Dance of Death
My not so irrational fear of death
One of my favorite movies of all time is The Seventh Seal. Featuring Max Von Sydow, this 1957 Swedish film is about a man returning to his plague ravaged home from the Crusades, only to be met by Death himself. To stave off the inevitable, he engages in a game of chess with Death. I’m sure you can guess how it ends (the same way everything ends) but I guarantee it will be one of the most beautifully haunting things you will ever watch. It helped me with my perceptions of death, yet there are still a lot of personal feelings I cannot shake.
