Well Mr. Eastwood has finally done it. Shot three different countries impeccably, scored an exsquisite soundtrack, utilized a great script, and single handedly given Matt Damon the role of a lifetime. In seeing the trailer the picture looks to be an akward science fiction film. But ladies and gentleman let me tell you that it's the kind of film that reaches out and grabs your heart!
Critics will argue the film is to cheesy and try to destroy it, and cite that it is a Hallmark Card. They can all be cool and miss out on one of my top 5 films of the year!
I will argue that Eastwood has delivered his best film since "Unforgiven" "Hereafter" is a serious contemplation on mortality. The film for me personally was not so much about life after death, but about the emotional moments that highlight one's existence. The scenes between Damon and Bryce Dallas Howard were some of the most gut wrenching of the year. I believe the cooking class sequence between the two of them had a 1950's air of innocence to it. Damon plays a man who is haunted by his past, but he must utilize his gifts to serve his soul!
Pop the cork on the bubbly for Mr. Eastwood because Dirty Harry just used an ice pick to reach the peak of the Mountain called SUMMIT CINEMA!!!!
