Hereafter
#1
I think the best way to describe this film is quiet broken up by emotional intensity. It doesn't really shove your face in the emotion, it just unfolds and you can react however you want. With the exception of the opening action sequence which was pretty gripping and had just some terrible moments.

There are three stories going on. There is the French story, the British story, and the American story. In the french story, a Paris reporter dies and comes back. She spends the rest of the film trying to come to grips with her near death experience. In the British story, a set of twins also experience death and they spend the rest of the film trying to answer the question why does death happen and how to cope with the loneliness when you lose someone.
Matt Damon is the centerpiece of the American story. He's an ex-psychic who got tired of dealing with death every day and now drives a fork lift at the C&H factory. But death keeps wanting to talk to him and he has to deal with that.

Eventually all the tales intersect and the people get some closure. I think the story was well told but not very exciting. Maybe I'm supposed to mull over the serious points I witnessed in the film?
So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
