For me, this is the remake (web)
29 March 2018
I watched Always first and so this is the Spielberg movie that builds my feelings.

It's interesting to have cinema experience backwards because the retro effect is much more powerful than following the timeline.

Here, i'm surprised to see that the 2 stories are really look alike: a daredevil, a buddy, a woman in love and as skilled as the guys, a robe, a new love and for sure a lot of planes, surely the motivation of young Spielberg to discover the movie. Indeed, sometimes, the movie recalls me 1941 and above all Empire of the sun.

But here, the big change is the location: it's not about firefighters but soldiers!

And the beyond is not about one solitary angel Miss Hepburn but the after life of all deceased soldiers!

This original background is not that essential because fighting fire is someway maybre more cruel and powerful but the beyond world is much more believable: the old pilots taught the young pilots!

As for the cast, Spielberg gives more fun but in a way, Dreyfuss could never have been a soldier! And for me, Holly would remain the best Lorinda ever because the original actress may be good, she is behind for the fire level!
