When Clint Eastwood makes a movie, you got to sit up and watch. For ever since his early directorial venture, Unforgiven, Eastwood has proved himself to be a storyteller of import. He takes up serious issues and tackles them with a rare sensitivity which stands out in stark contrast to his cowboy cult.
If the last time you heard him raising a gun against racial discrimination in The Gran Torino, or applauding the leadership of Nelson Mandela in Invictus, this time you hear him out in hushed undertones as he scripts a soft, sensitive and sentimental story about loss and longing. How must humans face the fears of their own mortality and cope with the death of their loved ones: that's Eastwood's million dollar question in Hereafter. More importantly, he tries to explore that great philosophical dilemma: Is there a hereafter; if so, are humans happy out there....
