Hereafter

1. Hereafter, from now on, live an understanding life and no longer face a lonely life alone. The child finds warmth, the man escapes from loneliness, and when there is understanding, reading may also become a tolerable curse. (I guess)

2. Death is not the subject of the film, but loneliness and understanding. Each protagonist faces loneliness. True understanding comes from "empathy," which presupposes love.

3. Matt Damon is really not good-looking, but watching him act is very enjoyable. Maybe he acts really well?

4. The ending is really beautiful. The male protagonist was on the street. This was the second time he saw the female protagonist. The latter was looking around on the street. The male protagonist wanted to stand up to say hello, but he put down his raised hand. The camera cuts to different angles, each angle is the perspective of the male protagonist, and the music is slow and long.


About empathy.

This idiom is often used, but the real empathy is so simple. After reading my friend's log, I wrote about my feelings when facing the departure of my loved one. I think, there is a kind of pain, one is that I don't want to "share" with others, and the other is that when the pain and helplessness surround me like air and I can't break free, there is no reason, and no words can play a role in diluting or even disappearing. of.

There is no point in writing these, and I complain a little after reading it. The movie feels good.

    This is probably the least Eastwood style of the Iraqi film, and the grasp of emotions is surprisingly convergent. Although the narrative is not refined enough, it is surprising that the father has become more calm as he shoots.

    The film skillfully intertwines the encounters of the three people in different countries, and explores the mystery of death. has an independent meaning.
