The saga has always fascinated and amazed the public since its launch over 20 years ago. Despite his age, 56, Tom Cruise performs most of the stunts himself. It took him over a year to prepare for this film. He pilots a helicopter in the mountains, jumps in a technical parachute, drives a motorcycle at full speed, without a helmet and in the wrong direction. The waterfalls are extreme and impressive.
The saga has already garnered more than $ 2.8 billion in revenue worldwide.
One of my favourite pastimes, the one I have a particular liking for is going to the cinema.
Among different types of movies (like comedies, romantic dramas, adventures, police dramas or detective movies, psychological thrillers, horror movies or historical films) best of all I like detective movies and romantic dramas because most of such movies are interesting and full of life to me. But I also like good horror movies and I find them quite thrilling since my childhood.
But now I’d like to tell you about the movie that I find most pleasant to watch. It’s called “What Dreams May Come”. It is a 1998 American fantasy drama, starring Robin Williams. The film is based on the 1978 novel of the same name by Richard Matheson and was directed by Vincent Ward.
It’s a beautiful story about a married couple. Chris (Robin Williams) and Annie (Annabella Sciorra) play husband and wife.
They met by chance and fell in love immediately. They have two wonderful kids and a marriage full of love and life. But tragically, one day their kids are taken from them in a car accident.
They hold on to their lives and fight the sorrow, but one day, four years later, Chris’s life is also taken. He ends up in Heaven, but can’t accept his fate. A guide is sent to him, in the form of his friend Albert (Cuba Gooding Jr.). Albert leads Chris on a journey through Heaven. In the real world, Annie can’t handle Chris’s death, and she kills herself and ends up in Hell. Chris must go on a journey to find her, and save her from an eternity of suffering.
This movie hits all the right chords. It makes you laugh and cry at times. The love Chris has for Annie is stronger than anything you have ever seen. He’s willing to lose his mind, and spend all eternity in Hell with her, with neither of them recognizing the other because they are soul mates, destined to be together for all the time.
This movie is hard to explain in any other way. The journey Chris goes through is remarkable, but the real star of this film is the visuals.
From the opening shot to the closing frame, it is magnificent. The story is enveloping encompassing nearly every asset of human emotion. It’s a roller–coaster ride but rewarding. Comedy, hope, sadness, joy, elation, despair… all displayed perfectly.
It’s a story about everlasting love and dreams that always come true.
