The description of this film is highly misleading. Any beauty is bought from stock footage and every 'interview' is simply Marilyn nodding and agreeing with light anecdotes and huckster wisdom. Despite being firmly spiritual and non-religious in tone, the person that comes out best is a Muslim cleric who notes that birth and life are temporary and death is permanent. Of course the one time the interviewer asks a follow up question is when she thinks a jovial and intelligent guy from the Skeptic Society might be in denial about a conversation with his dead mother. The mistake seems to be focusing on the egoists who are 'at peace' with their own death or talk about looking down at their bodies in near death experiences. A much better film would have focused on the much more important issue of what death means for the living. This film inexplicably leaves the grieving to two elephants.
