The Life of Chuck

Based on the 2020 novella of the same name by Stephen King, this is a cinematic take on the understanding that we each create our own universe.

It shows how each of us lives inside the mind of everyone we’ve ever met, how connections are made in the mind that may or may not have actually happened, and how our experiences in childhood continue to color our perception and imagination until we die.

Told backwards, chronologically, it takes the viewer a few beats to put together what is happening, and when it’s over, we’re left with something to think about. Is that how it really works? I think not, but it’s still a clever way of visualizing the concept so it can be considered and discussed.
