Japanese movie (watched 02/19/08)

perfect description of a memory (in this case, an event)

After people die, they are sent to a place where they are told to pick their best memory. When they leave, this will be the only memory they will have. The staff at this place tries to recreate everyone's memory. Most of the people are cooperative but one 21 year old is not. He claims that a memory is obviously real but that creating a thought from the future can be just as real as well.
I think this is a pretty cool concept because during life, most people don't have or take the time to sit back and review their life. They don't have time to savor good memories and dwell on bad ones.
-the smiles (especially of woman in red dress) during recreated memory
-the videos of their life (i wish)
-letter to man about wife
-he finally learned that even though HE didnt have a happy memory, he was part of someone elses happy memory
