Wine Doesn't Give Me Heartburn

Beyond the life of Anne Shirley


Death is something we come to all and no person who has not ever thought about what happens when we die. The different faiths are explained, scientists seek writers imagine and, as one would expect, the film also takes care of the issue.

Beyond life (Hereafter) is directed by Clint Eastwood, an artist I like a lot more as a director than as actor.
With three characters whose tragic stories happen in different parts of the world, Eastwood tells a story simple, yet simple, complicated.
bad thing about being a fan of film, is that they often go to the movies knowing too much about the plot, which takes away the element of surprise. The film introduces the characters at specific moments in recent world history very well filmed and no cheap shots, but hit by the memory we have of them.

Lelay Marie (Cécile De France), a French journalist who survived a natural disaster you need to share what he experienced during the brief moments he was dead.
Marcus and Jason (Frankie and George McLaren), London twins with a life worthy of Dickens. Because of a tragedy, Marcus left alone and pain not allow you to move on with your life. George
Lonegan (Matt Damon), a lonely man (perhaps his name playing with it.) He lives in San Francisco and has a regular job, but hides an extraordinary gift, the power to contact the dead.
Three stories linked by one thing in common, something that will unite despite the great distances that separate them and show us, as a common decision or a change of plans can change the course of our lives.

Despite the strong criticism it was a great movie. I think they were unfair to compare it with other productions of this director. This is a topic "supernatural" made as natural as possible, with narration slow and music that accompanies the rhythm and tone of the film.

What I liked? The site chosen as a meeting point of three characters, that George was a fan of Dickens Lonegan, the actions of all actors (including the brief appearance of Bryce Dallas Howard), the scene of reading Marcus (bring tissues) and , music (original and aggregates, such as Rachmaninoff, Bizet and Puccini).

A thrilling film, a credulous and incredulous. What more could you ask for?



Continuing with the theme, Never let me go (Never let me go, Mark Romanek), is a film based on the book by Kazuo Ishiguro (not read, but I recommended).
Narrated in a historic moment uncertain, tells the story of three children raised in a "private school" English. Submission, respect and obedience to the rules.
There are indications that give us the feeling that something is hidden, everything is too perfect, everything is very polished. Teachers who rebel and stories that circulate, they hit us with surprise that the pathetic lives of children are not only prospective organ donors. Auto parts are alive, those who try to raise as automatons without feelings, something time will show that it is impossible.

In the stifling atmosphere and thought the film, the three protagonists in a love triangle will grow while waiting to make your first donation.
Injustice possible death sentence that implies is painful, but they are defeated, abide by their bleak future without claims, with little hope and a resigned acceptance. Carey Mulligan is incredible, the implicit sadness in his eyes that conveys rebel cause by it. Keira Knightley and Andrew Garfield accompany them, but the weight of the film is in the character of Mulligan.

Science Fiction, ethical dilemma and drama, a vintage look, a picture somewhat monochromatic, the delicate music of one of my favorite composer, Rachel Portman, and a great performance.
A very good movie that leaves us with a sad taste in the mouth, the inability of the characters look down their arms without a fight.
