Labia Stretching Steps





In these days I'll fill some of my time with the soundtrack of Hereafter, the latest film by Clint Eastwood. The entire album is made around the same theme and variations on a composition of the director whose inspiration lies in turn on the famous Piano Concerto No. 2 by Rachmaninov .

I was lucky to find a director like Clint Eastwood movie of the early eighties called Honkytonk Man (The Last Song). Movie underrated, virtually unknown on a singer in search of redemption in a decisive moment of his life, a story marked by dusty harshness typical of a country ballad. A work odd and irregular for a time in which the starring actor-director is a regular action hero, is nevertheless one of the earliest work in which we find anything that would make him an author without peer in contemporary American cinema history.

I suppose that Eastwood's films fall into two categories. The masterpieces, pass the latitude of expression, where we find titles such as Unforgiven, A Perfect World, Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby and also the adaptation of The Bridges of Madison County - and who was not moved to do the following farewell Please mark already a psychiatric consultation. To this list together yet separately, the extraordinary Gran Torino, his film-will that is a whole philosophy of life and the works that will mark a future reading of the great film Dirty Harry.

Hereafter will not be part of this first division of works by Eastwood but is still a film worth discovering. Minimal work on three characters hanging on the border of life for various reasons, a simple story of the link between people living on the horizon between this and another place. The film does not fail to bluntly criticize the proliferation of sham and charlatanism that surrounds the world of the supernatural. But similarly challenges us to question what we have for granted, that which transcends us. Either way, it is a work that shows us one of the last great humanists of American cinema, able to look at what is not seen to expose the weaknesses of what it means to be human.
