Okuribito

Ohhh, the movie's really nice. Watched in on Friday with RC and boy I wondered how many times I cried.

It was a really touching movie depicting a story of a cellist who lost his job and went back to his hometown. He then got a new job which he couldn't accept at first, but after that, not only him, but even the audience will learn how to appreciate such jobs.

And the job is to be an encoffineer. Which means, to prepare a corpse and put it into a coffin. By preparation, meaning, there is a ritual to be performed and part of it is to beautify the dead to look as good as they were when they were alive.

Every body had their own stories, and they really wrenched my heart.

Really, you guys should watch it! And prepare some Kleenex, you'll definitely need it.
