Okuribito

I love watching movies. Especially in the theater. Why?
I really don't know if I can clearly explain why I love watching movies. I just watch them like I see paintings, for example. When I see a wonderful painting, I feel my heart catches something. "Heart speaks to heart". That's it...I think.
A big screen is a window to see into someone's life. The darkness-surrounded theater directly guides me into the one's life. Then the director's heart speaks to my heart through the characters, sceneries, sounds and etc. that are being created on the screen.
*********************************
I wrote the above sentences this morning. Then I went to see a movie "Okuribito(おくりびと）".
I was planning to write about the movie which I watched and was moved before, after the above sentences. But let me write about "Okuribito"first, because I was deeply moved by it.

I laughed a lot but cried much more than I laughed. I cried too much that I couldn't get out of the theater until all the audience was out. I couldn't believe it. I didn't expect myself to cry so much. What moved me so much, I wonder..?

Some people might live their lives successfully. Others might live feeling lonely or with depression. Some life might be exciting. Others might be just ordinary. Whatever, every life should be blessed.

I felt,in this movie, that one's life is treated so tenderly, so warmly, and with respect.

I am sorry for not writing the summary of the story, but please let me write only how deeply it touched me, right now.

『おくりびと』を観てきました。自分でも信じられないくらい泣きました。まったく予期していませんでした。何がこんなに…と考えてみたのですが、たぶん映画を通して、どんな人生であっても、人の人生というものは尊いものなのだということを深く感じたからではないかと思うのです。この映画の中で、その、人の人生をとても温かく、そして優しく、尊いものとしてとりあつかってくれているのを感じて、どうにも泣けてしまったのだと思います。やばいくらい泣きました＾＾；　もっと落ち着いたら他のことも書けるかもしれませんが、とりあえず、ずい分と感動してしまったらしいということだけで失礼します。m(_ _)m
