Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
besherat The film is good, but stretched to two hours, and all could fit in 90 minutes. Crawling through the film three stories. Life of a successful journalist, who experienced clinical death after writing a book about it and seek answers to questions about the afterlife. The second story is about a boy who can hardly bear the loss of loved ones. Third, the main story of the life of a young man with paranormal abilities, which can establish a connection with the dead. The fate of those three people, will be connected in an interesting way. Everything would be much better in this film, when avoid unnecessary film shots that stretch the course, or interesting stories and if the pace of events was more dynamic.
Imdbidia Hereafter is a film that I would have never thought would be directed by Eastwood, not because he's not interested in great stories, but because of the nature of the story itself.Hereafter is a three-way approach to death and focuses on how three different characters experience it. The first is the French journalist Marie Lelay, who survives a tsunami, but hast a near death experience and sees the other side, an experience that leads to a career path. The second is an English boy who loses his eldest twin in a accident, shuts down and tries to find a medium to speak to him. Finally, the American worker recently made redundant George Lonegan is a serious medium since childhood; however, he considers his gift a curse because he connects with dead people every time he touches a person, something that impedes her having a normal relationship. Their stories are presented separately until the three characters end connecting and their stories intersecting and becoming one.Hereafter is a film that does not dwell on controversy, or perhaps it does by departing from the existence of the afterlife. However, it is not dogmatic about what the afterlife is, it focuses mostly on how different people experience, see, imagine or think death and what lies beyond.The acting is solid and convincing, subtle but believable. Viewers come to empathize with the three characters, get to know them well, and develop a relationship with them. The narrative is certainly not innovative or original, but it works well because the character's stories and experiences are quite different. Certainly, the first 40 minutes are painfully slow because, until a certain point, the stories seem not to be leading anywhere. That is what I liked the least in the film. On the positive side, those minutes are the foundation of our understanding of the three characters. Yet, because the story spent so much time there, the last part of the movie, which is the most interesting, are hurried.I loved the music, most of it composed by Eastwood himself.I really enjoyed this emotive and touching story. And the ending was really sweet.
Donnie Pie This is the first movie I have watched to the very last second even after finish line to see the Warner bro's logo. Feels like every bit of this movie is just connected to me and my visions If there is any help spiritually, Warner bro's have made it sure, for me at least The beauty of this movie is to put both the believers and non believers and also the ones who were not believers once, got it through experience. This movie might not be for everyone but everyone should watch it as it has reflected everyone's perspective of how they see this world the one hereafter. There could be a lot of debate of what is true and whats not but what we can do is let everyone live their lives, inform the ones who might start believing and let it to them to choose whatever they want.
Anssi Vartiainen Hereafter, directed by Clint Eastwood, tells about three separate people, all of them touched by death, and how they cope with their expanded view of life and afterlife. Like with all Eastwood films, it's done with a minimalistic budget, which means that it's very down to earth but in no way suffering from the fact that they didn't have a huge amount of money. There are special effects, but they're rather downplayed and only used when necessary.Personally I think the story has one character too many. Matt Damon and Cécile de France's characters are the ones you care about. They have the best scenes, the best character arcs and the most interesting events overall. Whereas the two London twins are simply not as interesting, even though the film seems to think that they are. The film would have flowed so much better with just these two story lines. And to the film's credit, most of the running time is spent on those two, and all the scenes dealing with them are great. Damon and de France are both charismatic, versatile actors and their individual struggles have great cohesion, making their eventual face-to-face meeting all the more meaningful.I also really like Eastwood's style in this film. It deals with the supernatural, with the idea of afterlife, souls existing beyond the death of their mortal vessel, but it deals with it with such style and grace. It's not hammered in, it's not showed down our throats. Rather it asks the question: "What if?"Not a perfect film by any means. The London twins are rather aggravating, the story doesn't flow quite as smoothly as it should and in the end it doesn't say anything about the afterlife we haven't already heard. But, it's entertaining, it's crafted well and in the end it has something to tell you about the human condition and about our time here on this good Earth. Recommended.
