      Next stop, the kingdom of heaven? ? ?

      At the beginning of the film, I was attracted by the creativity of the story - there is such a place, which gives all kinds of passers-by three days to look back on their lives and choose the most memorable or happiest past. out of that moment. Due to the pedigree of Internet people, the next whole process has been caught in the confusion of whether this is a business opportunity and how many audiences there are.
              That's all, even if we draw inspiration from movies, throwing it into...

      It turns out that every country has its own "hell messenger"

      "Next Station, Heaven", is an early work of Hirokazu Koreeda. A literary film in 1998. The deep literary Japanese version of "Ghosts". [laughing]

      That is, there is an organization that gathers people who have just passed away in one place. These people will be here for about 7 days. The first three days are used to choose, choose the most unforgettable, important and happiest segment in the past life, or talk about a period of time. Then, people from this organization...

      The best time that can't be filtered

      Such a fantasy-themed film uses a method of almost documentary-style reproduction of reality, and uses the way of filming to preserve the best memories of life.

      If it were me, to make such a choice after death, I would also choose to stay there forever as an angel. Just like movies for me, I couldn't choose the favorite one in my heart, and the surprise of watching the movie at that time was difficult to reproduce, but every movie-watching experience was...

      Photograph the illusory afterlife world in a realistic way. The shooting is warm and serious, as quiet and tranquil as still water. The style of prose is not rigorous, but it contains a strong warmth. "Unintentionally becoming the happiness of others" is very touching. Just like the restrained character of the Japanese. Tribute to the filmmakers. It is a pity that there is no good picture quality and subtitles, which greatly affects the look and feel. Samsung and a half, watch it again in the...

      It's touching but can't be seen directly. This is a movie about movies, which tells the best memories of this life. It is also a movie about death and new life, which makes every audience feel immersed in it unconsciously. It is Hirokazu Koreeda's grasp of the rhythm of the film is also very...

      What are the moments of your life you want to remember after you die? The rhythm is slow, and the lines are infused with human concern. The technique is like a documentary, but it is kindly shot. It was Hirokazu-eda who always thought a lot about life and death. This kind of film is still somewhat too idealistic and personal, and dullness is...

    • Kenji Yamamoto, who wants to forget his past: Say I choose a memory, from when I was eight or ten years old. Then I'll only remember how I felt back then? I'll be able to forget everything else? Really? You can forget? Well, then that really is heaven.
