one would have to be old: how Clint Eastwood . Done everything, everything reached, nothing to prove anymore, but still well in the juice and with time and leisure to do what you just want to still do so. Film-making, for example, that tell a story or two, good stories with interesting characters. The man is doing now for ten years championship. And for each of his films, the stories speak of his joy and affection for his characters.
His current work with the subject in the title: Hereafter: It's about the afterlife - or more precisely, to the death. Eastwood follows the stories of three people who were confronted with death and thrown out of the path thereat. The French journalist Marie-Star Lelay (an incredibly Cécile de France -present) is collected on an Indonesian market in a breathtaking sequence of the wave of the tsunami and stayed for a brief moment in the intermediate area between life and death, before coming back to himself. Outwardly she is recovering quickly around, (very powerful woman) dynamically back to the office - but in reality is shaken too much in her, and she realizes that she will not have peace until it is not their near-death experience got to the bottom . At the same time it considers that it mercilessly placed in the esoteric corner. In London, the twelve year old Marcus is lost in an accident, his twin brother Jason, and thus were, the Half of himself, for it was always the eleven minutes earlier, Jason, who was the younger protector and leader of the poor living in the dilapidated social settlement with the drug-addicted mother. The mother must be in the therapy, the son in a foster family, but nothing can bring him out of his twilight of grief. George Lonnegan (Matt Damon, somewhat restrained) from San Francisco finally has the inexplicable gift of being able to communicate with the dead. So much money to do what his brother-seeking business for boldly taking on the hand. But George is the gift of such a burden and a curse that he would rather malocht as a warehouse clerk in the port and otherwise accessible abkapselt more of the world and man.
The movie moves between the three life without bustle back and forth, she followed with a masterly camera work, it is characterized with well-composed colors and precise images. And toward the end, he lets them effortlessly, almost casually, can come into contact, leaving the three lost souls help each other out of their lostness. That he has still not totally thrilled me, lies in two things, I think. First, who wants to tell a half hours, three stories, each individual is very little time. Thus act the characters, although they are drawn with short strokes, very precise, in the few minutes that we each see a bit one-dimensional. Moreover, secondly, that the stories lose occasionally in secondary lines, which do not contribute much to the whole - for example, Melanie, Georges cooking course acquaintance: it is introduced into a beautiful, long sequence persuaded him then at the Rendez-vous to a dead contact receiving and taking heard from shocked to flight. Certainly, it illustrates once again and the great curse of Georges special gift, but remains in the dramatic structure of a somewhat lost foreign body.
is Hereafter primarily a contemplative film, one that is peaceful and open to questions and suggestions are incidental. Us he has nothing of even in a long, intense and personal discussion out, and this is perhaps the best thing that can bring about a work of art in general.
Technicals: Hereafter is still running in many theaters in Switzerland. Caution: There are present in the film phenomena can be explained rationally only with difficulty. Diehard atheists look might prefer something else I must have been so eleven, twelve years old, an ...
