has been scheduled and withdrawn several times, and " Life Events " is finally here!
Movie Producer Han Yan said that the theme of "The Great Events in Life" is more suitable for carrying our thoughts on life and death.
Funeralism and death are related to the depths of the soul, wandering between the two grand worlds of life and death.
"The Great Events of Life" portrays funeral practitioners from the perspective of professional care, creates a special encounter with special professions, builds funeral themes related to growth, and reveals the positive life and death themes of "Life is nothing big than death" , which arouses our understanding and understanding of the profession, and our perception and reflection on death.
1. Farewell and Forgetfulness between life and death: There is nothing important to life except death
Life and death are eternal philosophical propositions.
When Mo Sanmei, a funeralist who has followed her father to deal with dead people since childhood, meets Wu Xiaowen, an orphan who does not understand the meaning of death, two strangers who seem to be extremely opposite, keep warm and redeemed each other in their inexplicable company, and understand life in the separation of life and death with tears in their smiles.
All this seems to have already had the will of heaven in the dark.
They are all marginal people who have been abandoned. One is shirked by relatives and unwilling to adopt them. The other is that they are released from prison after being sentenced and are not accepted by society. The encounter between each other is like the "flower of hope" blooming in desperate situations: Xiaowen received death education , and the third brother re-recognized the funeral profession and learned to live a new life.
Regarding the issue of death and death education, Korean relics organizer Kim Wan wrote in his work record and memoir "Relics organizer":
From the moment we were born, we kept moving towards death, and this is our life.
and An Li also wrote the classic line in " Pi's Fantasy Drifting ":
Life may be about constantly letting go, but what is heartbreaking is that I was unable to say goodbye to them.
accepting death and saying goodbye to is the primary problem that Xiaowen faces and is also an extremely critical step in death education.
and the real "death" seems to have other profound meanings.
In the movie " Dream Journey to ", there is a rule about the "world of the dead": only if no one in the real world remembers you, the soul will "ultimate death".
This means that death is not the end of life, forgetting is .
This may also be the sincere expression of life and death in "The Great Events in Life": Don't forget . They just left in this world, and their greatest respect is not to forget, don’t forget all the things they once left us in this world.
caring for life from death, embracing new life in farewell, and then remembering it in your heart and living a good life.
2. Redemption and rebirth beyond life and death: Thank you, Warm Me
"The Great Events of Life" takes the funeral crowd as the entry point, weaves dreamy fairy tales with the fireworks of the world and the atmosphere of the city, and uses ordinary characters and family matters to tell the great events of life, and exposes the death that Chinese people are always taboo on the table through the little things of life.
"Funeralization" is often associated with death and sadness. The special nature of this profession determines that it is destined to be loved by others. The third brother of the funeral master was also disliked and driven away, but with Xiaowen's company, he gradually re-understood himself, truly understood the meaning of the funeral profession, and wrote a warm story on earth together.
is a coincidence. Jin Wan, the relics organizer, also expressed his professional confusion in "Relic Organizer", and reconstructed his professional cognition:
is the same as your job, and my job is also very special. After the unique and precious life in this world has passed, I will help him clean it up. A person will not die twice. For him who died, I only provide once. It is indeed a very special and noble job, isn’t it?
If the funeral master is a warm and warm growth system, helping the deceased relatives meet the deceased for the last time; then the relics organizer is a gentle lonely man, who uncovers the story of each soul that has passed away alone by sorting out the relics, and re-examines life and death, humanity and love.
Whether it is a funeralist or a relic organizer, they are all magicians who resolve major events in the life of the deceased. They not only "tidy up" the hearts of the families of the deceased, but also heal themselves. In a sense, they all gained new life in , so it is a big event for human life.
The trailer of "The Great Events in Life" says: Thank you for warming me. This thanks not only comes from the care and respect for the profession of funeral masters, but also the warmth and kindness of strangers and the two-way redemption of the soul.
After all, life and death are big things, and so are love.
3, "They are all people who plant stars"
The English name of "The Great Events in Life" is "lighting up the stars". It cleverly instills the fairytale concept of "the funeralist is a person who plant stars" into Xiaowen, and it is also telling us the mission of each of the funeralist: accompany the deceased on his last journey and send it to the sky to turn into stars.
The desolate relatives place their longing for the deceased on the stars, always worrying about them, always missing them, and cherishing them in their hearts.
This specific ceremony is not bad luck and should not become a taboo. Instead, it carries the eternal farewell between life and death.
In addition, we can also redefine and understand "life and death" to a certain extent. It turns out that death is not so gloomy and terrifying. Even the life as weak as the light of fireflies is full of unique light and power, guiding everyone to face life with more courage.
My work started when someone died.
Domestic funeralists, Japanese morticians , and Korean relics organizers, they are all people who grow stars. Wander between the two worlds of life and death, handle the funeral of the dead, plant a star-like dream for the living, and illuminate others with your own glimmer of light.
This awe of death is cherished. After all, there is nothing big about life except life and death.
The stars in the sky are what everyone who has loved us. Say goodbye, remember carefully, live seriously, and cherish the present. It is what every "people who plant stars" tells us.
May you have stars like dreams tonight.
