It seems that I am not the only one among friends and acquaintances, have remained puzzled by the last film by Clint Eastwood . I would say that after much testing done, Hereafter did not touch the unique artist that I expected.
History of stories that come together, it is not surprising to improbability, but irresolution for narrative and descriptive character. Hereafter about a psychic, George (Matt Damon ) tired of living life only through contact with the dead and live it for others. Or, to be perhaps more accurate, speaks of the impossibility that one can deprive a similar case. On the road the young, in fact, workers being dismissed, captain of men and women unable to bear the separation from a loved one, that's asking for help, a word, the certainty that there is more, than the certainty that their contact with him is a life. George, well, still struggles with the feeling of being a tool, not able to be anything other than himself, a man cursed, not benefited by the gift he receives.
A woman journalist assaulted a child in crisis and will eventually run into the psychic, the twisting in a three-run structure of the film, which is knotted on the difficulties, impotence, anxiety not to make it on the one hand, the sincere desire to succeed, win and win the other.
Everything about George, seems to run in a world indifferent to what has, to what exists, but parallel to its insecurity, certainty of others is something that is wrong in the lives of those who live, something that, at some point, took an unexpected way. In particular, the determination of Marcus (played by Frankie and George McLaren, both of exceptional skill) to try the only solace of his life, his brother Jason, moved by its freshness and its strength. And the reporter Marie (Cecile de France ), each with its parallel encoding and interprets the battle of man against his own gift.
Hereafrer presents a world in which it is impossible to meet without going through the person standing next to us, without trivializing to reduce it to the instrument. But over the bark, go beyond the way in which life appears to us is, in the case of Clint Eastwood, or impossible due to the size of the pathological and dell'abnorme (we had already seen in Changeling ). Director, writers and performers are not asking for the public to believe what they see: in the show, certify that the phenomena veri, a cui è giusto, nell'ambito del film, credere. Ciò che invece domandano agli spettatori è chi sia l'altro che sta loro accanto, dove sia, e soprattutto cosa accada ora, ora che un altro giorno comincia e le sfide si ripresentano. Per essere un film su ciò che accade dopo , con la caratteristica reticenza ciò che si tace, la morte, Hereafter è, come quasi sempre in Eastwood, un film sulla debolezza umana e sulla necessità - per ciascuno - di contare solo sulle proprie sfide.
