What Dreams May Come (VHS, 1999, Digitally Mastered; Closed Captioned)

My daughter wanted this VHS for xmas. I bought it on 11-29-08. Now the seller is "no longer a registered user" on ebay so, I cannot give feedback or email them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am VERY close to quitting ebay all together...it just keeps getting worse AND NO help from ebay.

I thought that robin willams play the best serious performance of his whole career , makes me cry every time i watch it , there is no better movie, i bought off ebay because i couldn't find it anywhere.

Enhanced (actually, underpinned) with wonderful computer effects, I found the movie enchanting, and unusual for a Hollywood production. It is the story of how far a person might go for love, in this case into the depths of the hell of forgetting, which is a cold hell indeed.
I loved the concept there are more enduring things than physical death, one is not helpless in the currents of fate, and our will and emotions can determine our direction.
That being said, I wish they would have used another lead actor than Robin Williams. For some reason, his personae is irksome to me, as it has been in many of his movies of the last decade, with the exception of 'Good Will Hunting', where that personae worked. He comes off so often, as he does here, as Peter Pan playing an adult playing Peter Pan, with that little sheepish hurt-boy look. I keep wanting to say "Leave Peter in Neverland". Very unkind, I know, and I don't dislike him, I just feel he is sort of a caricature of the Robin Williams mold, can't seem to get out of it, and is too old for it now (has been for at least 10 years). That puckish charm, so endearing when he was young, wears like an outmoded and over-used coat. I thought someone like Ewan MacGregor would play this part much better.
It didn't detract too much from the movie for me to enjoy and recommend it, though. This is not a movie for everyone, but for the viewer who is looking for flights of fantasy with a message, for a story of human love beyond death, a metaphysical fable of creating our own destinies, you will be as absorbed as I was.

Its a shame this movie wasn't made into a series. Excellent writing by the author. I only hope the views of the author can be a reality in the afterlife.
