Influential Master, it sounds like a pretty scary name. Terrible, because this profession is related to death. People are always naturally resistant to everything that has to do with death. Death is one of the things people fear most. Because it is unknown, no one knows what death represents to people; because it is full of sadness and parting, relatives leave and never come back, those familiar things are annihilated and nowhere to be found. No matter how much reluctance, material demise is inevitable for anyone.
It is such a film with the theme of becoming a teacher and the theme of death. It is not gloomy and scary when it is made, but it is warm, calm and touching. Even at the beginning of the movie, he burst out laughing, and it was too unexpected to be restrained.
The male protagonist in the movie turned out to be a cellist with an elegant temperament, and his eyebrows were quiet. After losing his job as a cellist, he accidentally became a teacher. He is indeed suitable for the job, and every move is solemn and elegant. Wipe the face of the deceased, seriously, as if facing a long-lost old friend. Don't go to loose hair for him, hold his hand lightly, as if the person who has left can still feel your nostalgia for him. He was so devoted, undressing the deceased, drawing his eyebrows, putting on heavy makeup and being careful little by little. His tenderness gave the deceased the greatest respect.
People can't understand why he does this job, it's a contemptible job. In the beginning, he couldn't face such a job himself, and even after approaching a long-decomposed corpse once, the violent stench made him vomit. When his wife found out about his job, she said to him: It's dirty. Ask him if he can tell his children about his work in the future. She, who has always supported her husband, resolutely asked him to quit his job this time. The man who once played the cello gracefully in the symphony orchestra did not accept his wife's objection, and even if the wife left, he persisted this time.
He will never forget that time and time again. In the process of convergence time and time again, he understood everything. Understand love and death. I understand the beauty of admiring a group of roadside ducks drinking water and flapping their wings. I can't forget that scene. It turns out that the passing of life can be so peaceful.
An old grandmother passed her life peacefully, lying peacefully beside her relatives. He put on the last makeup for her. When wearing socks for the deceased, the granddaughter of the grandmother said: Grandma said that you should wear stockings at the funeral. The sad atmosphere suddenly became warm. Finally, facing the peaceful and beautiful grandma, the whole family sent a farewell speech. Grandma, goodbye. Grandma, hard work. They said goodbye to their dear grandma with a smile, telling her to go quietly and happily, we will live a good life, don't worry.
And another deceased old man. At the end of his life, he obtained the red lip prints of a large and small family. A word from his wife: Thank you, the child's father, for expressing a deep affection, a true affection that has remained unchanged for decades. The old man has taken care of his wife and children all his life, and this thank you from his wife can be regarded as a successful end to his life.
There are also regrets.
He put on makeup for a lady and asked her husband to get her usual lipstick. Her husband was stunned, but in the end it was her daughter who took it out. This is her most beautiful day. Later, the deceased's husband said so. When I saw this, I felt a little chill in my heart. It's not how ecstatic Shi Lian's makeup skills are, but how much he cared about her. Did you not know how beautiful your wife was until her last face?
And the mother-in-law of the bathhouse died suddenly. Her son watched the moment his mother was cremated, and finally burst into tears, turning into a sentence of sorry. At that moment, he understood that his mother had left him forever. Confession became the theme of nostalgia. I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the indifference to you all the time, I'm sorry for your desire to keep the bathhouse running, and I'm sorry I can't be by your side at the last moment. . . But no matter how much I'm sorry, what's the point of putting it here.
So is he. He left his father when he was young and died in a foreign land. He resented his father's departure. But finally, under the persuasion of everyone, including his wife (who also began to understand the honor of being an entomber after his mother-in-law in the bathhouse), he became his father's entomber. His death brought back the son he cared about all his life. He quietly said his final farewell to his father, and there was more than sadness hidden behind a series of rituals. He opened his father's tightly clenched hand, and a small pebble slipped out, which was his father's promise to him. When he was young, he told him that he would find a stone for him every day. It turned out that my father did not forget, he has always treasured it, and held it tightly until death. But he never went to his son, maybe because of guilt and shame. For a lifetime, the father and the son are lost between life and death.
The merits and demerits of life are only seen at the last moment. Whether it is husband and wife, father and son, mother and son, it was only at the last moment that they discovered what they should have seen. The sting of death makes people's stubbornness and senseless attachment seem so insignificant and ridiculous. Life is only a few decades, and there is really not much time to waste. In this life, what have you done, I hope you will not see through it when you die, what is the most precious.
We don't know what death really is. Farewell or rebirth. Is it to leave a room and enter a new door? Can those who left us meet again one day? we do not know. Those unsolvable mysteries of life and death, the incomprehensible parting of life and death, since they are powerless to change, just let it go. Time goes on and on, true love will always be in my heart.
Because you are born to die, you have to live harder.
Life is short, hurry up, do only the things you like, and only be with the people you like.
