    Super sweet series. Money dosen't make happiness, but pursuing what you like to do on your terms, and seeing the little things in life; it dosen't have to be anything big, it can be as little as "not doing anything". Not giving in to how society views  on how you are expected to live life, having a high paying job, a steady income of money, pursuing other's dreams but your own... etc. etc.

  • Departures

    8. Departures

    Japanese Movie - 2008

    10

    A  very beautiful story about life & death, this man who comes from a very different branch of work, becomes an encoffiner -performing a ritual to send the dead people off properly, and humanely. This is also for the sake of family, this evokes emotion and memory of them suddenly seemingly almost coming to "live up again."; They shave them. Put makeup on to make them look less dead and alive again. They wash them, this is their last bath before departure and is also a symbol of being re-born. They also change their clothing, it is all done in such a beautiful artistic way that it looks like an art form when they do this, they may also put something on them that reminds them of them being them; a favorite lipstick, a scarf they might have worn often, etc. They also make this sort of art movement with their hands and arms, they touch and caress the person. This all helps the family to not hold back and get some relief from this, perhaps offering some sort of sight, a cry, to bring them to realization, and able to grieve. For them to almost make them seem alive again, one last time. This movie is also about that we should normalize death more, that this is also just a part of life, a process, like any other we go through with life -it doesn't have to be something to feel disgusted about... everyone has to die at some point, we can't get around it. And this doesn't have to be the end, but the gateway to starting their next new life somewhere else.

    Really sweet drama about two workaholic being very passionate about their work, but the girlfriend being even more of an workaholic than him, and him being a very supportive boyfriend towards her, and that he in fact do understand, and that he thinks she is cool and incredible admirable for her huge passion for her work -that is also very much a big part of her person that comes with her in her relationships, instead than maybe many other people would think that their partner would be meaning less to them bc they don't prioritize their time with their partner more instead of work. That you can have both a life of a passionate work and still a passionate love life meanwhile!

    Raises questions and addresses issues about human behaviour you have in any kind of relationship. "Who you are as a person, is completely independent of gender." Beautiful humans who grow and learn about the specific quote.

    Maybe same goes for people's sexualities irl, maybe nothing is absolutely clear. and we are all kinda fluid, if we let us, bc who we truly love may really not matter at all about sexuality or norms'? to become healthier versions of ourselves and for/with our partners to know the partner realtionship has the most/extreme value.

    Also lot of good quotes from this series.
