Departures aka "Okuribito"

Do you ever feel like "serious" movies were really hard to watch and you need to be in the right "mood" to watch it? You can tell it's going to be an excellent movie, but it's going to be 100% dead serious. I thought this movie was going to be like that, so I neglected to watch this movie for awhile. However, I was horribly wrong. Two minutes in the movie, I was laughing already.

Theme is pretty much meaning of life. Life and death. Lost and found. Labeled as "disgusting profession" by surrounding people, yet being passionate, hard-working, and earnest, the main character finds beauty in death (and of course life) and what he does.


I have to say it was the best movie I saw this summer because everything else was kind of crappy.
