Hereafter

Clint Eastwood is a great director. It is because it has directed films like Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, Gran Torino. It is because it has been questioned about the human condition, with a clear style, sharp, merciless. And it is, again, because he managed to build a second career that had already celebrated as an actor, he could no longer be said that had only two expressions: with and without hat.

We, on this blog, we talked about it in laudatory terms (for Gran Torino, in fact), so we had the idea to create another site, similar to "Before I look at you," and dedicated only to beautiful film, in which we used in place of Kevin as a unit of the Clint (project came to naught because, as noted, is much more interesting to write bad reviews than good).

is why regret to note that Eastwood, despite a golden moment of his career, he stumbles. It brings together a film banal, empty, trite. Hereafter, in fact, despite the usual praise criticume run, is a work that says nothing, absolutely nothing, the issue that should speak. That is not, as you might think from the title, Beyond the much-vaunted, life after death, etc., but rather the relationship of humans with this possibility. The whole film, in fact, revolves around the issue, but never reaches the desired bottom line, it being sadly - and unusually - anchored to the surface of the story.

three characters involved: a psychic (Matt Damon, quite credible) that hates to communicate with the dead, a journalist (Cecile De France) which carries the Hereafter during the famous Tsunami of 2004, then waking up in shock, and a boy (Frankie McLaren) who loses her twin brother and is desperate to get back in touch with him. Eventually, all will meet, in a move to Kieslowsky (the mold operation is decidedly European rhythms, and situations) that closes the story, and also the hopes of the audience.

Why, is it clear, we will remember this film for only the first ten, impressive, minutes, in which the computer is rebuilt the fury freak wave that shook Thailand, as if to reveal the inside, through fiction, because hundreds of television news had failed to live again: the gutted houses and vegetation destroyed, the bodies at the mercy of the current together with pieces of normalcy lost (as Cecile De France is in a coma under water, his eyes wide set a teddy bear). It was also the case for the Normandy landings of Saving Private Ryan (twenty minutes visceral monster before pistolotto an honest anti-war), or always in the Spielberg, the attack of the tripod in the War of the Worlds, a fictional one on September 11 handful of shots, that water shall be added later in yet another challenge with the aliens.

broken promises, cinema to lose. You do not understand why, for the sensitive, feel the spirits of the dead is a conviction, rather than a gift that pushed to give up fame as a medium for simple existence as a laborer, or what dark fascination leads the reporter to write afterlife instead of a book essay on Mitterrand agreed with his publisher. Nor do we share enough of the obsessive drive that moves the child above, orphaned brother (and mother-toxic, have come into a service center), desperately looking for him everywhere, wearing a hat, even venendone saved in key deus ex machina, an attack on the underground (London, 2005: There is some attention to current). And there is quite indifferent, ultimately, the same happy ending, with the baby finally makes contact with the deceased through the medium, rewarding him with the address of the journalist, the only one to have had similar experiences to her and therefore, there is suggested, can fall in love.

story is, on balance, loneliness, misunderstanding and desperate attempts to express themselves. But without the necessary pain that should accompany it. And with a whole series of captions avoidable: the jumble of charlatans known by the child in his wanderings, ouija expert Dr. Hereafter, that gives the journalist the material for the book, the long series of Italian cooking school attended by Damon to tow cook with fat and opera in the background. In addition, with the hole disappears, the original script where De France boyfriend with her at the hotel a few minutes before the tsunami, and after except for some unexplained miracle.

The afterlife is represented in harmlessly, with a kind of dark background on which to stand, diaphanous, the figures of the dead was not the central issue is sufficiently stereotyped.

bad.
