The plot tells the story of a report for the undead in the underworld, which is similar to a government agency and located in the snow. Every week, a group of new deceased are admitted to the hospital. Then they gather for a few days to think about the most precious memories of their lives. The film" accompanies the dead to heaven. The film uses a semi-documentary approach. The color tone of black and white, the documentary interview footage, and the rudimentary scenes of the old school buildings are in place to show the simplicity behind the glitz and the tranquil atmosphere after the noise. Together with the ethereal bells and the bleak autumn and winter scenery, they create A transparent and pure world. It is the style of Hirokazu that pays attention to human sentiment and film sentiment, so without logic at all, the impression is quite plain.

The subtitles are too bad for an expressionist story shot by a realist technique, and I didn't quite understand it after reading it twice. People live in the past, and the value of memory is not just to be missed. It was Hirokazu Kore-eda's early works that were really thought-provoking. If I were to die, I think I would most like to time the night during military training. Although I don't want to admit it

Deep love and responsibility, so Samsung. The concept is great: Before going to heaven, everyone picks the most important memory in their life and shoots them into a movie. However, the stories of all kinds of people are slightly sloppy, and the stories of the staff are not unfolded at all, and after the climax of the story "everyone disappears after watching the movie", the entanglement of the entangled staff seems protracted and tasteless, and the setting of the fiancée is also abrupt. Compared with Hirokazu Koreeda's delicate and appropriate later, there is still a big gap. If this script can be slowly brewed into a Japanese drama, it would be great to tell a story in each episode. In addition, although there are video tapes of life to watch, but still looking for someone else to shoot a memory movie may be the biggest bug of this film...

Kenji Yamamoto, who wants to forget his past: Say I choose a memory, from when I was eight or ten years old. Then I'll only remember how I felt back then? I'll be able to forget everything else? Really? You can forget? Well, then that really is heaven.
