Reflections after watching "The Embalmer"

After reading a work, you must have gained a lot. At this time, it is necessary for us to write a review. Before writing your reflections, you can refer to the sample essay first. The following is my collection of reflections on "The Encoffiant". You are welcome to learn from and refer to it. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Thoughts after watching "The Embalmer" 1

The whole movie focuses on the concept of life and death, but there are also several positive discussions.

The first time was when Dawu watched fish on the bridge. Two fish swam desperately upstream. At this time, the body of a fish floated downstream. Dawu said to the old man: "How sad. Working hard for death will end up dying. It's okay if it's not so hard." The old man said: "It's a law of nature. They are born like this." Here Dawu fell into nihilism. We are all going to die, and the outcome is the same. Is there any point in trying hard? Since life is nothingness, does life itself have any meaning? Death is already determined, so why should we still live? But the old man answered very lightly. It is the law of nature. Yes, whether it is a fish trying to swim upstream or death, it is natural in itself. We cannot change death itself. So if we cannot change, is there no point in living?

The second part is the conversation with the president. At this time, Dawu was planning to tell the president about his resignation. The president first talked about what happened between himself and his wife. His wife was his first client as an undertaker. Death was unavoidable, but he could let her go beautifully. This was probably a consolation. Then he talked about a very common biological law. This is also a discussion on life and death. "Creatures eat other creatures to survive. If you don't want to die, you have to eat." (I have always suspected that the subtitles here are not complete) There is a concept of life and death implicit here. Death is a normal thing, and death in life is very common. It's just a matter of your perspective. Isn't the food in your hand a dead object?

When the third time was the cremation of the bathhouse proprietress, the old man sighed: "Death may be a door. Passing away is not the end, but transcendence. Going to the next journey, we will see you again." This man looked at A person who reaches the end of his life is detached and broad-minded, and truly understands life and death.

The whole film does not preach, but uses music and pictures to impress people. There are so many unknowns in life. The octopus that was obviously alive died when it was released. People who were alive a few days ago suddenly died. . The body of the lonely old man was only found two weeks later. Death is universal and inevitable, but even so, we have no right to give up life.

Death is a normal thing, and death in life is very common. It’s just a matter of your perspective. Isn’t the food in your hand a dead object? The third time was when the wife of the bathhouse owner was cremated. The old man sighed like this: "Death may be a door. Passing away is not the end, but transcendence, moving to the next journey...we will always see you again." This person who watched an individual reach the end Detached and broad-minded, he truly understands life and death. The entire film is not preachy, but uses music and images to impress people.

After watching this movie, I always feel a little uncomfortable if I don't express my feelings, because this movie really made me feel a lot.

There is a line in the film that impressed me very deeply: "Death is a door. It is not an end, but a transcendence and a new journey." This statement is a bit like what we say reincarnation! This movie profoundly shows people's respect for life and respect for the deceased.

"Encourage" is not a profession that people admire, and it is even looked down upon in Japan. The male protagonist in the film, as an mortician, did not gain support from his wife at first because she thought his profession was shameful. His friends had the same mentality. But when they saw his work process with their own eyes, their minds changed. Sincere respect for the male protagonist.

The profession of applying makeup to corpses is something that many people would never even think about! Because facing the deceased will give you a creepy feeling. Although many people say that there are no ghosts in the world, this is human instinct. After watching this movie, I admire the undertakers even more. They put makeup on the deceased, allowing them to leave the world looking their most beautiful, and also leaving the best impression on the relatives of the deceased.

The story is about the male protagonist putting on makeup for his father whom he has not seen for 30 years. The male protagonist has always hated his father because when he was young, his father left him and his mother with another woman. So every time he recalled it, he only remembered his mother's appearance, but his father was vague. His father and he once exchanged a stone, and when his father passed away, he still held the small stone tightly in his hand. Only then did he realize that his father had always been thinking of him.

In addition to the reverence for life, the story also describes the feelings between people, family affection, friendship, and love. The pain of a husband after the death of his wife, the regret of a son after the death of his mother.

There is another outstanding aspect of this movie - the music. The background music is a cello section composed by Japanese musician Joe Hisaishi. The melody is beautiful and moving, which makes people very moved after listening to it. I recommend everyone to watch this movie, you will definitely learn something. Thoughts after watching "The Embalmer" 4

People will not compare the cellist and the embalmer, and it is even difficult to establish some connection between the two, but this impression is probably based on the works of director Yojiro Takita "The Encoffiant" was formed before; as Dawu becomes more and more proficient in his work, his expression is solemn, his movements are stretched, and his steps are skillful. I believe that viewers will understand some of the charm of music performance in the details of the encoffining. If you have the experience of bidding farewell to your loved ones, you will feel More intense.

