The solo performance of the protagonist Lin Wu under the snowy mountain is a turning point in the whole movie.

After that, he completely strengthened his belief in the job of an undertaker, and everything began to fall from the bottom.

The wife who returned to her parents' house found out that she was pregnant and wanted to come back to talk to Lin Wu seriously.

In this process, his wife, who had seen Lin Wu's job all the way, also began to understand the meaning of his job, chose to accept it, and tried to become his assistant.

's father, who abandoned Lin Wu when he was a child, suddenly came the news of his death.

Lin Wu, who was very resistant to seeing him for the last time, tried to face this inner obstacle under the guidance of the company's assistant, buried his father, and sent him on his last journey.

It was also in this process that he discovered that his father had always cared about him, and finally reconciled with his deceased father.

The bathhouse mother-in-law, who had always taken care of him, warmed him, and supported him, also passed away quietly one day in early spring, and Lin Wu, as her son, dressed her beautifully, kindly, and kindly, and held a decent funeral for her.

The end of the movie.

On a normal morning.

Lin Wu took his wife to visit the master, but only saw the face of the master who died peacefully, and the eyebrow pencil that the master was holding tightly.

When Lin Wu took out the eyebrow pencil from the master's stiff palm and solemnly held it in his hand with his wife, there was roaring applause in the theater.

When the film ended and the lights in the theater came on, the applause did not stop.

It is true that this "Undertaker" is full of all kinds of deaths, but after watching this movie, every viewer feels warm in their hearts, as if they have been cured.

"A very touching film." Hayao Miyazaki, who was sitting in the back row, rubbed the corners of his eyes and sighed to his friend next to him.

As an RB person, he is the person in the theater who can read this movie the most in addition to the Chinese audience.

This film, which is based on the usually daunting funeral industry, exudes an incredibly healing atmosphere.

"What touched me the most was the words that the first family of the deceased said to my father with tears in their eyes when they said goodbye to my father, thank you for your dedication to this family."

"In our East Asian culture, people are often polite and polite to outsiders, but rarely express their gratitude to their loved ones, and always feel that everything their relatives do is a matter of course."

"It's so unfair to loved ones."

Hayao Miyazaki craned his neck to look at Wu Yuan, who stood up and bowed in thanks in the first row, his eyes full of appreciation.

In addition to the main line, "The Undertaker" is also interspersed with many topics that discuss life, death and social phenomena.

For example, there is a female deceased who is young and beautiful, and she is also very fashionably dressed and wears a beautiful dress, but when the protagonist and the apprentice bury him, they find out that he is a boy.

And the father of the deceased, until after his death, was not willing to identify with him, was willing to admit him, and said something like "whether you wear a skirt or pants, you are my son".

Or another deceased, who was also a young and beautiful woman, also dyed her beautiful yellow hair, but when Lin Wu buried her, the deceased's mother scolded him, saying that her daughter's hair was black and asked him to put on makeup again.

But relatives and friends who couldn't get used to it stood up and angrily scolded the mother, saying that she usually didn't care about her daughter at all, and she didn't even know what her daughter liked.

Of course, one of the most important issues in the film is social discrimination against mortuaries as a worker.

It's as if it's terrible to bury the deceased, and even infect others with the virus.

But if no one does this work, will people die and be left to rot in their place?

When Wu Yuan deliberately portrayed the focused and gentle eyes of the undertaker when he was applying makeup to the deceased in the movie (especially since this person was still Zhang Guorong).

The audience was not only moved, but also had to re-examine whether their views and prejudices about this profession were correct.

American director Lesser, who was also shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival with "True Love Express", also sighed to his producer: "Love and death, these are two eternal topics of human beings. ”

"My film chose love, Daniel chose death."

"And his interpretation of death is more profound and touching than my interpretation of love."

"I can't believe he's only 20 years old."

When the film screening ended, whether it was the invited guests, film critics and media reporters who rushed to hear the news, they were all full of praise for the film.

Some anxious film critics and media reporters have rushed to Wu Yuan, who was leading the crew members to bow and bow to the scene, and asked questions.

"Director Wu, when the deceased is buried in the movie, he needs to hold a peach branch in his left hand and a dough cake in his right hand, is this a special funeral culture in China?"

"Yes, but this is only a part of the funeral culture in China, China is very large, and the funeral customs in different places are not the same, this is just one of them."

"Director Wu, does the eyebrow pencil at the end of the movie represent inheritance?"

"Yes, it is the inheritance of the profession and the inheritance of the faith."

“……”

“……”

At the end of the premiere of "The Undertaker", it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon.

After being tired of dealing with reporters, media and film critics, the crew dragged their tired bodies back to the hotel for dinner and rest.

The Chinese press corps that followed the group, especially the official CCTV reporters, immediately called back to China to send back the news of the well-received premiere of "The Undertaker".

As soon as possible, relevant news reports appeared on the domestic Internet, which also made domestic fans who have been paying attention to this Berlin Film Festival begin to look forward to whether Wu Yuan can win the award at the closing ceremony!

Before they could absorb and accept the news, the house catalog of the Berlin Film Festival announced the house catalog score of "The Undertaker", with a score of 3.3, ranking fourth among the films in the main competition unit that have been screened!

Most of the film critics who watched the premiere also gave "The Undertaker" a rating of more than four stars, and highly recommended local fans to watch the movie more in the next few days.

"Director Wu, the form is very good!"

Han Dong, who collected the evaluations and word-of-mouth of "The Undertaker" from all parties, congratulated Wu Yuan with a happy face at dinner.

Zhang Guorong and Li Xuejian and other crew actors, their faces are also full of joy, the better the reputation and response of the movie premiere, the higher the possibility of winning the award, can this be unhappy!

Wu Yuan was naturally happy, he just wanted to say a few words to persuade everyone not to be happy so early, but his mobile phone suddenly rang.

“john？”

Seeing the caller's name, Wu Yuan picked up the phone with some confusion: "John, what's wrong?" ”

“Daniel！ The Academy Awards have announced the list of nominees! ”

"Juno was nominated for four awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Original Screenplay!"

"Hey, Daniel, this time you have to come to the United States in person for the Oscars!"

John's voice was very loud and excited, so loud that even if he didn't turn on the amplification, Han Dong and Zhang Guorong, who were sitting next to Wu Yuan, could clearly hear his words.

"Ding-bang!"

The knives and forks held by the two fell on the fine porcelain plate with a clatter.

"Hmm...?" Zhang Guorong was shocked and subconsciously spoke Cantonese.

At this moment, no one cares about the smashed porcelain plate.

Everyone who heard John's words looked at Wu Yuan with fiery eyes.

"Director Wu, you're really awesome this time..."
