Film Response-"After Life"

The film After Life revolves around the idea that after you die, you must chose only one memory from your entire life to remember, for the rest of eternity. The film is set in a secluded building cut off from the rest of the world, where even the view of moon through the window is an illusion. A team of counselors, who also turn out to be dead, work to help each person to pick their memory. The counselors even show one man a series of videotapes  documenting his entire life in order to help him choose. After each person decides, the team of counselors works to recreate their memory exactly as it happened in order to make it feel as if they are reliving that moment. This idea of recreating a moment in time so exactly that it feels as if it is actually happening again is very intriguing. The counselors use fans to recreate the breeze felt by a passenger riding on a train, they spray mist to make it feel humid like a hot summer day, and play sounds of car horns and people to describe the feeling of a city. This way of recreating an event or scene could be very interesting if applied to real life. No longer would the feeling of the crisp winter day air be a faint memory during the hot and sticky summer, but rather it could be recreated. Although it would be nice to relive our fondest memories, even with all the technology and capabilities of cinematography these days I feel that the emotionality of a such a strong and important memory can not ever fully be recaptured. The recreated memory will always only ever be exactly that, a memory of a memory.
