What a disgusting movie

I was completely fine with this movie until Cuba Gooding Jr. told Robin Williams his wife was going to hell because she committed suicide. I felt as if the director wanted to prove that we should all be Christians and devoted to God, or else we'll go to hell. To be honest, I was disappointed. I was expecting something more meaningful besides the whole "bag full of chemicals/soul" debate.

your pessimism runs deep indeed.

Absolutely pathetic. Sorry, you UTTERLY missed the point of the story. It has nothing whatever to do with Christian principles. The plot is at pains to describe Hell as "your life gone wrong", as something which is strictly self-punishment, and not retribution laid down from above. If I am not mistaken, there is never a mention of God or Jesus.
