One flower one world, one leaf one bodhi.

What is the most cherished memory?
If your next round of life can only take it on the road.
Is it the sunshine when sitting on a bench with your lover?
Was it a cloud drifting over when flying an airplane soaring into the sky?
Is it the petals falling from the sky when walking alone on the path?
Is it the breeze blowing from the swing deep in the bamboo forest?
Or is it just a warm current from the bottom of my heart and a smile on the corner of my mouth?
Like... the fleeting green light in Rohmer's lens?
It just so happens that the happiest one, the person you love is the same as the one you choose?
Perhaps the happiest thing is not a thing at all.

Everyone has such happy moments. They tasted it silently and cherished the bottom of their hearts. Maybe you will never notice it deliberately in your life, but you can only wait for such a crew to film carefully one by one, and then send them on the road.
Outside the door was foggy, and another group of deceased came to report, repeating life and death endlessly.
Seven days after God created the world, man has seven pounds of soul. In seven days, you will unload your bag and set off lightly.
In "The Enemy" we see what is precious. Likewise, those staff members patiently talked to the dead, learned their feelings, and cloned their happiness. They searched for videos, contacted actors, set up scenes, and made props. They were meticulous in every procedure.
Even as detailed as the style of the skirt and the shape of the clouds.
If there is such a crew, how good. In life, how many people can spend three days thinking about their happiest thing?

They are respectable and pathetic. Those who look for memories for others cannot find the memories themselves.
Mochizuki just came to work for a year. She couldn't find the most precious memory in her short life. So she stayed. She immersed herself in the water to seek the safety of a fetus. She was lost in the busy street, she was crazy out of control in the snow under the clear blue sky. Lizhong has been here since World War II, never getting old again. Terashima cares about his toddler daughter and sticks to the promise of a father.
"Unfortunately, there is another person who wants to join us." There will always be people who refuse to carry their memories on the road.

It is Zhi Yuhe's ever-changing style, and it is the eternal love of life that precipitates.
"The Next Stop of Heaven" is a movie about making a movie, it is a reflection on death. There is no sensational soundtrack, no drama conflict, no big cost, no separation of life and death. The rhythm was slow, and after a sentence, the camera did not see any movement for a long time.
Even most importantly, when the short film they worked so hard to shoot was about to be screened, the camera cut away extremely abruptly.
At that time, I thought, like "The Hangover", there will be an overwhelming atmosphere at the end of the film, right? Xu Shi played several violins, and the back seat of the theater sobbed one after another.
but. The sparse subtitles rose up, and the complex mood sank.
——Who said no——The happiest thing is not a thing at all. You alone can take it, and you can go to the unknown heaven.

    Shouldn't be watching it in the noisy train, it's not nice to me, it's not fair to it. The first half is like a documentary interview, which outlines the operation mode of the transit station in the kingdom of heaven. While chatting a little, Arata, who is in his early twenties, said that he is the same age as the old grandfather (he looks like a combination of Fruit Planet Band Yongqiang + Grapefruit) , the heart is instantly shaken, as if to find the spiritual code to unlock this film, and to filming and showing the happiest moment of each deceased person, it is Hirokazu Kore-eda so tenderly that people feel: film is the art of carving time, it reproduces the memory of the past, Showing the joys and sorrows of mankind. If death is inevitable, at least be thankful that the first stop in the kingdom of heaven is a movie.

    There is a feeling of style but lack of temperament, inexplicably seems a little pure love - and it should not be in this state

After Life quotes

  • Kenji Yamamoto, who wants to forget his past: Say I choose a memory, from when I was eight or ten years old. Then I'll only remember how I felt back then? I'll be able to forget everything else? Really? You can forget? Well, then that really is heaven.
