What Dreams May Come is a deeply moving and visually breathtaking film that explores love, loss, and the afterlife in a way that’s both heart-wrenching and hopeful. Robin Williams delivers a powerful and compassionate performance as a man who journeys through heaven and hell to reunite with his wife. The film’s imaginative depiction of the afterlife is like a living painting—lush, surreal, and unforgettable. The themes are heavy—grief, death, and eternal love—but they're handled with grace and emotional depth. It's not a light watch, but it's one that stays with you long after the credits roll. If you're looking for a film that challenges you to think about what comes after, while also celebrating the power of love, What Dreams May Come is a must-see. Read more
Great movie. Read more
There's an author by the name of Richard Matheson, who's better known for his horror fiction (I Am Legend and Hell House) and the teleplays that he wrote for the original Twilight Zone series in the sixties (the most famous being Nightmare at 30,000 Feet). This is the man who had the greatest influence on Stephen King when he was a teenager and an aspiring writer. What many people don't know is that Richard Matheson also wrote two very powerful novels about undying love and soul mates, both of which were turned into successful movies--Somewhere In Time in 1980 and What Dreams May Come in 1998. This posting is about What Dreams May Come. What Dreams May Come was written by Richard Matheson as a way of saying a big "thank you" to his wonderful wife. He wanted to write a book that would show his love for her in a very special way. When the novel was originally published, one of the producers of Somewhere In Time read it and decided that he would eventually turn the book into a movie. This finally came about in 1998. The movie, What Dreams May Come, starred Robin Williams as Chris Nielsen and Annabella Sciorra as his wife, Annie. The story is a sad one; yet, it does have a positive ending. More importantly, it has a strong message about life after death and how we choose to come into this life to be with the people we love and need to learn from. In a sense, this is the unique power of love. When you truly love someone, the energy of that emotion never goes away, no matter how many years or centuries may pass. Love is eternal. The story of What Dreams May Come (there are plot spoilers here, so beware) deals with a middle-aged couple that has lost their two children due to a traffic accident. They have struggled to rebuild their lives and to carry on their journey together. But, another traffic accident takes Chris's life, and Annie is left alone to deal with her guilt and heartache and emptiness. As Chris's spirit gradually accepts his death, he moves into the after life, or to a very special place that's built on happy memories from his previous life. You could say that it's the place where dreams are born. He meets the man who helped trained him to be a doctor and is guided by him in an effort to readjust to this new state of being. Eventually Chris will encounter his two children, whose memories have never left his heart. In time, however, he finds out that Annie has committed suicide. She found herself unable to go on without him. Because of her belief system and because her death is a suicide, Annie's spirit ends up in what might be referred to as hell. Chris refuses to accept that he may never see Annie again and decides to go after her. Though no spirit has ever done this before, Chris is determined to make the journey to hell and to bring his wife back. This is the strength of his love for her. If he can't bring Annie back, then he'll stay in hell with her for the rest of his existence. Needless to say, you need a big box of Kleenexes when you watch What Dreams May Come. This movie has a number of poignant moments about true love and death and the people who are interconnected to us. The photography and special effects are awesome. The movie makes you believe in life after death, and that it can be the most beautiful place that one's mind can imagine. I think this is one of the reasons the film had such a powerful affect upon me. When I saw it at the movie theater in 1998, I continued to sit there for at least ten minutes after the end credits had rolled. I wasn't the only one, either. That night, I went to see it again with some friends, and we all seemed to experience the same kind of sensation when the movie ended. It touched something deep within us that was desperately needed. I think that as human beings, we need these very special experiences every so often in order to keep us moving through the ups and downs of life. Without these moments in time that touch our hearts and souls, we would simply be moving forward as if on autopilot. There's about twenty-five minutes of extras on this DVD that deal with the making of the movie. Highly recommended! Read more
This movie was such a masterpiece! I cried almost the WHOLE movie because it was an emotional roller coaster of emotions! Robert Williams was such a brilliant actor and this movie really showed how well of an actor he truly was! This movie really shows the spiritual aspects of what CAN happen when we all pass away and that we never truly are "gone." He really outlined alot of different emotions and this was such a great movie! Seriously I recommend everyone watch this movie! Rest in peace Robert Williams! Read more
