"Hereafter" Begs the Age-ol- d Question of What Happens to Us When We Die The Casual Critic by Daryl Austin "Hereafter" Probably the most diffi-cult part of my job as a critic is having to say anything negative about the films done by the Hol-lywood directors I respect most. Clint Eastwood, (Gran Torino, Unforgiven) is certainly one of the greatest big-scre- directors of our day. With film after film, he never ceases to amaze and in-spire me. . .until "Hereafter" any-way. "Hereafter" begs the age-ol- d question of what happens to us when we die. Yet, ironically, the movie doesn't seem to have an answer to its own question. Most of the film is about death and how the loss of a loved one may affect you, but you never re-ally see anything beyond this life and into the next. Furthermore , the film builds and builds to the kind of ending you hope will be there but never really arrives. "Hereafter" follows three stories: One of a psychic, (Matt Damon, The Bourne Trilogy, who has a genuine ability to communicate with the dead, another of a famous French news reporter who has recently had a near-deat-h experience, and lasdy of a young boy who has just lost his twin brother and aches for his return. As Eastwood explores these perspectives of death, you find yourself intrigued by each story. You also realize that you aie tru-ly invested in the well-bein- g of each struggling character. This is one of the many skills East-wood has mastered. He makes you care. But in spite of your concern for the characters, too little happens too slowly. Of course, "Hereafter" is beautifully directed, and there are sincere and appropriate per-formances by everyone. The story even has great moments, but it simply isn't enough, and soon you find yourself worrying that you might actually end up in the hereafter yourself before you finally reach the end of this film. Content: Rated PG-1- 3 for one use of the "f word" and an opening sequence involving a t scene of mass destruction . Other Opinions: 648 "Aver-age Joes" give this film an 8.3 out of 10 while 136 professional film critics provide an average score of 51 percent out of 100 percent. Should you see it? If you have been affected by death in an intimate way then "Hereaf-ter" will certainly have moments of personal significance that will touch you. If you are looking to be entertained though, than I'd steer clear of this one because you probably won't be. For previous reviews please click www.casualcriticmovies . com.

As a medic, Brant has experienced the other side of war and has a perspective that is all too of-ten unheard and unreported. When asked what the flag means to him, he asked that I visualize a scene too often repeated on his small Base in Afghanistan. The medical staff had worked on two wounded soldiers with the tragic loss of their lives and as the bodies were pre-pared for transport, the sol-diers stand on either side of the runway, forming a corri-dor from the hospital to the helicopter. The flag-drape- d bodies are then slowly conveyed on the stretcher along the almost mile-lon- g row of soldiers standing at attention. Just like the changing of the guard at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, each man or woman slowly raises a hand to salute as their comrades pass by. Everyone on base stops to honor the fallen heroes, those who have paid the ultimate price. With a passion born of experience, Brant heralds the service men and women as some of the most wonderful citizens the country has ever known. This is the first war not to have a draft, and nine years later, the military is still volunteer. The soldiers are there to defend our free-doms and bring freedom to other nations. They are cer-tainly not there for the glory. As we display our flags this Veterans Day, may we think beyond the fabric to the men and women who have served in the armed forces, making a sacrifice and even giving their all that we might be secure and free. Respect the flag by learning the prop-er etiquette, then honor the flag by learning what it truly stands for. |
