Core Concepts explores a single aspect of a film or TV series, and how that concept has impacted the medium, why I think it is worth exploring.

The Core Concept this week focuses on the afterlife. There are many recognisable interpretations, but once in a while a film will try something a little more creative than heaven, hell, ghosts or reincarnation. Tim Burton's Beetlejuice is such a film, starring Michael Keaton, Geena Davis, Winona Ryder and Alec Baldwin.
