Defending Your Life

I love the movie Defending Your Life with Meryl Streep and Albert Brooks, two actors I am fond of.

In this movie these characters both die early in the movie and most of the movie takes place in a in between sort of place where people go after dying (according to the movie) to defend and review their lives.

It is a witty entertaining movie worth seeing if you have not seen it.

During this movie we are shown scenes from both the lives of Meryl and Albert's characters. The two meet while reviewing their lives and form a friendship which ends in a very happy ending and triumph for Albert's character whom you find yourself cheering for as he gets so down on himself as he reviews his life. Meryl seems to be an angel and a hero whom you cannot help but love much like her luck as an actress. I often say art imitates life. I know I love Meryl Streep. Who doesn't?

In the movie we follow these two through meetings with their counselors or whatever they call themselves who are smarter than any of us here and like to let the characters know how smart they are. So, smart they don't have to come back like some people.

I love, love, love this movie! Good one to have
