Emily refuse to be an eagle like Joe because they "eat bunny rabbits" and she's a vegetarian (and in her next life too) and hints that she would rather be a dragonfly. Dragonflies are predatory insects that feed mainly on mosquitoes, flies and bees. See more »Quotes

This is mainly a vehicle for Kevin Costner, who dominates the film. There really is no co-star of the movie.
Despite a film that centers around atheists and has a disappointing finish, I still found the film interesting. Knowing the ending, and that it wasn't that good, doesn't inspire me to watch this again unless it's years from now and I've forgotten the story. I'll just remember it was an entertaining movie.
Th middle part of this 104-minute movie is the best and is scary in parts. It's beautifully filmed and looks great on DVD. Also, the profanity is very low. All in all, if you haven't seen it, it's definitely recommended but I would hesitate before buying it. This is just not a film you would watch over and over.
