If I ever said any movie is the bestI'm definitely gonna change the statement right nowJust finished watching a Japanese Movie with my family,
DeparturesDirected by Yojiro Takita
Starring
Masahiro Motoki as Daigo Kobayashi and
Ryoko Hirosue as Mika Kobayashi
This is a 2008 movie that my brother bought this year.
He watched it long long time ago.
Then tonight we ran out of entertainment from the TV shows
so my bro introduced this film to us
FYI,
my brother has a very unique sense in Films and MoviesSo we watched and
Oh My God....Really,
Thank God for showing me this film.As you can see from the photos
It's a story about a man,
Daigo who lost his job as a cellist
ends up working as a undertaker actually I'm not sure whether undertaker is the correct word
The job is to
conduct encoffinment (placing the dead body into the coffin) procedure only
because of the high salary that his boss pays him
he didn't reject the job and
kept it as a secret from his wifethen
his wife left him after finding out the truth
coz most people thinks
this job is a disgusting professionbut
he persisted in his job,
helping lots of dead bodies and also their families at the same timeeveryone who witnessed him doing the encoffinment process
shows deep respect to himincluding his wifeand in the end,
his father who left him when he was a kid was found deadand he
did the encoffinment process and also
forgave his father for leaving him and his mother....
Okay,
I know I didn't really describe how touching the movie isbut my big fat tears were streaming across my faceSeriously,
watch it!!and you'll
find hope in life...and you'll
definitely change the way you look at thingsespecially if you are afraid of deathdeath of yourself, and your loved ones.....
It's the
inevitable part in life....
