"Encouragement" is a very wonderful movie, I have to say that. I was a little scared before, what are you afraid of? Fear of death, fear of corpses. The topic of "death" is always seldom mentioned, so I am afraid of the unknown because of the vague concept. The vague feeling in my heart reminded me that death is a terrible thing, and being engulfed is a terrible thing. But the first shot of "The Enemy" calmed my heart magically. There is a touch of melancholy in the frown of the people in the car, and the white-tone scene outside the car is solemn and quiet. When Daigo Kobayashi carefully wiped the body of the deceased, and when the president patiently asked the family's advice on whether to put on men's makeup or women's makeup, I discovered that the profession of enchanter was so sacred and solemn. Through the hands of the enchanter, we have seen the process of returning the dignity to the dead, and the ceremony for the living and the dead to bid farewell gracefully. Death is no longer scary here. Life and death are closely linked here. Death is the continuation of life. The enchanter, with his attitude of respecting the deceased, made the deceased embark on another brand-new journey with a clean and elegant posture. From the fragility and resistance when he became an enchanter by mistake, to his dedication to the profession, Daigo Kobayashi has experienced too much life and death. I can't forget the husband who lay on the coffin and watched his wife's body sobbing, and the family who left red lips on the deceased man. They laughed and cried and said, "Thank you, Dad." The relatives' reluctance, regret, nostalgia, and misunderstanding towards the deceased were all calmed down with the solemn enshrinement ceremonies. It turns out that people can be treated with such tenderness in the last part of life. It turns out that people can also be so peaceful, so peaceful, and so beautiful after death! ——I completely changed my views on the profession of enchanter. Yanzi, who had been opening a bathhouse in Dawu's hometown, opened the bathhouse to the last moment of her life in order to give her neighbors a little convenience and warmth at home. When sending her to cremation, Hirata said to her: "There will be a period later!" Yes, there will be a period later. We who won't be immortal will eventually rush to that place, right? So what have we been afraid of? Fear of death, because I feel that it is an eternal loss. But "The Enemy" has always conveyed to us another belief that death is just a door that allows us to go farther. Haruki Murakami said: "Death is not the opposite of life, but it will live forever as part of life." This is what he said. When the "departed" rest in peace, when the living people are strong, when the love after release flows and passes through everyone's heart, a moment becomes eternity, and everything may be endless like this. As a film featuring workers in the funeral industry, "Death
