Another nice show that i've watched so far. This time round my dear have chosen a good film (wahaha, out of so many weird ones she have chosen). So give her a round of applause would you! =)
Anyway, this movie won the Oscar for the Best Foreign Language Film of the Year (2009) Japan. So this movie is really good and definitely value for money because of its quality.
Warning! (If u wanna watch this movie, pls do not read below! *contains spoilers!)
Being an professional for funeral services is definitely an unglamorous job that no one wants to pick up the trade. This movie portrays that a mortician who shows professionalism is the best respect that one can show to the deceased family. In this movie, it shows the beauty of the trade (maybe u would wonder if there is any beauty to it?!) and the ugly side of it (where i believe u will know more of the ugly side of this trade).
Pastor Kong shared during his series of God for Ancient Chinese about Emperor Kang Xi mention to the missionaries that Chinese honor the dead is not a form of idolatry where the missionaries being too religious does not take in thus they missed a great chance to win China for Jesus. After watching the show, i agreed that why would there be sin in honoring the dead? By honoring the dead, it's the best respect, comfort and love that one could show to those closest to the deceased.
Life and its reality where we should really cherish those who are alive and love them. Death is not the final destination for us... its only the beginning, but for those who are alive should live life to the fullest!
Oh, by the way, Ryoko Hirosue acted in this movie. Although my dear says she looks old already but i beg to differ. I feel that she is still very pretty and sweet... but of course... my dear is sweeter la... wahaha
