Departures - Death Is Never Easy.

(2008)  ★★★★☆

Body washed. Hair combed. Clothes changed. Kisses given. Tears shed. Button pressed. Nothing left. I cried. I didn't intend to, but tears just ran down my cheek uncontrollably. I kept wondering... what if it was the ones I love? What if it was me?

I guess it'd be a whole lot easier if it was me, but I would sure be devastated to watch the loved ones go away, even in peace and grace. I have a friend, who always tells me to let it go whenever I feel down with something. Yes, right, Let It Go, that is pretty eaiser said than done, though. Well, he does seem like a good example. He never seems to be preoccupied with anything. Maybe he's still too young to know life's nothing but a struggle, true love's nothing but a lie, all you see, all you hear, all you touch, all you smell, all you feel, is nothing but a mirage. Or maybe I've lost my guilty conscience, maybe I'm way too narrow-minded, short-sighted, stupid, pathetic or headstrong too understand what life's really about.

On my way home after watching this film, I felt kinda cold inside. I was thinking, maybe we'll be better off without knowing what life's all about, coz no matter how hard you've tried, how far you've got, in the end, it doesn't really matter.
