Fearless (br / pt: Sem medo de viver )
Fearless is a 1993 film directed by Peter Weir and written by Rafael Yglesias from his novel of the same name. It was shot entirely in California.
Rosie Perez was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Carla Rodrigo. She lost to Anna Paquin for The Piano. Jeff Bridges' role as Max Klein is widely regarded as one of the best performances of his career.[1][2][3] The film's soundtrack features part of the first movement of Henryk Górecki's Symphony No. 3, subtitled Symphony of Sorrowful Songs.

[edit] Plot summary
Max Klein is a survivor of a plane crash. Many die, including his business partner. The trauma transforms his entire life. He enters an altered state of consciousness; soon after the crash he even thinks he is dead, and begins rethinking life, death, God, and the afterlife. Existential questions start to preoccupy his life. He moves away from his wife, son, and friends but, encouraged by an airline-contracted psychiatrist, he tries to break the depression and apathy of another survivor, Carla Rodrigo, who lost her baby son during the flight. Eventually Max's increasingly dramatic attempts at pushing the boundaries between life and death succeed in jolting Carla from her uncertain state. However, after parting company with Carla, Max remains preoccupied, which endangers his relationship with his wife and son. Max has another extremely serious near-death experience after eating a strawberry, resulting in a severe allergic reaction. He survives and (it is implied) recovers his emotional connection to his family and the world.

[edit] Historical connections
The doomed flight in the movie bears many resemblances with the real-life crash landing of United Airlines Flight 232 in 1989:
- The plane suffered a failure in the hydraulics system, following an engine explosion.
- The crew attempted an emergency landing, and many of the passengers and crew survived.
- A man receives media coverage for saving the life of a small child who is supposed to be a real-life survivor. This child, in real life was Spencer Bailey. In real life, the man was Lt. Colonel Dennis Nielsen.
- The plane skids into a cornfield.
