The movie "Dapartures" is a touching and sensitive journey into the deep heart and astonishingly look at a sacred part of Japan's cultural heritage.
After the symphony orchestra was disbanded,Daigo Kobayashi faces the fact that not everyone who has passion can become an extraordinary musician or a top artist.With his wife's support,he gives up hos premiere career, decides moving back to his homeland and searchs for another job.
By accident,he joins the line of bussiness which is the ceremonial "encoffination" of corpses prior to cremation.In desperate straits,Daigo overcomes his trepidation and begins to travel around with Sasaki.Sasaki is comically matter-of-fact but firm in his directives and the contentation that they are providing an important service to their community.Some cases are markedly traditional,featuring beatific family members in time-honored transition.Others highlight family dramas fraught with inevitable collisions,eased into unexpected conclusion.True to Sasaki's expectations,Daigo developes a deep respect for life in all its variations,and a profound empathy for people trying to make peace with the finality of death.
Through many contradictories and fights,the story discloses the vulnerability of human nature.It's a story of love,of discovery,of revelation and of the transcending human spirit,"Departues" will arouse many feelings and in the mind long after viewing it.
Losing what you love is such a great pain that difficult to endure.By seeing the process of the solemn ceremonies for the death can make you not only feel the truest emotions about human but also remind you to cherish things around you.Once they pass away,it's no use to say regretfulness.
