This is probably my least favorite Hirokazu movie, weirder than Virgo. The movie "Next Stop, Kingdom of Heaven" tells the story of the last stop in the Kingdom of Heaven, the deceased in the world search for the memories that represent the meaning of their lives before they can reach the Kingdom of Heaven. First of all, in terms of expression, this topic is not enough to be Hirokazu Kore-eda, it is too illusory, and it is not what the director often pays attention to, how living people reconcile with life in their families. Although the characters can stand up and can feel the real connection of life, but in such an environment, it is equivalent to telling the audience that the story is fake, so it has no resonance. Either it should be related to the present world, or the characters should also have new stories in such an environment. The group play around memories in a purely fictional space is meaningless.
