I cried when i first watched it many years ago. Now that im older, i cried more. So deserving of winning the Oscar.

[yimkhengleong]

I cried non stop when I saw a round stone dropped from his father's hand. A very touchy moment, his father is still remember him! I can see his tears dropped as he is touching his father's face. Great acting! Wonderful movie to watch

Having worked as a Funeral Director for a number of years, I found this so interesting from a cultural perspective and the view the Japanese had of this profession..his character resonated with me on all professional levels but saddend me to hear his wife call him unclean or to get a proper job..This profession is an amazing privilege
that few people can achieve with such empathy and sincerity...and I dont regret one moment of that time in my life. I had a very supportive husband, family and frienship foundation who were so proud of what I did. Lastly..I can honestly say preparing my Mum for her departure will be the most memorable and loving moment in time. Its the last act of affection and love a daughter can do for her Mum...Love and Miss you Mum ❤❤❤

Through this movie i'm able to let go of my resentment towards my father and gave me a profound sense of connection with him regardless of how he had treated me and my mother before. No point holding on to the past stories and it sort of liberates me from this resentment. This movie brings so much joy and healing to me. Thank you very much, I wish all of you could gain something from this movie.

As a buddhist nun I have profound gratitude to watch such a creative tender film that presents this truth..the circle of life and death..and All that sentient beings experience in recognizing both as passages. Thank you..to all who made this production ...Arigato . 🙏

Having watched this in a movie theatre in Hawaii when it first came out, it was the first time and until rewatching it now the only time I cried for my own father. Having been only 2 weeks old when he died in his sleep. I never knew the man and obviously had no feelings for him. But as the protagonist has his journey and by fate his farewell to his dad it makes me realize the lost that I had never known and sadly the lost I will never pass on. I unfortunately will not have a child of my own as the protagonist will have to pass on the stone letter. But I have hope that life in the present can bring fulfilment as it matters for the eternal world in heaven.

what a masterpiece from the orchestra to the last thing we all end up. a standing ovation to all the people who created this story not just a story but a memory worth to be treasured with. thankyou.

I am a nurse in Germany. When we learned to become a nurse, we had to spend a week at what is called "Sterbeseminar". Meaning a death seminar. We learn about death, how different cultures treat death. This film was part of it. It touched me in so many ways. How honorable the people of Japan are prepared, when they pass. The pride he took in his work. 😊 I lost my father a year before I saw this. I was bawling my eyes out at certain scenes. But still a good movie and that song he plays on the cello is hauntingly beautiful.

This is a beautiful movie . My mom just died recently at 89 years old, she is in coma for more than one month from ICU to her home. We saw her face gradually deteriorated during those period . When she died and brought her to funeral home, the mortician handled her so well. Her old face turned into a beautiful old lady . Because of the grief we neglected to say thank you to those people in charge in funeral. Their work should be appreciated.

I understand why this movie won an Oscar! Excellent story telling and great acting. It moved me to tears near the end. 👏👍

My brother passed away in April last year...now I know just how much the funeral parlour did to prepare him for us. A truly humbling job to be an undertaker. But, this japanese tradition of preparing before family members is so significant in itself. I wish we had been a part of it when my brother died. Thank you for this touching movie dear uploader! Unforgettable, really. 😢

この映画みるまでは、
日本独特のお通夜、告別式が、
かた苦しくて、形ばかりで、
無言の修行で、大きらいでしたo
南国のように歌ったり、おどったりした方が
ずっと良いと思いましたが、
日本人独特の形式は、死者の尊重だと思う事ができました。
死者をきれいにしてくれる仕事は、本当にきれいでステキです。
日本の歴史上、死者をあつかう仕事人は、えた、ひにん、と
差別用語で呼ばれていたので、主人公の男性が、妻や友人から

差別される事は、ありませんo
長文で、すみません。
動画アップして下さり、ありがとうございました♡

Have seen this in 2008, and see again in 2024, throughout the years some dear ones passed away, which brings the understanding more profoundly.
Immortality makes departure a transit stop, our love ones never leave.
Japanese are great people, hope they remain this much of humanity to show and shine the old fashion of love, kindness, care and duty to one another.

[renatep.]

In our religion we dress the deceased as well, I have done it several times myself, it’s difficult the first time you do it but once done, you get the most beautiful feeling for having done this last labour of love for the deceased.
I learned a lot from the way the Japanese do it with so much dignity.
Still, I enjoyed the funny bits of the movie, just the right amount to offset the tear jerkers.

[manitzDelloro]

What a very nice movie. My son passed away 10 years ago, 2014. He was also cremated. My regrets is that we did not dress him properly. He was cremated wearing the gown from the hospital.
My mind was clouded with so much grief that we had not think to dress him properly for his burial. I AM SORRY MY DEAR SON.
I cried hard watching this film especially at the end part where the son giving the postmortem care to his estranged father, knowing that the father treasured the loved - stone he had given to him when he was a child.

[yolandalai]

The work that people hate is the most sacred job ! The last journey , give the last respect ! The male actor performed wonderfully ! Thank you for the script and director , bring out a different movie !

[Zutto_otaku]

Made me cry every human being should watch this movie regardless of religion.

[matthewkraemer]

An incredibly touching and well made movie, that masterfully handles the most uncomfortable of subjects.

[huntrrams]

Out of all the movies i watched in my lifetime, this one brings me to tears every time!! Cherish your loved ones everyone.

[vivianidelacerda]

This is one the most beautiful movies I have ever watched. Thank you all 🙏
