Hereafter - Review

Three different stories separated geographically but in the end will have a common thread. A journalist survived the Tsunami will start a declining phase of his career accompanied by the shock of the experience that has escaped, and began to wonder what lies after death (episode which has provisionally power). A young worker has to live with her gift of psychic curse that prevents him from living a truly "normal." Children after the tragic loss of his twin brother, looking for someone able to help him to resume contacts with him.

The "King Midas" Clint Eastwood continues to amaze dealing with different topics each time, with " Hereafter", his latest film, it was the turn of the afterlife. What is there after death?

I say more bad that the director-eyed ice is beginning to ask these questions because of his advanced age, we are good, however, we know that the big Clint likes to test and address issues always different!

With him still Matt Damon for the second consecutive time after " Invictus," the biopic about Nelson Mandela in 2009. Together with Matt, Cecile de France and George & Frankie McLaren.

2008, Eastwood is not the one that had given us " Changeling" and the wonderful " Gran Torino" Eastwood is more of the " Invictus" that lets you see the movie but pleasantly without excel.

The problem with this latest film comes from the immediate loss of its main purpose, and focus exclusively on the personal stories of three protagonists. Stories that do not work so well, that belonging starring Damon. Another failure is the inability to be able to get up to excite the viewer, something that Eastwood has proven to do very well in the past.

Hereafter's got some good moment, able to shake the viewer. And strangely always comes through the story of little Marcus. I refer to both the perfect introduction to the initial presentation by the family until the tragic death of one of the twins. Then the great scene of the London Underground (the best in the film), then useful for the pre-final scene in the hotel room between Marcus and the character Matt Damon.

The problem is that Clint would expect more and more (rightly so). After all when one produces such films as "Million Dollar Baby ", "Gran Torino ", " Changeling" and "Mystic River is automatically guilty of the enormous expectations of the public!

This time we are not on those standards. There is a rule, however, and it is right to continue to respect it. If Clint Eastwood makes a movie you go to see . It is not pandering, but simply respect for a teacher to whom we can not blame a good movie just because it has made excellent.
