Movies, Art and the Dangerous Album

Recently I was prompted to look back at a favorite movie of mine called "What Dreams May Come".  It stars Robin Williams and is one of the best movies available about twin souls.  There is so much information that is factual it almost boggles my mind.

I went through some of the scenes, one that depicts the shared consciousness of twins even after death, when the main character paints a purple tree and Robin Williams begins to view the same purple tree on the other side.  I posted the segment below, although the narration is not in English you can still see what is happening in the scene just by viewing it.  Robin Williams has passed on, leaving his wife behind.  His spirit guide, Cuba Gooding, Jr., notices the new purple tree and suggests that they may have been twin souls.  For what she is holding in her mind, Robin Williams is also seeing.



After reviewing a few other scenes, a painting behind the bed during one of the scenes caught my eye.  I looked it up and upon further inquiry discovered something peculiar.  The center panel of the painting entitled "Garden of Earthly Delights" by an artist named Bosch contains the same image of of twins in a bubble on the Dangerous album by Michael Jackson.
