Watched this touching, tear-rousing movie with a dear friend today. I believe you guys have heard or read of the critics and commentaries. No doubts about their comments on this multiple-award winning movie, its good. I give.. a thumbs up!
Other than witnessing how "encoffinment" is done in Japan. I believe the director must have considered alot before producing something so bore and deemed taboo.
Well, the movie wasn't tearful the entire time, it begun with the ceremony, something unexpectedly comical occurred. Actually, I don't what's so funny. Why some people never fail to be jeeringly amused over topics/events associated with transsexual? I mean, their behavior shows nothing more obvious than their low level of open-mindness, immaturity and speaks so much of their shallowness in character. Supposed they have turned themselves into the mockery here.
It appears there's nothing with the film. What puzzled me most was the behavior of the audience around watashi. It occurred to me why people weep when they view the sadness portrayed in the film? Could it be that these roused the resurface of similar experiences and brought forth the grief felt back then? Or quero they have never experienced anything before which explains their only capacity to feel from what they sight?
No tears streamed down my cheeks. I even pondered if I were supposed to cry. Not putting a brave front la. Perhaps I have been through all that's to be felt. However, I must comment that it's very true that the closest family members do not break down until the part when the caretaker closes the coffin or have it incinerated. It's the climax of grief.
With regards to the climax of grief is in the film, personally feel it has to be the last part when Daigo performs the encoffinment on his father and that moment he recollects his memory of the father's face as Daigo touches the corpse's face.
Else, it's amirable of the Japanese respect for one another. They express their apologies with prominent sincerity through gesture and tone of speech. Besides this, i m amazed the Japanese's ceremony are performed with upmost sacrity. I believe if enconfinment practice was adopted in the local Chinese where the family members had to witness the mortician, strongly fear the family members of the departed couldn't take it. It's just too sorrowful. Also, it fails practicability of maintain the departed body in its nature stage without embeming, over customary 3 - 7 days of funeral wake.
Didn't manage to get my Gundam. Instead, Monopoly Here & Now, World Edition got itself charged to my credit card bill. Haha. Fish & Chip for dinner. Accompany of friend. All in a evening well spent.
