God doesn't guarantee a perfect life. He guarantees a perfect eternity. What in this life is perfect anyway? This life is simply a preparation for eternity. The same way your development in the womb is a preparation for the temporal world. In time, its nothing in comparison.
Notice the wound in the side of the statue of Christ at 1:06 , Bridges has a similar wound in the same spot from the crash. Perez: "There's no God But there's you?"
RPWVIDINTR'N: Cmpltly agree . Briges' masterpiece. Addtnlly, Peter Weir's finest film-snubbed by Academy-film & he weren't evn nmntd! Rosie's best prfrmnc, as well. She was nmntd 4 BSA & but lost-ROBBED! She stood out in film, ovrshdwng all othrs-almost mtchng JB! What a pwrful duo in seering prtryal of randomness of life, our emotionl vulnrablties, & how love & compassion can soothe heartache frm loss.
this film is very therapeutic for anyone who has been in a transport crash, and has seen loved ones die or has ptsd or survivor guilt ..the emotions/reactions and affinity with other survivors & the unhelpful responses of "non-crash" people, coming out with mild-mannered stereotypes or 'making it taboo' etc are spot on here...bravo.
my neighbor was in a car crash recently and her brother was killed and she has really bad survivor's guilt, kept/keeps saying she should have died instead. It's so sad
I don't know which one has uglier voice , JBridges or RPerez ???? Two of the worse in hollywood ...

rpwVifeoConstruction: I TOTALLY FUCKING AGREE! Weir's masterpiece, as well. Most underrated film since I was born (58').

Nonsense. When you're dead you're dead. Afterlives are wishful thinking
