COLLATERAL BEAUTY

Hello everyone,

Today we’d like to talk about something that we find  important. Important means something that we feel has to be shared and treasured.

2017 has brought us a new film and a new story different from others because it’s about ordinary human beings and their ordinary life. No superhero, we mean, and no easy solution to sufferings and issues.  The movie we want to tell you about is COLLATERAL BEAUTY.

SYNOPSIS

When a successful New York advertising executive (Will Smith) experiences a deep personal tragedy and retreats from life entirely, his colleagues devise a drastic plan to force him to confront his grief in a surprising and profoundly human way.

WE WATCHED THE MOVIE AND LOVED IT

Howard was an ordinary man. He had everything and he was happy, really happy. But the death of his child radically changed his life.

He starts writing strange letters to abstract concepts: love, death and time. Yeah, it sounds strange and it is,  but it’s also fascinating at the same time. Why should you write letters to these “abstract concepts”? You can’t expect an answer. In fact, Howard didn’t get one. However, he is so angry with his life and with the whole world that he must do something.

 

But he will learn to look at everything around him and realize how much beauty he can still find in life.

We don’t want to tell you more, to avoid spoiling your pleasure at watching and discovering how the story develops  but recommend you to watch this movie and try to understand what  “COLLATERAL BEAUTY” really means to you.
