RE: I'd agree, absolutely, about your life comments SPOILER TO FOLLOW

I appreciate the poetry in your words, “Once we are dead, words cannot reach our ears, nor smiles our eyes” and “What’s to fear?”. These are points (or if you will the bigger picture) that I took from the film. Whether or not these are even remotely related to the film’s “purpose”, the vehicle or ceremony dignifies death as the inevitable end to the gift that is life. After the initial apprehension by our young practitioner, death itself became the evidence of a life that was treasured. I understand your take on the ceremonial significance of mortal acceptance. I guess I more or less found what I wanted to to see. Considering the title of the movie is “Departures”, I am sure your point of view reflects the true gist of the film.

I thought the dad and the geezer were rewarding tidbits of the story. Thanks for the discussion.
