The performance was very tense, and Joe Hisaishi's music was so emotional that I couldn't calm down for a long time. When I was in front of the piano, I touched it at will, and the notes played were messy, with many off-key chords, until I found a soothing and calm mood in the key of E major.
This is a question about how to face death. The scenes of the burial appear repeatedly, which makes people feel very heavy. Although the author deliberately arranged a relieved ending, it is still heavy. What does this ceremony mean? The images of family members bowing and thanking with tears in their eyes reappeared repeatedly in my mind. Is it an opportunity for all those who knew the deceased to reorganize their feelings towards the deceased? Is it a coffin conclusion in the face of the deceased's life's merits and demerits? Is it an unforgettable farewell to the deceased? I think, all of this is based on human nostalgia for life. The burial is the end of life, and human beings often don't like the end. How is it possible not to be sad in the face of the harsh reality of the end of life? So people began to recall those moments when life existed, and seized the residual warmth of emotion in the remaining air. When you have it, you don't cherish it. When it ends, you only regret it, so you cry. Faced with these solemn actions, it is very cruel, people seem to see the end of their future lives. So there was fear.
Therefore, as an undertaker, it does require great courage. Because he is faced with the fact that human beings are the least willing to face the truth every day. There is no escape, but it is more solemn and serious! No matter how good or bad this life was, whether he was close or not, whether he was ugly or beautiful. All should be treated equally with great mind and deep love. This is the so-called fearless giving in Buddhism! There are three kinds of giving: wealth giving, dharma giving, and fearless giving. Giving money is always easy, it is nothing more than giving up something outside yourself. Dharma-casting is also relatively easy, teaching people the way of good deeds. Fearless giving is the highest realm, saving people in danger, without great compassion, and with great compassion.
However, in my heart I always think of Zhuangzi's drum pot and singing, and Liu Ling's lotus hoe. Could it be that Zhuangzi and Liu Ling faced death casually? What is sadness to them? I think of the funerals I attended where my aunt cried so hard. But when he got home, he was chatting and laughing. I don't understand! But until now, to understand, the key to the problem is to go home! Throughout the movie, the scene of the burial is repeated over and over. What about after the burial? Not seen at all. Is everyone always immersed in sadness? impossible! Life must go on, why not laugh at it!
The Tao Te Ching says: "Birth leads to death". correct! Since life and death are as ordinary as going in and out, why not wait for joy and sorrow? "Jianhu is silent, and one after another opens and falls." The cycle of life and death, mixed with joy and sorrow, and the delivery of yin and yang, is the principle of all things. Do you need to be afraid? Need grief? How about grand and solemn? How about a hasty burial? It doesn't make much sense for the future.
good! Or play the piano...