The orchestra was disbanded, and the cellist Dawu, who had been practicing piano skills since childhood, lost his job and had to sell his piano to repay the high purchase price and go to his hometown in the countryside to live out the embarrassment. Bidding farewell to the bustling city and returning to a rural town, I can't help but feel desolate every time. The sentimental desolation, the heart-wrenching desolation and the frightening silence are always lingering. Takita Yojiro also discovered this contrast and showed it inadvertently, disappointed, depressed and negative.

Fortunately, Dawu’s mother left behind a small wooden house and an old but exquisite coffee shop. After work, Dawu and his wife ate hot pot around the bar, surfed the Internet, and played the piano. The wilderness is vast and vast as far as the eye can see, with small towns dotted throughout, giving you a sense of the vastness of the world. Stand on the bridge and watch the flowing water and fish, or enjoy the snow-like cherry blossoms in the courtyard, or eat puffer fish eggs in the lush rooftop garden. When you are tired, go to the big bathhouse to take a bath and chat about old memories... The days in the small town are like falling flowers and flying catkins, calm, leisurely, comfortable and unrestrained.

The once ambitious fiddler disappears and gives way to the disdainful undertaker. The process is not easy, but it is not difficult to achieve in modern society under the background of large-scale industrialization. In cities, industrialization patiently destroys everything about beauty, art, imagination, including memories. Perhaps, we all can only restore the fairy tales that have been abandoned bit by bit in the countryside that everyone chooses to escape and yearn for.

Back to the topic of encoffining. It is understandable that we happily look forward to rebirth as always, fear and even curse death, but death is always irresistible and no one can decide the time of death. The only thing we can do is to live well and cherish every inch of time in this world. Thoughts after watching "The Embalmer" 5

The most beautiful thing is not youth, but the person in youth

People will never know who said goodbye to you after which time , I really won’t see you again. And before we even had time to say hello, we said goodbye in a hurry. Maybe this is youth: a look back, a turn, a lifetime. I don't know if you are also thinking of me when I am secretly thinking of you.

When I was young, I didn’t understand love. I just wanted to see you diagonally across the street not far away when I looked up every day. When I was free, I liked to watch you in a daze and watch every move you made. action. Pay attention silently but never disturb. It wasn't until I couldn't see you anymore that I realized how attached I was to you! Even if it’s just a back view!

I understand that no one will make my heart beat just by hearing his voice; no one will slow down his pace just to keep up with me; no one will be there for me anymore When bumped, he said naughtily to be careful. You said you were just a passer-by, but you have obviously lived in my heart. How can I forget you freely?

That is a naive thought: what belongs to me will eventually belong to me, but in the end this is just a plot in a TV series. After all, we cannot escape the trick of fate! Time is changing, and so are people. No matter how hard we try, there are some things that we just can’t go back to.

It’s silly to have a crush on one person, and even more silly when two people have a crush on each other, and those are the youth we will never go back to! Sometimes I wonder: If I had been braver, would you have been mine? It’s true that if I don’t do something now, I will never do it again in the future!

It takes one second to meet someone;

It takes one minute to get to know someone;

It takes a day to like someone ;

It takes a lifetime to forget someone.

It’s not that I still want to wait for you, it’s not that I don’t want to forget you, it’s just that I haven’t found someone who is the same as you, whom I will never forget and love deeply to replace you. Because one person occupies the entire heart, there is no room for others.

Since each other’s silence makes us miss it, let’s miss it like this!

Maybe a long, long, long time later, we will still greet each other with a smile. That feels pretty good~

-------To the Lost Youth "The Encoffiant" After-viewing 6

The Encoffiant is actually "my parents and I" and " "Me and Death". Parents are the source of our life, and death is the final destination of each of us.

The influence of the original family on each of us is a lifelong companion. The issue of reconciliation with the original family is an issue that none of us can avoid. Our parents will not live forever and will not give us unlimited opportunities. The sooner we can reconcile with our parents, the better.

My parents are the older ones, and we are the younger ones. We must respect our parents, respect their destiny, respect their experience, their suffering, respect everything they have, and we must return the dignity of our parents to them. Don't offend them, don't try to save them, no matter what they have brought to us, this has nothing to do with the status and ability of the parents.

A person who cannot reconcile with his parents is incomplete. Tolerating and accepting our parents is also tolerating and accepting ourselves. Our parents are our roots. Don't wait for your parents to leave and leave you with lifelong regrets.

The original family gives us more than just pain. Our parents gave us life, so that we can come to this world and feel so many joys and sorrows, and this kindness is enough.

