HEREAFTER

"HEREAFTER"(2010/U.S.A)
Synopsis
A drama centered on three people who are haunted by mortality in different ways. George is a blue-collar American who has a special connection to the afterlife. On the other side of the world, Marie, a French journalist, has a near-death experience that shakes her reality. And when Marcus, a London schoolboy, loses the person closest to him, he desperately needs answers. Each on a path in search of the truth, their lives will intersect, forever changed by what they believe might-or must-exist in the hereafter.

The hero was a psychic and he could not lead an ordinary life because of his gifts. So he quited his job as a psychic and tried to be a normal person. But he could not escape his fate. 
The heroine had an intense near-death experience and her life was changed. She wanted the people around her to know the truth but the things that she had experienced was a taboo subject especially for a journalist like her.
The boy lost a twin brother and wanted to know what it feels like to die. He started to find information about a psychic on the internet.
The three story proceeded separately and one day, three people met each other.
In my opinion, they had been hurt very much before they met, so it is very hard to find a person who can understanding their feelings especially for people like them.
This movie was not an occult, but it was about totally different people who met each other by chance.
I like this movie very much, but I was shocked in the scene of the tsunami. That was very realistic and I was scared.
In Japan, this movie was released last February, but after the big earthquake and tsunami in Fukushima, this movie was discontinued because of the scene. Indeed, this may be very sad and painful for the victims.
But the end of the movie was not bad and it made me so happy.


My rating: ★★★
