot except their own death and using their new powers they create a world of pain around them. It’s basically that they are doing it to themselves. That is why she could be brought back. It was up to her.
I don’t agree with it but I think that was the general idea of what the movie was trying to say.
