A different start...

Rating: 7/10 (17 March 2015)

"Departures" is a drama movie in which we watch a man who is a devoted cellist in an orchestra that has just been dissolved and now he is unemployed. After some time he decides to return to his hometown where he finds a new job which is really different than the previous one. His new job is to prepare the deceased bodies for burial and entry into the next life.
I liked this movie because it was a different kind of movies than these that I used to watch so it was a new experience for me. That was something that I found really interesting. Another thing that I liked in this movie was the beautiful interpretation of Masahiro Motoki who played as Daigo Kobayashi and he was simply outstanding on it. Another interpretation that I liked was Tsutomu Yamazaki's who played as Ikuei Sasaki.
Lastly I want to say that "Departures" is a really different movie than the movies that you are used to watch and this is something that makes this movie so special and unique. This movie will teach you the true meaning of life and how important and short is.
