What is life? Life is nothing but a process, birth and death, an eternal law of operation. While we praise the colorful life, death exists all the time, you can choose to ignore it, you can choose to forget it, but you cannot escape. The "Ode to Joy" at the beginning of the film is a compliment to life. When the plot unfolds, the breath of the rising sun and the vibrant light are exactly the things that flow and run around everywhere.
At the same moment, countless creatures landed in this world, but at the same moment, countless creatures left this world. We can't see it, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It is precisely because of death that living is such a precious and beautiful thing, and it is precisely because it will be lost that it must be possessed with piety and gratitude. Eternal and unchanging, only time keeps flowing.
Playing the cello as a child, through this "object" carrier, let the protagonist return to the past of childhood, in the memory of the child, looking for the proof of the existence of the past, recalling the journey of life, it is really not easy. As for the dead, the dead, the memories of their existence remain in the hearts of everyone. Everyone you meet in your life has shared your life with you. It originated from a slight nod when we met, and it was because we never looked back when we faced each other. Among all beings, eye contact and a slight rubbing shoulder are easier said than done, life is never easy.
At the end of life, it cannot be saved. When the soul crosses that door, the body will no longer respond, even if all the pasts you regret, all the pasts you cherish, are gone and gone. die. All dust is cut off. All we can keep is the sound and smile, unable to say goodbye to the soul, looking forward to the response of waving goodbye. So the mortuary devotes himself to the dead but still concrete body, wipes the body of the deceased with gentle techniques, gentle attitude, and gentle smile, changes clothes, puts on makeup, and sends him on his way gratefully at the last stage of his life. .
There are two details in it, which are very thought-provoking. One is to use the lipstick that the deceased used to make up for her, and the other is to help the proprietress put on her scarf when she entered the mortuary bath. It is in the carrier of these "things" that the memories of relatives and friends about their lives are evoked, and they once shared her/his life. Now, she/he is going to travel alone, carrying all the memories of her lifetime, through This door, from one world to another. In other words, from this journey to the next journey. Life is just a journey. Relatives and friends have accompanied you to see the scenery of life, but in fact, everyone has the moment of ending, and they cannot escape and cannot escape.
The melodious cello is slow and gentle; the accompaniment of the piano is smart and leisurely. How to deal with our life, how to deal with our life, is the meaning that people who have a heart will never change. If you are going to die, why rush to play, slow down and walk, you will see more beautiful scenery around you.
Here not only pay tribute to the Japanese nation, they are thinking about life, thinking about life, thinking about the philosophy of death, and the attitude of living. As an ancient civilization with a splendid culture, we have abandoned many cultures that originally belonged to us, and impatiently copied foreign cultures to decorate the facade, but we do not know that the big face is actually a clown. It does not mean that blindly adhering to the tradition is a good thing, the key lies in our attitude towards traditional culture. If you are not religious to your ancestors, how can you think of national cohesion and self-esteem in the contemporary era?
The ancient culture is the memory that we have walked all the way as a Chinese nation, on tortoise shells, on bamboo slips, in dingwen, in silk... These histories stored in words are part of the splendid culture. But it is only the evidence of words, which can only be formed in consciousness and passed down from generation to generation through educational publications and media. And our ancient buildings are real "things". The historical significance contained in it, through the narrative of the environmental space, takes you back to the past and understands the will of the ancestors. If words are a virtual medium, then cultural relics are a real medium. The virtual and the real are isomorphic, and we can know that it is not easy for our ancestors to go all the way. Today, it is easy to destroy it.
Gone, will not reappear. Compared with modern buildings, heritage buildings are like death relative to life. Its function no longer exists, and its use environment is no longer available. It stands there in the waning years, watching us go to work, generation after generation. Then, the historical memory it stores is not just what we can see today. Following the changes of the times, it knows what happened in the past, it carries the memory of the ancestors, it carries the wisdom of the ancestors, and it carries the meaning that even if it is bland, it actually existed. Can we treat our past with a simple bulldozer? It's like watching your relatives, bundled up with straw mats, and thrown into the stove, do you have the heart? Are you willing? I'm sad.
Yes, metabolism, the cruelty of history lies in this, there is no thing that exists forever, Li Dai peach is stiff, the old past is always less attractive than the fresh present, and the outdated will eventually be eliminated. In this way, we no longer need morality and righteousness, we no longer need to respect the old and love the young, people are strangers to each other, society will no longer have integrity, there will no longer be mutual help, human affection is weak, and rituals are broken. Efficiency, effectiveness, effect. A utilitarian attitude will only make life empty, society will become corrupt, and the history we are writing will no longer produce history.
