I said that this film is the director's good hope for the world, full of goodwill, so that the originally bleak facts make people feel warm.
Sending away the lonely old man who had been dead for 2 weeks, the son sending away the mother, the parents sending away the child, and all kinds of men, women and children, Xiaolin used his kind hands to briefly extend the life of the deceased, as if they never left. But really can't come back. Whether it was loved deeply or neglected before death, there is no going back. So beautiful, but gone. How heartbreaking to accept this fact.
"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's delicious, it's so embarrassing..."
"Just like the door, as a gatekeeper, I have sent many people away here, saying, be careful on the road, we will see you again... "…"
I cried so much that I couldn't speak. When the grandfather pressed the green button, my body tensed: I am so reluctant, but I have to say goodbye to you with my own hands, be careful along the way, and I will see you again. You don't have to know how sad I am, as long as you can travel with peace of mind. I'll take care of myself like you love me so much.
So beautiful, but gone. Is there anything more heartbreaking than parting ways?
Fortunately, this is a well-meaning director. In this paradise-like town, among these kind-hearted people, this young couple lives closely together. They are the only ones who have not been separated. I'd be devastated if they split up again. Although it is difficult for me to understand the prejudice against the profession of the mortuary, when Mei Xiang left Kobayashi, I was still a little angry: You don't understand or have seen him at all, so why call him dirty! Then she left, showing that the influence of the world is really powerful. I was really puzzled at the time that Mei Xiang, who was so supportive of her husband, actually left her husband so ruthlessly. Such a docile woman should calm down and experience it, or share something with him. Of course, she's done enough that we can't force everyone to be that strong. When she was convinced of the future of the two, the blow was indeed huge. What's more, at that time, Xiao Lin did not strengthen his determination to this profession. He even forbeared the fact that his wife left him, just like his father abandoned him, he was at a loss, he loved her deeply, and she did not want to see her leave. Go, he should go after her, but he doesn't know what to use to keep or find her.
However, both of them were lucky. I would say, but when they are together again, they should thank each other.
Thank you, even though I lied about the price of the piano and my profession, thank you for staying by my side, respecting me and affirming that I love what I do.
Thank you, although I left you at your most difficult time, but thank you for having become so confident when I needed you most, giving me your persistence and strength, giving me and my children the most determined respond.
The young couple walked to the end of the film holding hands, and the director gave us this good-natured ending, although there is no denying that these are quite idealized characters. Of course, this film is full of idealized details, and there is no malice in the kind-hearted people, although they sometimes have the cowardice to face the past and accept the reality.
What a wonderful hope~
