Things You Think - When Life Departs
-
0:15 - 0:17[Young child]: Um..You see,
-
0:17 - 0:19there was this dog
that I was really fond of. -
0:20 - 0:22And when they told me that he died
-
0:22 - 0:25I cried a lot after that.
-
0:31 - 0:32[Young child]: When you die,
-
0:32 - 0:34first, you feel all floppy.
-
0:34 - 0:37And then, you go...and then you go stiff.
-
0:50 - 0:52[Girl]: Everybody dies at
some point or another. -
0:52 - 0:55[Boy]: There's a illness called "cancer"
-
0:55 - 0:57and you can die very quickly from it.
-
0:59 - 1:02It must be very powerful, or something.
-
1:04 - 1:07[Young child]: And babies don't really die a lot.
-
1:07 - 1:09Um, only when you grow up.
-
1:09 - 1:12Um...Well, you...you just get too old for your age...
-
1:12 - 1:15...and you die, but babies don't die much,
-
1:15 - 1:17so...your brother mightn't die.
-
1:18 - 1:22When they told me
that my little brother had died... -
1:22 - 1:25...I thought that they were just joking
and having a bit of fun. -
1:28 - 1:31When I holded him, he was freezing cold.
-
1:32 - 1:35And then I realized that he was dead.
-
1:36 - 1:40But when they put him into the coffin, um...
-
1:40 - 1:42...it made me cry a lot because...
-
1:42 - 1:44...I had to..I had to say, "Goodbye."
-
1:53 - 1:57[Young child]: I believe in life
after death, definitely. -
1:58 - 1:59Well...
-
1:59 - 2:01..when you're lying in your coffin...
-
2:01 - 2:04...it's like you wake up again.
-
2:06 - 2:09And there's a lift beside you.
-
2:11 - 2:13And you step into this lift...
-
2:15 - 2:17...and you go up, up into heaven.
-
2:22 - 2:24[Young child]: Imagine you're in a tunnel.
-
2:24 - 2:26You walk through it, and then...
-
2:26 - 2:30there's a huge city
straight in front of you. -
2:53 - 2:56[Young child]: You might meet
your granny, or.. -
2:56 - 2:59...granddad that died in 1939.
-
3:03 - 3:04[Young child]: Um...
-
3:04 - 3:06I think you can't really walk up there.
-
3:08 - 3:10I think God gives you special feet...
-
3:10 - 3:12...to walk around up there.
-
3:12 - 3:14And..and there's this big cloud...
-
3:14 - 3:16..that you can play football on, like me.
-
3:27 - 3:29[Girl]: And I think,
if you're buried up in heaven, -
3:29 - 3:32you drop straight down to Earth.
-
3:32 - 3:35[Boy]: I think that when you die,
you lie there and rot. -
3:35 - 3:38And your..then your soul
flies up to heaven. -
3:39 - 3:42Or maybe down to the devil,
if you've been bad. -
3:44 - 3:47[Young child]: There is really a lot of
embers and fire and lava. -
3:47 - 3:51Because deep down in the Earth's core
is where Hell is... -
3:51 - 3:53..and there is a lot of lava.
-
4:02 - 4:03[Boy]: It's horrible.
-
4:05 - 4:09When you're in hell,
the devil locks you in a cage, and... -
4:09 - 4:11You...cry out for help.
-
4:11 - 4:15And...and then he
pulls a lever, and everything goes... -
4:16 - 4:17...."PFFF."
-
4:17 - 4:20The devil wants a person
and God wants a person... -
4:20 - 4:22...but it's best to go up to God.
-
4:29 - 4:32[Young child]: I think
God looks like an old king. -
4:33 - 4:34A very old king.
-
4:38 - 4:42Maybe his brain has been cut up
into thousands of pieces. -
4:44 - 4:47I don't know how many people
are in the world, but... -
4:47 - 4:53...one of the piece thinks about you,
and another thinks about someone else. -
4:55 - 4:57[Young child]: I don't think
there's a God. -
4:58 - 4:59[Boy]: I went 'round,
the whole time, -
4:59 - 5:02...screaming in pain,
'cause my head hurt so badly. -
5:08 - 5:10It's hard to decide what you want to do.
-
5:13 - 5:16Whether to go to heaven,
or stay with your mum and dad. -
5:19 - 5:22But, you can see if you'd prefer
to go up there, and be better.. -
5:23 - 5:25...or stay down here and live your life.
-
5:28 - 5:31[Girl]: Well, I went down
to the water's edge. -
5:31 - 5:34And then, I just saw these two clouds..
-
5:34 - 5:37..that looked like
my great granny and granddad. -
5:37 - 5:39And then, there was this
other cloud that just.. -
5:39 - 5:42..came up behind it, and it, uh..
-
5:42 - 5:43It looked like a chair.
-
5:43 - 5:47And it looked like they were just
sitting on the chair, waving to me. -
5:47 - 5:50But, some people just say
I'm superstitious. -
5:51 - 5:54[Boy]: I think that when you die,
you can come back to life... -
5:54 - 5:56...as a girl...
-
5:56 - 5:57...or a boy...
-
5:57 - 5:59...or a spider...
-
5:59 - 6:00...or a mouse.
-
6:01 - 6:03Or something.
-
6:10 - 6:12[Boy]: Maybe..maybe my brother..
-
6:12 - 6:15..could come back down
as a duck. -
6:16 - 6:17I don't know, really.
-
6:17 - 6:20And then I could keep him, maybe.
-
6:26 - 6:29I put my hands together,
and I say, -
6:29 - 6:32"Please, please, God,
-
6:32 - 6:35can I talk to my brother
for one minute? Amen." -
6:38 - 6:40Sometimes. um..
-
6:40 - 6:43I dream about my little brother,
-
6:43 - 6:44and when he was really, really tiny,
-
6:44 - 6:46I used to play with him.
-
6:46 - 6:49and I used to teach him, um, how to walk,
-
6:49 - 6:51but I know it was a bit soon...
-
6:52 - 6:53Um...
-
6:54 - 6:55...but that was fun.
-
6:57 - 6:59[Girl]: I think a soul..
-
6:59 - 7:02..is like a thing inside your body.
-
7:02 - 7:05Like a ghost, really.
-
7:06 - 7:09[Boy]: You can't live without a soul.
-
7:09 - 7:11That's what I believe.
-
7:15 - 7:19[Boy]: It's...your soul that
makes your heart beat. -
7:20 - 7:23Maybe...that's what kills you...
-
7:23 - 7:25...your soul getting weaker and weaker.
-
7:26 - 7:31[Sounds of children playing,
a girl jumping rope] -
7:39 - 7:41[Girl]: Well, to tell you the truth...
-
7:42 - 7:43...I'm not that scared of dying.
-
7:43 - 7:46I mean, to think of all the time I have left.
-
7:46 - 7:48I..I'm not scared about it, not now.
