Review of Hereafter (2010) by Ron B — 11 Jan 2012

Another Clint Eastwood masterpiece! Yes, I know, it was not all that well received and definitely did not turn into a blockbuster, I have even heard people not getting the point(s) of this movie - nevertheless, I was simply taken aback by this very deep and very powerful movie!

The three major players have all brushes with death at different stages in their lives. One becomes a very gifted psychic who becomes disillusioned by his acquired talent as, to him, it only spells death and not life. One survives a tsunami by the breath of a hair and starts having powerful visions that nobody else appears to understand or even want to try. Number three is a young boy who loses his twin brother and is in search of answers while being put into foster care as his mother is an alcoholic and needs to go into therapy. There are many twists and turns but fate does bring them all together at a book fair in the Ally Pally in London. Where will they all go from here? Go see and find out! :).
