SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Cortechba Overrated

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

arjunflamingfeather Intense and the meaning of peace is searched at a deeper level; understanding relationships like father and son or father and daughter because of interest towards their thesis. The thesis statement is that Collateral Beauty exists and we move on: finding sources to interest us like books and exercises. Damage to organs are a suitable place to start in existence because from the earliest days of humanity organs failed or were made to fail through wars but here we can explore the meaning of preserving those moments by excepting that peace governs us. Peace to countries like Pakistan from India; peace to call them home. Peace to bring soldiers in foreign lands home; because troubles like being in an air raid because the government is under terrorist ties brings nations like France and United States of America to perform strikes on Lebanon and Syria. Regimes are overthrown by the space of a decade and peace prevails but being in the third world it is hard to bring home the effects that we are peaceful like the countries of the first worlds. Relevant points of searching for life after death through means of peace can be traced to primal humans because they were in the moment. Momentary gain like achieving a pass mark in an exam brings joy and peace contrary to violence and disobedience under Boko Haram or Al Quaida. Terrorism does not exist; finding a terrorist within brings another to share your basic life style. Life and Death; theatrical proof of the failure to conquer death.

gaijintendo Everyone is acting so hard. Right in front of the cameras. They are doing all their acting tricks. They are saying all these lines. Someone put so much effort into every line. Too much effort?It is all about emotion, but everything is so in-human. Nothing sounds like a human might have ever said it. Everyone speaks with such singular purpose: to do some acting. No small chat. No warming up for the big emotive message.The ambient sounds feel oppressive. The music feels like it is trying to make you fall into a dream-state.I don't understand why people love this movie, but I am happy for them.

mmanino There are many negative reviews of this movie. Things like screenplay and some other things I do not quite understand or even care about. The movie does hit the mark in that it really stirs your thoughts and emotions. I watched this movie over 2 months ago, and I cannot tell you how many times I have caught myself thinking about the movie! There are layers after layers. What a fantastic film! If you want something all processed and chewed up for you, then this probably isn't for you. If you want a story that makes you evaluate your own life, and makes you think about your own circumstances (without providing answers I might add) this is perfect. The answers are yours to find and are not included in the movie btw. Lastly, the acting: Smith, Norton, Pena, and Knightly, wow! Excellent! Smith however was simply astonishing. I really felt for him throughout the movie. I know he was acting, but I sincerely wanted to reach into the screen and give that poor man a hug. Watch this movie. Thank me later.

solrodino I´m really glad I watched this film and that it gets to be my first review on IMDb. I think that the message it leaves behind is great; I ended up feeling hopeful. Appreciate the gift of time and seek for love beacause it´s always there even if you can´t see it clearly. Will Smith gave an incredible performance, I reckon all the actors did so. The plot was clever and even though it isn´t an exhilarating action film, it has some twists that make it very exciting at the end. It was beautiful and romantic and painful. It makes you reflect on life and how we should live it fully and enjoy its beauty, even at our darkest moments. Go watch it, I doubt you´ll regret it!
