What is the most precious memory in your life?

This question is the most important. It was Hirokazu Kore-eda who talked about in this film, and that is such a question.

If a heaven is to be imagined, it should be in heaven where the greatest joy is experienced every moment. But everyone's experience is different, and everyone's happiest things are different. In this way, a transit point between the earth and heaven is needed. There are some angels in the transfer station who haven't figured out what their most precious memory is. In seven days, they will help those who died to take pictures of what they think is the most precious memory. These people, after viewing their own images, forget about their other less happy or painful memories and move on to their next stop. In this way, they can always remain in the happiest state they can imagine.

This is the setting of the story. In the story, there are twenty-two people who have just stepped into the transit station, and seven or eight angels. They have various views on this issue, showing the diversity of thought. Some feel that sitting on a rickety bus in the afterglow of the sunset is the happiest childhood; some feel that the night spent with a lover is the happiest; some feel that when I was three years old, sitting on my mother's lap happiest. Of course, some people only want to keep the most primitive memories, because they feel that the future life has put too much pressure on him; some people think that every moment of existence is the happiest, so if they have to shoot a video clip, he thinks To photograph possible futures, unfinished dreams. etc.

The story ideas are great. Let me think about this too. Well. However, it is difficult to find a definitive answer. There are so many happy things. Kind of hoping that such an answer will never be found. The happiest times are often also foreshadowing of bright possibilities for the future. But if it was just a memory, that possibility would be lost. Sometimes, precious things don't want to go through a second time. There are many things that can be argued against the question itself. But there is still value in thinking about the problem.

PS: But the filming was rather boring, and I yawned several times while watching it. There is almost no soundtrack, no dramatic plot. Sorry about this idea.

After Life quotes

  • 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.
