as promised, here is a personal take on a movie titled "Collateral Beauty" that i have watched recently. while professional critics rated this show poorly, fans review from IMDB hinted otherwise. took a gamble and watched it and man it was worth it.
the story is based on the story of a marketing company's boss starred by Will Smith. the beginning of the film showed a promising future of the company before it fast forward to three years later when he lost his daughter to illness. from there, he started to shut off everything and everyone around him, leading the company to times of struggles. few of his colleagues, including the co-owner decided to help him by hiring actors and actresses to play the role of the imaginary characters their dear friend has been writing to. these are "Love", "Death" and "Time". i shall leave the rest of the plot details out in case of spoilers.
so, my personal take that this movie is generally heart-warming and interesting apart from a slight flaw. the flaw being "Love", "Death" and "Time" are actual people. i think it would be cooler and more interesting if they are really spirits or something. nonetheless, the effect of the plot was well brought out. i love how the movie wraps everything up nicely towards the end. i think in the few years down the road, this movie will be one of the many christmas classic movies.. those televisions love to play during the festive season. worth watching.. go go go.
