close to death

Only after watching the movie did I know what kind of profession the mortuary was, and after seeing the work of the mortuary, I realized how important this profession is, or how great it is.
Treat the deceased like relatives, probably this is the purpose of their work.
They do things in order, and bring the last good to the dead with an almost obsessive tidy.
I don't know how to comment on this movie, but I was moved by the tears of the hero when he was buried for his father. A cold and warm job brought him only respect for the dead, but when this person is himself When you were your father, no matter how much resentment there was, you hoped that he would be well and leave well.
At the end, the small stone is especially beautiful when it is held in the hands of the pregnant wife.
No one would want to do this job, like a movie-goer who always finds it frustrating and even dirty. The director used the entire burial procedure to make people obliterate the original idea, and in this way, proved the power of such a film.
The person in the play said:
The dream that I insisted on at first may not be a dream later. To
rejuvenate a person who has been cold and give her eternal beauty, it must be calm and accurate, and it must be tender and emotional.
So when sending off my father , he shaved his father's face, tears dripped on his father's face, touched his father's face, and wept bitterly.

    The women in there are too instrumental.

    This is not a bad movie. It expresses the value of life through the ritual and routine of death, and finally settles on the family relationship between father and son after 30 years of separation. If I were a screenwriter, I would still focus on professionalism and the meaning of life, and finally arranged for Dawu to personally send off the leader of his career, President Sasaki, and strengthen his professional confidence, and gradually understand the meaning of life in the process. Some passages of the film are too lyrical and appear false, such as playing the cello on the grassland, which is boring to watch. The idea of ​​the stone is good, and it is cheap to use for tearing, see you. Behind the sense of ritual is the neat and orderly calm of the soul, which is dictated by occupation, and the dignity of life that the living need to interpret throughout their lives.
