Watched the Japanese movie 'Departure' on Okto yesterday night.
It is actually about a guy working in an orchestra and one day, when the orchestra went broke, he had to go and find another job.
The job is find is like an Undertaker.
Which involves putting on make up on the dead people and putting them in the coffin.
Its not a scary film though, in fact, its a touching film and it tells us how fragile human life can be.
This man, Daigo, was abandoned by his father when he was little because of unknown reason...
And he kind of hate his father in his life..
His father promised to give him a rock every year.
A rock which comes in the form of message of how the person feels for him, in other words, how the father feel of his son.
A smooth rock represent that he is happy with him and a rough rock means he is confused...something like that.
Towards the end of the movie, someone sent a letter to Daigo's home, informing that his father is dead.
Filled with anger at first, he refused to go and see his father...
But after some careful thinking and persuasion, he rushes to the fish port where his father had died.
When he saw his father, he really cannot recognize him because, he only seen him while he was little, and can't remember clearly of course...
Also, he said, wonder what is father is doing in his whole life anyway...leaving just a box of stuffs behind...
Then, the undertaker came in, not his son, but other people.
The undertake are very rough handling with his father 's body and his son finally cannot stand it anymore and push them aside, than Daigo's wife tell them that, his husband is a professional at this.
While he is unclasping his father's hand, he notice that he is holding something in his hand...and a stone drop out from his hand...
Drops of tears drip out from my eyes at this part...and at the same time...Daigo too...
Perhaps I'm poor at elaborating the scenes...but the last part is really sad.
I'm afraid that my parent will depart too...I really don't know how to face these if it really happens...perhaps my whole mind will be blank?...
My dearly beloved sister...I really hope you could be by my side...at all times...always together.
Stick with me through my whole life...
Wouldn't it be nice?
2 People, who could be with each other without any hesitation...
