The unstoppable Clint Eastwood premiered another movie tonight in NYC. The director, who is a young 80,

tackles mortality in his new movie, “Hereafter”. It starts in a beautiful and peacful beach in Indonesia, but in a

few minutes the film got me on the edge of my chair in an emotional rollercoaster.

Death is something that we all share, but only few of us are willing to talk about it. So, thank you Clint for the

trip and for making us think and for not getting any religions in the story:

A massive tsunami tears through a small beach town in Indonesia, dragging a French journalist (Cecile De France) under the waters and into a fleeting death.  On the streets of London’s harsh projects, an accident causes a young twin to be cut off forever from the brother that has always guided him.  And across the world, in San Francisco, a man (Matt Damon) disconnects from life to shut out the voices of the dead. 

What happens after death?  How can someone so close just disappear?  How can those left behind continue to live?  “Hereafter” is a drama that explores three characters’ search for answers about their own lives in the face of what lies beyond. 

“We don’t know what’s on the other side, but on this side, it’s final,” says director Clint Eastwood.  “People have their beliefs about what’s there or what’s not there, but those are all hypotheticals.  Nobody knows until you get there.”
