HereAfter

After a near death experience, Marie returns back to her life in search of understanding as to what it was she saw and felt.
George, is haunted by what he calls a curse, although others would call it a gift. He has tried to embrace and even exploit the marvels of his psyche. But now he spends his time more as a loner, but is in search of His Dream.
Marcus is devastated by his loss and is left to live a nightmare alone with no one to talk to or share his grief with.
This story shows how death effects the lives of three total strangers.
I was so impressed with the beginning event of this movie and how it depicts our natural human instinct, the way everyone reacts. Stop- feel and hear the rumble, Stare- what is IT and what’s going on? Oh My God- RUN and don’t stop! Look back-Is it still coming? Run, run faster, get away!
I can’t imagine having the ability to ease someone’s suffering, but choosing to deprive their relief because of the personal burden it would induce. And yet, he doesn’t really wish to deprive. He just doesn’t know how to explain that, some things are just better, not known.
And Marcus, such a sweet young boy to have seen so much strife in his short life. Oh My, but how my heart bled for him throughout his ordeal, and for his resilience.
I was fascinated by their brief chance meeting in the end.
