I have seen some attempts but none of them come close to what it is really like. Would people want to see what awaits them?

we have, when the twin towers fell, there were people being filmed on the way down, so close you could recognize them, and they filmed the hit as well. really heart-wrenching.brokenheart

I meant from a more after-life point of view. That was horrible. At the time, my girlfriend worked like three blocks from the towers. She called out sick that day, but still... I'm originally from NJ, so 9/11 hits pretty close to home.

Yeh, next time I die I'm taking my digital camcorder along with me.

There was once a movie that had a machine that could record experiences and then you could hook this machine up to someone else and they could experience the same and experiences.

One guy was recording something and had a heart attack and the machine recorded some kind of life after death experience.

This was a old movie, I can't remember the name of it. Anyone remember it?

You don't want to go there...

Read this book... Divine Revelation of Hell.

You will never look at people in such a casual way again. I cried over every person I knew & even strangers I saw on the street after reading that book.

nobody alive knows what happens after you die, and if they say they do they are lieing.

That's too "my mind is made up so don't confuse me with facts" to refute, so I'll just say ...

at least they wouldn't by lying.

Well what happens to one person could be completely and totally different than another person.

Nobody alive knows what happens after you fart either.

That's because we don't really know what the future holds, in this world or the next.

If life after death exists I sure don't need a preview of it, hey i don't even like previews of regular movies so why would I want to know about what happens when I die. It will happen we all die we can't escape it so why ruin the fun of the surprise.

The point that none of us actually know should tell us that nothing we think we know is absolute either.

And if we all believed that we wouldn't cling stubbornely to anything that has been preached to this day and would relate to eachother as human beings instead of labels, ending the arguments that keep us divided.

Personally I would love to know what happens.

You should check out that movie Brainstorm from 1983.It was way ahead of its time.It is about some scientist who invent a machine that can record a persons life including what they are seeing and feeling.One of the scientist has a heart attack and she hooks up the machine and records her death and what happens when she dies.

I doubt any film could capture the afterlife. Christian heaven is meant to be sublime and perfect something we cannot comprehend, Hell would be something probably easier to do but it would be extremely horrible. So to wonder whether any film gets it right or not is pointless.

The movie, What Dreams May Come with Robin Williams had an interesting take on Heaven that I particularly liked.

Heaven and hell are states of mind... while you are alive.

Spiritually, we do not knew where we where before birth and that's why we don't know where we will be heading.

My belief, I will be reincarnated again.
