After Life (contains spoilers)
18 years ago
[copy/paste from my lj]
This is about the movie, "After Life" which we watched in class this evening.
There are spoilers contained within this journal, but please read it and respond if you are willing. Thank you.
This movie suggests a version of the after life where you (peacefully) find yourself (on a Monday) in this warehouse/townhouse building. If you've ever seen the conference lodge on Thompson's Island in the harbor, it looks like that to me. Anyway, you get sent into a waiting room/sitting room area, then called into a private room and hear basically this speech:
As you know, you died [yesterday]. You have three days (until Wednesday) to select one of your memories from your life. The staff here will do what we can to reproduce your memory on film. There will be a screening on Saturday. Once you see your memory, you will go on and take only that memory with you.
The question is, what memory would you chose? I'm supposed to do a photo project based on this movie, picking a memory and using 6-8 photos to represent it... Yeah. So not easy.
also, i need to reshoot my fear project based on how seriously one girl took hers. thats all ill say here on that.

Cool air wafts over your skin, contrasting the cozy warmth of delight you always carry within you. The gentle rain patters along concrete and splatters softly on the hood of your jacket, slowly tricking into the mesh and onto your scalp. You hear only the rain, and your shallow breaths. You know your feet should be slapping against the sidewalk but this time, this grey dusk (or is it dawn?) envelops you and swallows all white noise until you know this isn't loneliness, but peace.
