Never seen it but I'm going to have to now!

WOW..I can play it instantly on Netflix! Thanks Beau you've given me something to do this evening. Will check it out tonight and post my thoughts.

Thanks for posting the trailer clip.  Apparently I've turned into a wimp in my old age...that trailer gave me goosebumps!!  It looks good, can't wait to see it.

I'll go rent it tomorrow...it's out to rent, right?  I think I saw it listed at the Redbox but didn't know what it was.  The kids made me get Toy Story 3 anyway.  Which I loved.   

Anyway, Beau I think this movie kind of sounds like the same concept as Jacob's Ladder.  What do you think?

Ok, I rented Afterlife the other night and it was definitely on the weird side!  I'm still a little confused about some points in the movie, but maybe they wanted to leave it open to interpretation. 

One thing I got about the afterlife aspect was that the girl was in denial about her death, so she was stuck and had no clue how to move on from it.  The mortician certainly wasn't a good role model!  Another thing I got was that he wasn't in that profession to help people move on, just there to get them out of the way.  He said they were taking up the space of those who really wanted to live. 

So what I'm confused about is, was she really dead, or was he putting her in a coma with the injections?  It seems she was dead, but I'm not sure if there was a subtle other message or insinuation that she wasn't.  The little boy burying the chick who still appeared to us to be alive, was that signifying that the little chick didn't have much will to live and might as well be done away with??  Remember that he was not as happy as the other chicks...Or was the chick was dead and the boy was able to see his spirit too?

Well, it wasn't a movie I would bother watching again.  A little too weird.   

I think Neeson's character could foresee people's death.  He seemed to be waiting by the side of the road when the boyfriend died.  Him and the little boy.  And what was with the little boy's mother?  I guess I'll have to Google it to find out what the heck was wrong with her and why. 

Creepy movie.   


I'm done thinking about it.

He could see spirits, so I'm assuming not just the dead but could also see spirits of the living.  To him, though, if you weren't fully living life you didn't deserve to be living.  For some reason he had this gift, but he didn't have any loving ambition or drive to use it.  It was more of a burden to him I think.

I saw this Beau and love movies about an afterlife and/or parallel realities.  My all time favorite is “What Dreams May Come”.  People that I’ve talked to about these movies say they are depressing, but I don’t see it that way, especially  in “What Dreams May Come.”  I love the idea that we may live on and can choose how to do that.  “Lost” is another that grabbed my attention.
