in defense of many things
There have been many movies about the life and death, but “Defending Your Life” is probably the most interesting. Albert Brooks directs himself as yuppie Daniel Miller, who gets killed in a car wreck one day. Once dead, he gets transported to Judgment City, where he has to defend the self-serving, mealy-mouthed life that he led; if he wins, he gets to continue on the afterlife, but if he loses, then he has to live another life to improve on his previous one. Meryl Streep plays Julia, whom Daniel gets to know in Judgment City, while Rip Torn plays Daniel’s attorney and Lee Grant plays the prosecutor.I gotta say, it’s a crying shame that there aren’t more movies like this. Whenever Albert Brooks directs a movie, it always seems like he comes up with something really creative, and he doesn’t disappoint here. If this is really what happens after we die, than I am not afraid to die (hey, no one should fear death; I mean, we’re all gonna die eventually). And above all, I staunchly defend this movie.
