"What happens when you die?"
This is "Hereafter", a 10-year-old boy in Google after the death of his twin brother Questions entered in the search.
Google has given many answers. Enter Baidu, the first answer is: after death, the water will evaporate and dry up.
And this movie gives us a non-scientific material response.

After Christmas in 2004, the tsunami in the Indian Ocean swept across beaches, hotels, and people on vacation on the big screen... Palm trees on a street fell magically, and the French economic female anchor was caught in the sea by the waves. .
The dress floats in the water like weeds, and the immersed projection in the water contrasts with the overwhelming tsunami, which is beautiful like a dream. The perfect computer animation technology makes Eastwood's "From Now" opened with a magnificent momentum and catching heart.
After the visual shock, the plot began to stretch slowly.
Paris, the female anchor Marie Lelay (played by Seth Francs) for the rest of her life, because there is always a scene she saw when she lost consciousness, she began to write a book about the afterlife.
In London, a single drug-addicted mother neglected to take care of her twin sons. Jason died in a car accident, and Marcus indulged in thinking about what would happen if people died. For this reason, he looked everywhere for people who could psychic.
In San Francisco, the psychic George Lonegan (Matt Dimon) would rather give up high income and reputation to work as a worker in a factory, just to get the peace of ordinary people. He repeatedly said that this ability is not a gift from heaven, but a curse.
The three people living in different backgrounds and different locations seem to have some kind of connection because of the topic "after death". Because this is a movie, the editor and the director will dramatize and create coincidences, and they--destined to meet.
George said that being able to pass on the news of someone's death is not a gift from heaven, because it brought him great loneliness. He ate alone every day and fell asleep alone in the sound of reading his Dickens novels. His special function comes from the complicated brain surgery in his childhood. It can be said that he only obtained such a gift after he died once. But he lost the happiness of normal people, because as soon as he touched the hands of others, he touched the inner world of others—especially hearing the messages of their dead relatives.
Marie used to have an eye-catching anchor job, but in her mind a pair of transparent light, rehearsal shaking, peaceful and quiet pictures appeared repeatedly. What she wanted to understand was what happened after she was dizzy. She made a special trip to visit a scientist in Switzerland. Scientists say that many people return to awake after being unconscious and see the same picture. Yes, she has already died once.

has written the Oscar for best picture nominees "The Queen" (The Queen) • Peter Morgan's screenplay (Peter Morgan) does not believe in the existence of death, but he was clever to popular attention in the West this movie The question after death is the subject. Regarding the peaceful scenes seen by people resurrected after death, it is also the personal experience of many people who have been miraculously resurrected after being critically ill by Western researchers.
Death and loneliness are not unfamiliar to the old Hollywood cowboy Eastwood. How many times has he played the single-handed and life-only lone traveler facing the sunset in the sand in the film. He is 80 years old this year, and "death" should be a question he has thought about many times. This film does not give you the answer, it is just looking for ways to ask questions. He seems to be telling stories like this: each of us actually has to face death, whether it's your relatives or natural disasters.
He asked the protagonists of the three stories to meet at the London Book Fair. George refused the opportunity to redo psychics and went to London to find Dickens's former site. And Marie read her new book "From Now on" aloud at the book fair. Marcus went to the book club to visit the guardian's child.
George touched Marie's hand and read the moment she drowned after falling into the tsunami. He finally made an appointment with Marie in a typical small square like a London Underground station before the end of the film. In the warm-toned coffee shop, stone floor, flowers and newsstand in the background, he saw them embracing and kissing.
You know, it’s a miracle to let a psychic who has read enough about the soul after death to see a warm picture. After all, it takes two people who have experienced death to suddenly have such a tacit understanding.
This movie benefits from the ingenuity of the screenwriter and director. For acting actors like Matt Dimon, this kind of performance is not challenging.
Fourth,
I just graduated from university. The summer when I was an intern at the company, my grandfather passed away the most beloved in the world. In order for me to complete the internship, my parents didn't notify me until the day he was out of the funeral. And I was separated from him by a full flight distance of the Pacific Ocean.
One morning after crying for a whole week, the sun was particularly bright. I seemed to see a mass of white light warmly caressing my face, and heard the voice of my grandpa whispering to me. At that moment I firmly believed that he had walked a long way and finally came to say goodbye to me.
If you ask a lot of people, believe that there is a soul after death, they will say that they are not sure. But most people are willing to believe that their lovers and relatives will not leave forever because of death.
This, I think, is what this movie wants to express.
It takes a lifetime of deposition before a director can express the meaning of death concisely and lightly; after death, after life, you will still be concerned.
Beloved and loved ones.
