I'm not even finished watching this movie, but I'm already going to write this "review." It's just so long! (the movie)
I'm trying to go through all of Roger Ebert's movies that he gave four stars to - starting with the PG ones, mostly because I'm highly interested in movies with that rating that are actually done well (see: rare).
This movie was actually not rated, but I included it. It's about people that die and then have a week or something to pick one memory from their life that they want to have forever.
Also there's these people that work at the place that helps them pick the memory and then they create a movie about it to help them relive it and remember it forever.
This is all so ridiculous to me. At first it made me start to think about what memory I would choose. I have an assortment to choose from..
(At first I started to list my good memories right here, but actually I don't want to anymore.)
The movie's sort of interesting, esp. when you're trying to figure out what's going on with the one girl, but then an hour and a half goes by and you still don't know and you're sort of over it by then.
Omigosh I keep thinking the movie's over but it's just one of the "movie memories" in the movie fading to black, but they keep it there for like four seconds, and you're like, Is it over? But then it's not.
I don't know exactly what life after death is like, but I can assure you it's nothing like this movie, and I can also assure you that the matters of the earth that mean so much to us will probably mean very little at that point or we'll view them in an entirely different way.
Roger Ebert was an atheist, as far as I know, so it's interesting to think he knows now.. the truth.

Omigosh the movie finally ended. I think the main girl ended up choosing her memory finally? And it's the memory of when she first came to the place that helps you choose your memory? Oh my gosh. I'm sorry if I'm spoiling this for some, but you're better off just knowing and not sitting through it.
