Throughout her journey through life, man goes in search of answers to find an explanation for everything that is unfamiliar. It's part of our nature, is completely inherent in us. Why we have spent much of our history on earth trying to find an answer to what happens after death. And that is quite simply because there is no greater mystery than this: what will happen once we become ashes?. As no one has ever returned from the dead to tell which is exactly what is on the other hand (if, indeed, "there something ") I have introduced a set of beliefs to try to explain to the time that is part of life itself: the moment of death. Hereafter
- the latest film from Clint Eastwood - is a movie about people who go in search of that answer on people who have experienced death and wants to find an explanation of that experience. But Eastwood goes further. Interested in the moral dilemmas that afflict humans, the film's exquisite American director faces the phenomenon of death from three different perspectives: that of someone who has lost a loved one, the one who has been "dead" for a few minutes and a man who - according to the plot - makes it through the barrier that divides the living dead, so he becomes a curse.
Eastwood is a director who has a great ability to engage the viewer with its characters. Usually do so led to the intimacy of the same, through well-planned delicate frames that portray the moral and emotional struggles which are facing the protagonists of his films, which causes one to identify with the stories told on screen.
In Hereafter Eastwood weaves three stories with delicate patience. know Lelay Marie (Cécile De France ) a television journalist who has contact with death during a Tsunami. Following this time, try to make sense of their experience. It becomes the character that is an explanation of what has happened, which desperately needs to find a logical answer to what we have seen, what you felt while you were clinically dead.
other hand is George Lonegan ( Matt Damon), a psychic who has the ability to communicate with the dead which is not allowed to have normal relations with the living. That has led him to resign his "gift" and retreat into a dark and almost hermit life. Lonegan try to return to life by giving up what death means to him. His crusade will be to one who tries to find out what the real reason for the capacity it has.
Finally there is the story of Marcus ( Frankie and George McLaren ) whose twin brother died unexpectedly and tragically. Marcus thus desperately seek an explanation for what has happened, but above all begin a search for trying to understand what has happened to his brother motivated by the enormous need to know if he is well and at the same of time by having the opportunity to say goodbye.
Perhaps many might think that Eastwood made a film about death, it is not. Actually Hereafter is a film about life, and particularly about how the living deal with death. It does show us a woman who makes everything that makes it successful to give new meaning to their existence. It does so through a man tormented by his own ghosts and you want to give a radical change in his life and so forgotten that the fate of others and to find yours. And it does so through a child who has to buy almost immediately the necessary maturity to deal with something as painful as it is the loss of a loved one. That's three people in urgent need reasons to be alive, do not you need them all?, Are not we always in constant search for understanding our own reason to exist?, Do not always try to find an explanation for a situation complex, an extraordinary event that removes our deepest bowels? And these searches are further amplified when one must face the ultimate experience, the most painful but also the most hopeful. Because, as Eastwood puts it in his film, death is a beginning for those who stayed if we delay a lifetime to try to understand.
an achievement ...
