Just watched departures aka okuribito, i've heard some good review on the movie. And finally, got a weekend break to watch this long overdue movie. an Asian movie filled with death and corpse but it's not horror flick :)He sold his cello and ended his musical career, going back to his old hometown hope to carve out a niche for himself. By responding to a job ad which misprint as a travel job, he got hired as an embalmer by accident. We do know such profession, but we have negative thought to it. this film brings the profession out in such gracefulness. They handle such a unusual topic with such reserved and beautiful manner.
there's a part of the story that mentioned about giving a stone to represent your feeling. :) haha I once received a little round stone from a friend. he pick up while he went hiking for awhile. Nothing valuable, but it touches my heart. At that point, i dun think his intention was to represent his feeling. It's just something he stumble upon while trekking and thought it's rather cute in that treacherous forest. How funny it's to find similar movie element in your daily life...
Btw, quite surprise to find Ryoko Hirosue 広末涼子 in this movie. i like her in beach boys... summmer snow.. shotgun marriage... awwwww..
