A Partida , Okuribito filme!! Thrilling and sensitive!!! A must see!!!!

Assisti ontem e .......... esta história é tão tocante e delicada quanto a música tema do filme. No ritmo da melodia e sem muitas palavras, o terno silêncio emociona à medida que os gestos e expressões falam mais alto...
Incrível!!! A cena da "pedra"me fez lembrar do querido "Juan Orviedo" que ensinava e acreditava na magia e energia que elas emanavam... A troca das pedras e o significado que elas encerram em si mesmas (veja cena abaixo) é simplesmente linda.... a bond symbol of affection and sensitiveness .... for good(forever)...


" O filme é uma lição sobre amor, afeto e as barreiras que o orgulho (e a vergonha) podem formar para separar durante uma vida – pelo menos a terrestre – as pessoas que se amam." (by Alessandra Odega)

WHAT IT'S ABOUT?Daigo loses his job in a symphony orchestra and decides to take off in new directions. He moves back to his hometown with his wife and answers an ad with the word "departures" thinking it's for a glamorous job in the travel industry. It turns out to be an open position for an "encoffiner," who prepares people for cremation. Needing money and taking on this new challenge without telling his wife, he soon develops a new respect for people of all kinds, one that will come in handy when the emotional issues of life and death hit very close to home.


WHAT'S GOOD?Director Yojiro Tokita has worked in a variety of film genres, but nothing prepares you for the lyrical rhythms of Departures, an enlightening and deeply satisfying movie of many small, unexpected pleasures. If the deliberate pacing seems slow, give it a chance to creep up on you. This is a film that doesn't wear its heart on its sleeve but earns our tears honestly and in real time. It's ruminations on how we die — and how we live — while rooted in Japanese culture and customs that couldn't be more universal or relatable to anyone with a pulse.
