I remember being bored out of my mind by it when I was young, but I started watching it on Netflix last night after some heavy drinking. That movie is freakin' crazy. The depiction of his own Heaven and how he controls it, and how God does exist. I can't imagine them making this movie today.
Nothing in it made me cry or anything, but now thinking about how his dead dog comes back to him, that kind of thing gets me every time.
According to the description (I didn't get that far), he eventually sacrifices himself to Hell to save his wife. I gotta see what that looks like. The movie did win the Academy Award for visual effects. You should check it out, if only to see what their trippy Heaven world they made looks like.
