When I watched it several times later, my friend asked me if I would like to do this kind of career in the future. I also discussed this kind of problem with my parents before. Funeral workers and prison workers have a common feature in similar occupations: High salary. I asked my dad whether you would do it if you were short of money. He said it would depend on how much money I was short of. I asked why. My dad said that I didn't live to make money and suffer.
So I don't really understand Kobayashi-kun. If it's the president, at least it's because of his dead wife, but Kobayashi-kun is not desperate. If it's just because of the president's personal charm, it's a bit far-fetched. He was slandered, his wife ran away from home, and he even threatened the child in his womb, but he still did not give up. It was amazing to find that the president was really good at seeing people, and at a glance I found the gentle power of Kobayashi-kun.
Kobayashi-kun appeared on the stage as a gentle and uncontested man. When the band was facing bankruptcy, he just wanted to help the band to promote it. He didn't think about whether he should find a good job first. The impression he left on others was that of a gentle guy. That's what he saw. The mortuary master really needs infinite tenderness in his heart and great love for the world in order to persist.
Looking at the family members who were still abusing at the beginning, the childhood friend who insisted not to let his wife and daughter say hello, and the wife who ran away from home and admitted that he respected him little by little, I realized that as long as you respect others, others will naturally respect you. When the people at the funeral company rudely took Xiao Linjun's father away, the wife said, "My husband is an undertaker." Since then, he has recognized his profession and recognized his husband.
When I watched the movie, I felt that this kind of life was so meaningful. It's been a long time since we talked about meaningful work, and now who are we looking for meaning? But this work is too meaningful. They all say that funerals are for the living. Yes, it is for the living. Let the living see the last side of the most beautiful dead. any regrets.
Having a career as rewarding as this is truly worth a lifetime of struggle for it.
What made me cry in the film was the loud cries of the family members when they saw the deceased come back to life, but the pebble that really fell down was what I cried the most. The dying father still held the stones he exchanged with his son 20 years ago to accept his son's love. Maybe it was a failed father. The failed extramarital affairs caused him to never see his wife and son again in his life. After his death, there was only a small bag of relics. He was tired from work and lived in poverty Even after death, almost no one died. Xiao Lin Jun mentioned more than once that he was a failed father, but it is strange that when Xiao Lin Jun recalls his childhood, he always thinks of his father. Although he can't remember his father's face, the figure does linger. Xiaolin-kun should have always loved his father as deeply as his mother. At the end of the movie, it was also discovered that his father had always loved him so deeply. At his father's funeral, the father and son finally let go of their past suspicions. I think his father will be at ease when he arrives in heaven.
It’s embarrassing to be delicious. It’s what the president said about puffer fish white (I was still thinking about when I would be able to eat fish white or eat so much fried chicken when I was watching the movie, the world of foodies). But If I had to describe this film in one sentence, I would only say: It's hard to watch.
