I have always liked Japanese movies, because their emotions are the most stable among Asian movies. The most important part of watching movies for me is the control of the emotions of the whole movie. I have seen so many Japanese movies, and I have hardly been disappointed.
Before watching "The Undertaker", I just finished watching "The Twenty-Four Cities". Jia Zhangke's films are getting more and more fake and more stereotyped. I sigh, besides him, who else in China would make a film that can make people quiet Want to watch an afternoon video? Yang Dechang passed away, is Jia Zhangke's mind all about preparing for his wedding with Zhao Tao?
I have to admit that a large part of the moving of "The Undertaker" is due to Joe Hisaishi. He has always been so speechless. The cello he chose this time is heavy, quiet, and the emotional line like a tear duct leads the viewer to squeeze the heartfelt feelings from the inside out, and then from the outside. Back inside the repeated smooth penetration.
The funeral can be so beautiful.
Whether it is with a stranger, or when you are a tour guide for the last journey of your life with your relatives, with such gentle movements, such a calm mood, such thoughtful care, the deceased's face is reborn, like the snow in Hokkaido, and like The cherry blossoms on Mount Fuji, the widow said softly: You have worked hard. The endless gratitude and remembrance of the short and long life. The deceased is gone. When the confused old crematorium worker pressed the switch, the golden industrial fire suddenly lit up, and his life came to an end. All love, hatred, ups and downs, dreams, wishes, regrets, and grievances are also suddenly extinguished. There are only relatives who can't reach out and miss them.
When I saw it halfway through, I suddenly had the urge to change careers and become an undertaker, but I was relieved and smiled.
When the leaves are yellow and the wind is bleak, but every moon is full of dreams and spring. This sentence is given to the heroine Ryoko Hirosue. Long-lost name, long-lost figure.
It's been a long time since I saw a movie like this, so I wrote a short article, Ji.
