What Dreams May Come, by maxi

July 10, 2004

I saw this movie in 1998; everything is great in this movie. It wasn’t what I expected, if you expect a drama film there is more to it than that. It starts with a tragic beginning, your emotions are stretched to the limit, your will be asking yourself your beliefs in death and after life. This gives us hope that there is life after death and it can be as wonderful as we want it to be or the other way around, depending on how we live our life on earth or how clean your soul/ spirit is. Mainly teaches us the LOVE is all, and can reach out through any boundaries
