Review: Collateral Beauty

Retreating from life after a tragedy, a man questions the universe by writing to Love, Time and Death. Receiving unexpected answers, he begins to see how these things interlock and how even loss can reveal moments of meaning and beauty.

I liked this movie. It was kind of sad because Howard had lost his daughter. I just don't see how his friends and co-workers could just trick him and hire people to do it. It just seems messed up. I am amazed on how I didn't pick up the fact that Riffe,Amy,and Brigette were figments the whole time. They were never there. I also never picked up that Madeline was his wife. That was good. It didn't even cross my mind to think of that. Especially since only one person can one of the three. Claire saw Time(Riffe) because she had given up on time. Simon saw Death(Brigette) because he was dying. Whit saw Love(Amy) because he was losing his daughter. Though the ending between them was so weird. She was mad because he said he was going to stalk her but then she somehow was ok with it because she told him the next day was a half day at school. I wouldn't know what to say if someone said they were going to stalk me. More like call the cops feel though. I do love Will Smith and Kate Winslet. I kind of liked that they were in one movie. I guess I would feel the same way Howard did. How exactly are you supposed to see the beauty in something that takes life away from you? Where is the Beauty in Death? It just doesn't make sense to me. I don't see how it works. It just feels like an unsolvable puzzle. The pieces don't fit. I thought it was sweet that he was still playing with the dominoes like he did when his daughter was alive. He was trying to  keep her with him.
