"Okuribito"

"Okuribit"
Directed by Yojiro Takita. With Masahiro Motoki, Tsutomu Yamazaki, Ryoko Hirosue.

Outline from Montreal Film Festival.
"Daigo kobayashi is a young married celist who played in an orchestra that has just been disbanded.
Suddenly on the street without a job and no hope for a career, Daigo decides to move back to his hometown with his wife.
There he gets a job as a nokanshi, an "encoffiner", an undertaker, the man who ceremoniously washes and dresses the dead bodies and places them in coffins, sending them onto the next world.He is a bureaucrat, a gatekeeper between life and death.
Daigo's work is despised by his wife and all the people around him, but it is through the death that he encounters daily that Daigo finally begins to understand what life is about.
Until our own "departure" arrives, we must undertake to "send off" those we have loved.This holds true for the love between married couples, parents and children, and the ties that bind relatives, friends and colleagues."

When my grandfather died, I coffined him and moved it over crematorium.
There is no keeper. Our naighbor cremated grandpa body.
That was our village funeral. Not so such a "okuribito" story.

I think it holds a funeral for living people. Not for the dead.
On my personal observation, I don't need to attend funeral.
It is different from each other.
I respect for a person, but not a dead.
I'm faceing friends, family and people involved seriously, before they die.

When I can't understand a word of the lyric, I heard the word as other known word.
I mishear always.
After all, if you don't know a word, you couldn't understand a word.

I shoud improve vocabulary.

"Embryo", Housei Hahakigi

Embryo, Housei Hahakigi

Thist is a story about medical ethics around the maternity clinic.
Particularly, in vitro fertilisation and embryo transfer.

Embryo is an unborn human baby, especially in the first eight weeks from conception.
("fetus" is an unborn human baby more than eight weeks after conception.)

Dr. Kisikawa is the director of "Sun Beach Hospital".
He goes for state-of-the-art medical technology, for example man's pregnancy.
He killed people in hidlings and his hospital is working out.

The point is he doesn't have any repentance.
He believe in his justice and benefit for good person.

After surgery for artificial abortion, embryo(fetus) is abandoned normaly in Japan.
He use them for organ transplants or experiment.

It is a effective utilization.
In Japan, embryo is not human.
Then, patients would be saved, hospital would earn money.
This is win-win proposal.

But embryo is life from (though it was abondoned).
It is diffecult problem.
I don't have clear answer at the moment.
I think the balance might controls ethics as a result.

This story also indicates immature of japanese low about medical field.

I have anxiety about Japanese future at all time...
