Collateral Beauty is an American-drama film released in 2016 starring Will Smith, Edward Norton, Keira Knightley, Michael Peña and many more.
Though it was released almost four years back, it holds a very important message. It is a masterpiece that shows how beautiful grief could be.
It’s an emotionally heavy film that is based on the whole motto of connecting love, time and death.
The movie says these are the three basic elements that connect all the human beings to each other around the world as we long for love, wish we had more time and fear death.
The story starts with a grieving Will Smith, who has recently lost his child, writing letters to the universe, demanding answers from the cosmos to explain why he had to suffer through such an unbearable tragedy. As his friends and colleagues see him wasting his life away while dealing with their own problems, they plot a plan in order to deem him unfit in front of the board members to gain control of the company which they all started together.
Unaware of the plans universe has for them, while trying to pull their friend out of his misery, they heal themselves along the way too.
This movie beautifully portrays that there’s no timeline to get over the grief someone you loved so deeply but time does eventually heal all and even the most hideous of the circumstances have their own collateral beauty!
