if there is heaven

Hereafter is a new work by Matt Damon. Was excited to see the poster two weeks ago. Three seemingly unrelated stories, one in San Francisco, one in London, and one in Paris. It is a reflection on the ultimate meaning of life. George is a psychic medium. He used to make a living by talking to the dead. He used to be all the rage and gained both fame and fortune, but because he wanted a normal life, he gave up his high-paying job and became a worker. Macus and Jason are cute twins, but have a drug-drinking mother, Jason was killed in a car accident, Macus couldn't accept that his brother had left him, and he was depressed all day long. Marie has psychic abilities after experiencing the tsunami of life and death, and seems to be able to lead to another unknown world, surrounded by illusions, and quit her job as an anchor to start writing. The title of the book is Hereafter.
The three eventually met at the London Book Fair. With the help of George, Macus had a conversation with his brother, finally relieved and understood that he was going to continue his journey of life. The movie was fixed on the first date between George and Marie.
The deceased is gone. We are still alive. If there is a heaven, I believe we will meet there.
However, I see the tangle of life. Those who are alive must go. George is worried about the layoffs, Marie is sad about the poster being replaced, and Macus is sad about not being able to see his mother. And in the end, they all found the direction of life in the dialogue with the past. Do we need to seek the courage to live on our own, or do we have to rely on other people's prompts to follow suit? If life goes smoothly as we expect, will it lose the unpredictable beauty? If disasters can make people grow, do you choose to accept or escape?
Countless events have shaped who I am today. The ex-boyfriend said, you are mature. I laughed. Eight or nine years ago, I was arrogant and arrogant and reckless, because my life at that time had not yet shown a hideous face. The change three years ago completely defeated himself and reshaped himself. Although I also have a twin brother, he can't guide me. Asked him at the crossroads what he would do if he were me. He said he would stay, so he stayed.
I still go.

    George Lonegan: Okay, he came back. He's here. He says if you're worried about being on your own, don't be. You're not. Because he is you and you are him. One cell. One person. Always.

  • Billy: Did you do the reading?

    George Lonegan: Look, you still don't get it, do you? You think just 'cause I can make money doing this... just because I can, that I should do it.

    Billy: [shrugs] Yeah, yeah I do. I also think you have a duty to do it, because you have a gift.

    George Lonegan: It's not a gift, Billy, it's a curse.
