Collateral Beauty

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Collateral Beauty

Post by GORDON »

Will Smith plays a man who lost a young child to an illness. It has completely fucked him up and is fucking up the company he co-founded.... and those cofounders, while they care about him, are having their financial futures fucked up by his being-fucked-upedness. So they take steps, and it turns out Will Smith has been writing therapeutic letters to Time, Death, and Love.

It was OK.... but I wonder if this movie has anywhere near the impact to people who aren't parents. It kind of all revolves around that.

We should test it out on Malcolm.

Does it also require people to have emotions and a soul?

How the fuck many times must I explain this? Hate and anger are still emotions. As for the second part, I'll defer to someone else's response.
