Regarding life, death, and the world after death, I thought there would be more depictions of religion or culture. What I appreciate is that the film does not discuss too many of these issues, but more depicts the interweaving of the living and the dead. The moment fragment, I think only "now" is a moment of thinking that crosses all issues.
In the face of death, we always have fear, the original fear rooted in us, and therefore we must support each other when we are alive, and build our family, family, friendship, love and so on. But after watching this movie, I simply wondered if when we took our final journey, no matter how well prepared we were, we hoped that there would be a concert at the end to send our life into the river of memory until the last one The movement remains beautiful.
The concert, I think this is the soundtrack in the movie and the protagonist is the cellist who touched me, but I prefer the moment of quiet ecstasy during the burial ceremony, maybe just a short silence, when the note falls again, I can feel the feeling of being alive again.
Regardless of our opinion, the film still has a pose or angle that makes us think about the frame that we are alive in.
