How much time must pass to overcome the mourning for a loved one? In particular, I do not have an estimate, but each stage has a time limit to then move on with our lives.
”Collateral beauty” or “Unexpected beauty” shows us this reality and other very interesting topics. The film stars the great actor Will Smith, who plays the role of Howard Inlet, a major shareholder of an advertising firm that does not He has just overcome a great loss, the death of his young daughter due to a terminal illness.
Since the death of his daughter, Howard sank into a great depression, to the point of not even daring to say her name, much less the illness that made her succumb. The emotional detriment in which he had plunged was not only affecting his personal life, but also the other shareholders of the company, who, by the way, were his friends and did not know how to make him react. His erratic behavior was posing an imminent danger to the company's finances. Logically, this implied that everyone's future was teetering on the tightrope.
Was it impressive how the expression on his face denoted pain, the tears appeared and he avoided talking about it at all costs. He became lonely and withdrawn, but never sought help to get out of that terrible lethargy.
Had a few years gone by, and was Howard still the same, or was it getting worse every day? In his monotonous life, he did the same thing every day. He didn't have any dogs, but he spent hours at the dog park sitting on a bench. In his apartment he didn't have internet, he didn't even turn on the TV, maybe he didn't eat well either. However, there was a very striking activity that he did not stop doing daily, writing letters to three abstract concepts, which according to him, had an important impact on the life of any human being: time, love and death.
Did he claim what he considered a betrayal from each one, for having taken away what he loved most in life?.
His friends and company shareholders were really concerned, each fighting a personal battle that Howard was involved in. Their taciturn attitude has put everyone's future in decline and it is then that they decide to put into action a drastically unusual plan.

Mi opinión personal
My personal opinion
It is a film that leaves us with a great life lesson, and hence its name, adverse situations happen so that we become stronger. Throughout our lives, we are not exempt from experiencing moments that involve joy, euphoria, rage, death, love or sadness. And that means that in the face of how unfavorable the wind can blow, it is always possible to reconcile ourselves with life. Accepting the things that happen to us is the key to avoiding emotional stagnation that prevents us from growing as human beings.
It is not an easy task, and as I always say, it is easy to say it, but not to live it. They are experiences that mark us, but reconciliation with life is an act that must always be present, otherwise life would become hell for us. What we want is tranquility, that nothing steals our peace, understanding that we can always find new opportunities, love beyond death and accept that we are not eternal.
I saw this movie at a meeting of friends, after seeing it we had to discuss it among all of us to understand the message that I wanted to convey. This means zero distractions to be able to understand what it is about. We saw it with the light off because it was with an overhead projector, I was grateful in a way because that way they didn't see me cry. But what a surprise I got when they turned on the light and I saw that there were many little tears jumping over there, teary eyes that told me @ hylene74 you were not the only one who was moved. This film combines several genres, the drama is present in a very obvious way, but fantasy and romance also enter the scene. There are very emotional moments, but it also makes us let out one or another smile.
