Okuribito [Departure]

Jul 26, 2009 02:42

I just saw a really touching Japanese film, Okuribito or the English name Departure.




It's about a man who loses his job in the Orchestra and he finds a job which is placing corpse into coffins and sending them off.

The procedure of the en-coffining is quite delicate and it really makes you feel that you have paid respect for the loved.

Being someone who used to want to be a coroner, I guess it gives me a little hope that touching dead bodies isn't that bad at all.

Kidding

But I've always found that Japanese films are so much better than the ones released in Hong Kong. The ones released in Hong Kong are almost close to rubbish, no storyline, bad script, horrible acting and really bad editing. However this film has a very good storyline and the music chosen for this film is really good.

Plus the theme song is so sweet and perfect for the film