Just because parents don’t express their love doesn’t mean they don’t have love in their hearts. They lived in an era when survival was the top priority, and only material satisfaction would lead to higher pursuits. Moreover, our nation is reserved and not good at expressing. We need to understand the unexpressed love of our parents.

The reason why parents are like this is also due to their original family and growth background. They may not get love from their parents. How can a person who doesn’t have enough to eat give food to others?

We can only start from ourselves, make ourselves richer, quieter and more peaceful, be an excellent ancestor, break the intergenerational inheritance of tragedy, and prevent our children from suffering the same hardships we have suffered.

We use love to nourish the "child" within us, return to our proper place, return our parents' place to them, and become children again. Let the child within grow up, no longer look for parents, no longer let children be our parents.

Being a ruling child, wife, husband, and parent is the best love for your loved ones! Thoughts after watching "The Embalmer" 7

I occasionally saw this Japanese film on CCTV6. The pace was very slow and I fell asleep halfway through watching it. The next day I searched online to watch it all. I still do. With tears in my eyes, I think this is a memorable film. An mortician is the person who accompanies the deceased through the last journey of life. In life, we don’t want to see them. When we see them, we are the most When I am sad. This is what I knew before watching the movie. Now I think, if any of my friends work in this position, I will hold his hand tightly and say "thank you".

The undertaker in the film is a cellist who has no means of living due to the disbandment of his band. Due to the pressure of life, he has to return to his parents' former home in the countryside. In order to make a living, he hides his wife and works as an undertaker at NK Agency. A job that everyone despises, he puts on make-up, scrubs, and clothes for people who died for various reasons and put them in coffins. He started to feel disgusted and disgusted, and then won the respect of everyone. The male protagonist went through a long psychological process. During this period, his wife Meixiang didn't understand and ran back to her parents' home. His friends who grew up did not understand that they looked at him with admiration and advised him to find another career. However, the old president who recruited him to enter this industry was full of love when he saw him off every time, and he raised his hands and raised his hands to express his gratitude to the deceased. People's greatest respect makes their last make-up the most beautiful moment in their lives.

Words are not as good as words, and the hero Kobayashi Daigo really realizes the profound meaning of life and the meaning of work. At the end of the film, the story reaches its climax. Dawu's father left Dawu and his mother when he was six years old and had no contact with her for thirty years. Except for a small stone, all that his father left in Dawu's heart was resentment and longing. When Dawu finally decided to see his father off after everyone's persuasion, When I separated my dead father's right hand, I found that what was held tightly was actually a round stone that he had given to his father thirty years ago. The hatred melted away, and only the deep love between father and son remained.

Dawu gently scrubbed his father's plastic surgery amidst the melodious cello accompaniment. The audience couldn't help but sigh that the first intimate contact between father and son in thirty years was actually the time between yin and yang. In the world, the life of love lasts longer than hate. Give enough love to others, whether they are living or deceased. The film won the highest award at the 32nd Montreal International Film Festival in Canada, the 81st Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and other awards. Afterthoughts. Thoughts after watching "The Embalmer" 8

When Dawu got the news of his father's death, his first consciousness was that he didn't want to go. He hated his father. He hated his father for abandoning him and his mother. He hated his father for not fulfilling his promise. His father said that he would send him a stone letter every year, but his father was absent for so many years when he was growing up.

Dawu’s female colleague also abandoned her son, and she felt very guilty about her son. She also had the same experience as Dawu's father. She also wanted her son to forgive her. At the same time, she had a psychological projection of Dawu. She hoped that Dawu would forgive her father, which was equivalent to her son forgiving herself. So she hoped that Dawu could go and see her father off.

Dawu could not suppress his concern for his father, and finally took his wife with him to see his father off.

Dawu and his son have not seen each other for thirty years. The image of his father has always been vague in Dawu's heart. He cannot see his father, and he "cannot see" his father in his heart. He "rejects" his father.

The father and son finally met, but as soon as they met, they were separated by yin and yang. Dawu still loves his father, but his hatred for his father suppresses his love.

When he was enclosing his father, he saw his father's face clearly. The moment he opened his father's hand and saw the unsent stone letter, the link between father and son was established twice. He looked at the smooth stone that his father had not sent for thirty years, and it was full of fatherly love.

Stone letters are also called stone tablets. Before people knew how to write, a long time ago, it was said that people would look for stones that fit their hearts and give them to each other. The person who receives the stone understands the other person's feelings based on the feel and weight of the stone. A slippery stone represents a stable mood, while an uneven stone represents worry about the other person.

There is someone in this world who loves him until the last moment of his life.

