Flatliners

            Flatliners is a must-see if you have ever asked existential questions to yourself. What happens after we die is one such common question, and that's the main theme of this movie, but there are other moral ones that the movie attempts to answer. The movie forays into the depths of human psyche, albeit in a traditional Christian way. .
             But the group get a bigger thriller than they bargained for when the dead people they encountered during the flat lining session invite themselves into the real world. Billy Mahoney (Joshua Rudoy), a boy Wright had picked on as a kid, is back with a vengeance. Hurley, a womaniser who videotapes his conquests, is attacked by images of girls he has slept with and videotaped without their knowledge. The others have their own guilt trips as well, except that these trips are as real as ever. .
             Finally, Labraccio decides to make peace with his past, in a Catholic confessional sort of way, and then his visions disappear. The others do the same and all ends up being well. .
             When you die, no one's going to punish you for what you've done (and in any case, the thought of punishment after death should not be a motivator for how you lead your life). You have the freedom to do whatever you want while you're here, but if you want to be happy with that freedom, then don't do anything to others you wouldn't want done to yourself. .
             Medical students begin to explore the realm of near death experiences, hoping for insights. Each has their heart stopped and is revived. They begin having flashes of walking nightmares from their childhood, reflecting sins they committed or had committed against them. The experiences continue to intensify, and they begin to be physically beaten by their visions as they try and go deeper into the death experience to find a cure. .
