Hereafter

I am stuck on a gloomy vein of films and this is one of them.  I need some flowers, sunshine, puppies, and...and a pint of coconut chocolate chip ice cream.  Okay, the lives of 3 people in different parts of the world are followed: there is one who can reach the dead, one who was and came back, and finally one who wants to reach the dead.

A few classic lines are:
1.  One character has a gift that brings enlightenment and benefit to others, but when it is used, it results in pain to him.
2.  One character is willing to give it all up in order to pursue a path less travelled.
3.  One character suddenly loses the buffer he was able to hide behind and now must suddenly man up and fend for himself and can he do it.

This is Close Encounters of a Third Kind (1977), meets Rainman (1988) meets My Bodygaurd (1980).  As soon as the movie started and I met the players, I knew their lines would cross and that I was in for one of those "will they meet, won't they meet, ah come on Ron, you know they will so stop wondering" deals.  That was okay, the acting made up for it as did the cinematography.  The cinematography was awesome by the way as it really kept the mood and feel of the movie intact.  The directing was good as was the acting.  The script was good too.

The tough thing is really recommending this as a must see.  I can't.  If it is there in the house, see it.  If you have to make too much effort to get it, don't.
