Afterlife (1978 short film)
    #12698462 -

http://www.nfb.ca/film/Afterlife

I first saw this short film a few years ago, at a time of great self-discovery. It definitely made an impact, seeing as how I haven't forgotten about it. Well, it was on my mind today and I thought I would share it.

Must. Watch.

definitely...which is why i still remember it. in the beginning when the old dude passes over and his mouth is just gaping open, eyes fixed on the light swelling over him...yeah pretty moving.

i watched it because i liked some stuff you contributed to a conversation previously

but i didn't like it, not because of the content/theme though. to me, it lacked content, the video was unable to convey any message to me. it did have some cool art.

i guess its just the way people interpret things differently

see to me it kind of seemed like a really heavy mushroom trip/ayahuasca visions...thats why it struck a chord with me. i always interconnect things in my brain like follows : peoples perception of death>psychedelics>afterlife>dmt>pineal gland...in some random order of that..it makes me think that somehow there is a more profound meaning of life than what we know, y'know?

yeah and i think the film very artfully touches on that deeper meaning to it all...brings the inexpressible passage of the horizon into the tangible.

wow that was pretty cool, like you said that part with the old man in the beginning was very moving.  the end for some reason sent a chill down my spine, glad I watched that

the reason has to do with the fact that this film very closely represents some cosmic truth.

bump because this movie is fucking cool.  And directly parallels the account of an after death state by every mystic/esoteric tradition.
