First act: The data, just the data (more or less). Chuck's Life is divided into three acts. Each one is of a different genre: an apocalyptic tale, a musical anecdote, and a coming-of-age story. In addition, this film, which adapts a book by Stephen King's kindest and most humanistic author (that of Count on me either The Green Mile) begins at the end: from the character's death to his childhood. And Mike Flanagan, an author accustomed to horror, debuts in a sentimental and fabulous fantastical register, which can remind The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Forrest Gump either Amélie.
