Can you feel it?

The cello rang softly, and your icy body warmed into the furnace.

boom.

Goodbye, this world.

You turned into a pile of powder.

When a person leaves this world, and when it comes, they are just one person. We leave our story behind, but it doesn't matter to others. A person's departure cannot prevent others from staying in this world. It just makes you think about what we are here for and what life is all about.

When you closed your eyes, did you feel the cruelty of this world?

When you took your last breath, did you feel the warmth of this world too?

With such full of feelings, people finally turned into powder. The story of the world has nothing to do with me from now on. Time can't play tricks on you anymore.

Poverty, wealth, trouble, depression, eccentricity, ridicule, love, beauty, pain. In an instant, these will cease to exist.

Is life like a dream?

    Since death is something everyone has to face, why bother struggling with those meaningless things? The wine I drank, the people I loved, the energy I wasted, the remnant thoughts left behind, the unseen future...all these things will disappear one day. I seem to see the rose falling on my eyelids, making no one sleep. There are the lives we have been attached to and attached to, and there are deaths that we cannot escape.

    Thanks to "The Undertaker" for giving me a deeper understanding of life! ——I can’t forget the first time I went to Beijing in April 2011. In the exhibition hall of the China Film Museum, I listened to "おくりびと~memory~" and "おくりびと~memory~" in a loop, thinking that I was so close and far from my beloved movie. The longing dream is so far away... I cried for a while alone in the corner. —— 2014.03.10: The first act was sentimental; Kobayashi Dawu encountered setbacks and difficulties in his work and life, and it was very gratifying to have such an understanding Meixiang to support and encourage him... Kudos to Hisaishi's soundtrack! —— 2021.11.05: I haven’t watched this movie for many years. In March, I learned that the re-screening was going to be introduced in China and I was looking forward to the re-review on the big screen. As a result, I waited for more than half a year to finally watch the movie as I wished. Unsurprisingly, "The Undertaker" brought me to tears again, and the tissue paper prepared in advance just came in handy. The human feelings in the story are warm and cold, life and death are separated, and after many years, I have a new experience and feeling, and Hisaishi's soundtrack is also the existence that makes me cry. → Some memories will fade after a long time, and some are still very impressive.

Departures quotes

  • Yamashita: People are talking.

    Daigo Kobayashi: About what?

    Yamashita: Get yourself a proper job!

  • Ikuei Sasaki: This is done in such a way that the family does not see. The anus must sometimes be blocked. The cotton wool is rolled, and pressed deep into the anus. This prevents seepage.
