Original title is original as heck.
Don't judge me.
I quite liked the movie After Life. Out of all of the movies about Heaven and Hell and Purgatory, I feel like it brought something different to the table. I've never seen a movie about people who help others transition into the afterlife by recreating their memories and capturing them on film. I thought it was interesting how they were able to capture so many diverse memories with such a low budget and such old film equipment.
(That did lead to some funny jokes about Shiori talking the girl out of Disneyland. "Are you sure you wouldn't want something... simpler?")
I also thought it was touching how the guy at the end finally chose his memory and chose to carry the memory of his coworkers and his feelings when he was with them to the afterlife. At first, I thought, "Oh, no! He's going to forget all about them!" But he didn't. He purposely chose them as his memory so that he would never forget.
