Cinematic Record

A Cinematic Record (, Shinematikku rekōdo) is a recollection of an individual's memories, depicted like a brief movie.
==Overview==
A Cinematic Record can be described as a document of an individual's life memories. The concept of a human is broken into two: a flesh body and a soul. When combined, the individual can exist among the living, and thus initiates their Cinematic Record. When the flesh body withers, and the Grim Reapers collect their souls, the record ends there, resulting in the living becoming the dead.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 60, page 9 The "end mark" of the Cinematic Record arrives along with every death.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 60, page 10
It is possible for a Cinematic Record to be tampered with in such a way that more memories are added to it, where they should have already stopped once the person died. In that case, moving corpses are created, retaining the memories and bodies of their previous lives, yet they remain soulless.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 60, pages 11-14
===Purpose===
In order to review an individual's life, a Grim Reaper views a person's Cinematic Record by cutting the said person with their Death Scythe. The contents of the Cinematic Record are used to determine if the person should be allowed to pass away or to continue to live. The Grim Reapers seem to make this decision by putting a stamp that says "complete" on the dying individual's file.Kuroshitsuji manga; Chapter 35, page 13
