A True Romantic Fantasy
We often wonder what the afterlife is all about. Often times, most of us want to be reunited with our one true love, our soul mates, and to live in our ultimate fantasy world. The movie, "What Dreams May Come" is a perfect example of a Fantasy Romance. Two lovers, Chris and Annie, were torn away from each other by death, eventually ending up in two different worlds. Destined to find his soul mate, Chris went on a journey that he would never forget.When Chris and Annie met, it was love at first sight. Seeing her sail across the lake in her little canoe caught his attention quickly because of her beauty and her red clothes. They met up with each other later on the top of a mountain and this is where the romance began. They got married and started a family with two beautiful children names Ian and Marie, but their journey to find each other had just begun. The death of their children in the car crash is what started it all. Four years after the death of his two children, Chris, their father, played by Robin Williams, is also killed in a tragic crash. He doesn't know how to accept his death and Heaven awaits him until he can. He attends his own funeral to see what has happened and finally realizes that he
needs to accept the truth. His loving wife Annie, who finally had started to get over the loss of her two kids, falls into deep grief, guilt, and depression because she is all alone and doesn't know what to do. When Chris arrives in Heaven, he is in his fantasy world, the world of reunion. He is reunited with his children, his dog, and a recent associate. The best part of his Heaven is that his world is a painting, particularly his wife's painting. He sees the mansion that his wife painted for them and it makes him feel closer to her. All he wants is to be with her, to touch her, to feel her. When he eventually arrives to the real heaven he sees that it is a city of gold and God is always looking down on him saying "I love you". He realizes that he made his own fantasy heaven, the one he wants to be in and he can make whatever he wants of it. Chris went through many different stages through hell just to get to Annie to help her and be with her. All he wanted was his wife even though he was warned she wouldn't remember him. After passing through a sea of dead souls and a hell fire, he finally sees Annie and realizes that she is facing her personal hell of guilt and depression and she has no idea who her husband is. He almost gives up, but he is so