Dawu "saw" his father and reconciled with his father, although it was a little late. Dawu buried his father with full love for him, with tears that never fell, deep and restrained.

At this moment, it was not only his father who was fulfilled, but also Dawu. He had reconciled with his parents and his original family; at this moment, Dawu was a complete "adult", and he truly When he grows up, starting from his generation, he is a qualified and good father. He will accompany his children's growth and never miss a moment. At the same time, Dawu passed on the stone that his father did not send to his children, and at the same time passed on the love.

When one life leaves, a new life continues. This is how life is passed on from generation to generation. Thoughts after watching "The Embalmer" 9

When I eat meat now, I think of the scene in "The Embalmer": the protagonist eats chicken legs in large chunks and keeps saying: Chicken legs are also animals body, sin, sin. After eating, I played the beautiful violin and immersed myself in the plaintive sadness.

Corpse, chicken legs, violin, silence, noise, sadness. It seems that such a group of shots can only establish a connection among such a group of people with special professions. Whether it’s Japanese films or literature, there are too many themes that express an edge of weirdness and are connected to life and death. Weird and curious, life and death give people a supreme look down on life.

The frightened faces of those who died abnormally became peaceful and peaceful after passing through the hands of the embalmer. Relatives and friends looked at them carefully as they were sending them off for the last time. It seemed that it was not a corpse, but that the relative was sleeping peacefully. They sent him to another world, full of reluctance, and couldn't help but cry. .

The hands of embalmers have touched too many corpses. They are shunned by people in society, and they have also developed aversion to their own hands. However, I don’t know what kind of belief makes them want to continue this career until they can’t do without this industry.

A few days ago, an old friend suddenly felt depressed because a friend around him had cancer. Every time I saw her pain caused by chemotherapy, her desire for life and her helplessness in dealing with the illness. He is worried about the issue of death, and he studies the idea of ??"afterlife". If he is calm about his afterlife, he will definitely not have so much anxiety, uneasiness and irritability when facing the present.

Nuwa kneaded earth to create humans. If there really is an afterlife, would the embalmer play the role of Nuwa in the rebirth of the deceased? After each work, the embalmer looks at his work with satisfaction and presents them to the family members of the deceased. He brings comfort to the family members. Seeing the scene of the relatives saying goodbye, the embalmer quietly retreats behind the scenes.

Death, in the eyes of the undertaker, may be a kind of beauty!

Morticians also like to eat meat, but when they regard meat as a corpse, they will get entangled. However, they still like to eat meat and can't stop. Maybe this is also the helplessness of life. The so-called elegance and elegance Damn, the distance is so close. Thoughts after watching "The Embalmer" 10

Dawu embarked on the path of an embalmer under the guidance of the president's deception. The president was not only his professional guide, but also became Dawu's soul. At the same time, the president filled the gap and lack of fatherly love in Dawu's childhood and became the father of Dawu's soul.

Dawu had just started working as an embalmer, and it gave him an opportunity to face himself, and it was also an opportunity to resolve the biggest regret in his life.

Dawu’s first career as an embalmer was a big test for him. Although the style of painting is very funny, it is the strong contrast formed behind the funny appearance, which can better reflect the contrast. Dawu felt guilty for not being able to send his mother away after her death.

As the deep and affectionate music played, Dawu's love for his mother flowed out from the bottom of his heart. He wished that his mother would give him another chance to fulfill his filial piety, but things had changed.

When he returned home, he wanted to find that maternal love and that sense of security in his wife. The profession he pursues is also a salvation for his soul.

After experiencing so many baptisms of death, what Dawu needs more is psychological reconstruction.

He saw the salmon desperately swimming upstream. Life is so tenacious; life is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.

After completing the inheritance of life, the salmon goes to death.

Although death is the final destination for each of us, we have experienced loving and being loved in the course of life, and leaving the crystallization of our love in this world, our lives have continued and inheritance.

Japan’s sense of ritual for the passing of life is very touching. What I see is the love for the deceased, rather than just pursuing ostentation like some people in our country. Respect for the dead is respect for life.

Every job has its own value. Embalmers can rejuvenate people who have become cold and give them eternal beauty. This is done calmly, accurately, and with tender emotion. They can make the moments of separation quiet, and all their actions are so beautiful.

It is in this way that the mortician bids farewell to the deceased with respect for life, and gives his last thoughts to them on behalf of their family members, so that they can die with dignity and peace.

The embalmer is like a barber, he can only serve others but not himself. They bid farewell to everyone with the respect of life. Who will serve them on the day they leave?

The president, Dawu and their female colleagues have seen too many lives pass away. They know that living in the present is the best respect for life. They cherish life more, love life and enjoy the beauty of life.
