His grave was empty, but full of ghosts

(Spoilers, beware)

"There are eight million people in this city, eight million loneliness, and eight million ways to die."

First time wanting to write something for a movie. as a small feeling.

I refuse to call this a comment. (It's not really a comment, just to put some screenshots that I like.)

I don't know where I heard about this movie, I haven't read the synopsis, and I found it in the download list when I couldn't stop reading the book.

"A Quiet Life" may give me a little peace.

The first three funeral scenes made me feel like a cloud, what does this guy do? Why keep showing up at funerals? Why is he alone?

The pastor also praised him for his good choice of farewell music?

He said to give those people (already ashes) a little more time?

Until a phone call solved the mystery of his identity.

Blame my ignorance. I really didn't know such a profession existed.

He collected the remains of the deceased, and based on these items alone, he wrote eulogy for fresh activists. As if we knew their lives, how they lived.

It was he who preserved the last dignity and decency for the "missed dead".

John, who seems to be meticulous and serious, is actually very cute.

Stoke is a lunatic in the eyes of outsiders. After leaving the job, he went to pee in the raw materials of pork pie, and hung on the third floor with his teeth on the belt to raise money for charity.

John was very surprised when he found out.

He also had a plan when he saw the car of the boss who told him he had been fired parked on the side of the road.

He even tried to hang himself with his teeth on the belt himself. (To be honest I thought he was going to kill himself when I saw him take off his belt.)

Those little details that echo. Both Stoke and their daughter use books to cushion the sofa.

After watching it, I felt a lot more peaceful. I really like the style of the whole movie, and the background music is also good.

(severely cured obsessive-compulsive disorder)

A man who goes to great lengths to find relatives and friends for the deceased is seen by his boss as slow and useless.

A man who deals with people who die alone ends up dying alone. No one attended his funeral, only a group of ghosts came to reunite with him. The loneliest funeral is also the most lively.
