The whole film of "The Undertaker" is shrouded in a light atmosphere, without heavy tones, without exaggerated and flashy acting skills. It is quietly narrated, slowly advanced, and explained. It is worth mentioning that the music of Joe Hisaishi, which haunts the film from beginning to end, is so clear, sad but not sad, happy but not obscene, it is a real emotional expression of the East. In the slow and lyrical music, I seemed to see the blue sky washed by the rain and lit by the sun lazily. Before I knew it, my heart calmed down and enjoyed the interplay of light and shadow. beauty.

    44 hours ago, I watched this film with my family in tears. 24 hours ago, he was taken down by a car on the road with his family. The interval between life and death is often as small and ordinary as today and yesterday. What we can do is to treat the people around us gently and look at the world calmly.

    The last scene with my father completely made me feel that I can only give two points, sorry, so what if you miss your son when you die? The 2008 movie seems to have a very grand proposition, and the filming reveals mediocrity everywhere. It feels like a material from 1998, no details, old aesthetics, narrative flow account, and the meaning is just that, and the lines are finished. Looking at the director's resume, luckily catered to Oscar's usual taste.
