The afterlife, a lofty concept that can be distilled in an everyday conversation with friends, is something we all think about in some form of fashion. Deep contemplation over what happens to your heart and mind when you become deceased is the basis of religion. Portrayals of the afterlife come in all shapes and sizes on the big screen, for both comedic and dramatic effect. Albert Brooks, the renowned actor and stand-up comic who periodically stood in as an auteur filmmaker throughout the '80s and '90s, examined what it means to attain personal redemption as a spirit of the past in Defending Your Life.
