Caught the movie “Departures” yesterday.
Found it a very poetic movie – the script is beautiful and love the visual shots. My fav shot was when Daigo stood in the middle of the bridge : a good reflection of his state of mind – not knowing which direction to head.
I love the play on the his vague remembrance of his dad’s face and how it became clear. Very beautifully done.
Love the irony of him not having ‘arrived’ in his musical dreams… and having to handle departures. With so much dignity. And how preparing for departures is actually preparing for arrival to another realm. Nice. Kudos to the script writer.
Arrivals, Dreams, Departures, Gates…
