“What Dreams May Come” (Directed by Vincent Ward, 1998)
A visual master piece for its time, heaven and hell never appeared so good. Robin Williams (Chris Nielsen), brings the heavens and depths of hell to the big screen, with such amazing visual effects. A painting, come to real life in only a way one could imagine what their afterlife would be. Though the story lacks a bit of interest to the viewer, what brings you in and captivates you, is the journey from heaven to hell, that shows you the beauty’s and repulsiveness of what life after death could be. This original movie also features the magnetism of Cuba Gooding Jr. (Albert) and the sensitivity of Annabella Sciorra (Annie Nielsen).
Throughout the movie, Robin Williams travels from heaven to hell to save his soul mate (Sciorra), from eternal damnation. During the journey, the movie flashes back before Williams died, and tells the story of how first his kids past away and then himself. Sciorra’s character has trouble dealing with the passing of both her kids and then ultimately her husband. She loses the life she once loved in the whole ordeal and then struggles to get a grip on reality. With the help of a tracker (Max Von Sydow), Williams begins his adventure which only he could hope would bring his love back to heaven. Vincent Ward creates a brilliant and vibrant movie with shots of gorgeous scenery and landscapes. It contains an everlasting love that propels the human heart to search hell for its missing piece.
