us about the experience death. In particular the process of mourning the loss of a loved one. And the death of a style or mode of living with the loss of a profession, dismissal, bankruptcy or cessation of activity. A death as death by loss of social status. A death by suicide. A death by accident. Approaching death watch and learn from different perspectives from which we annealed some insurance.
With each of these deaths are psychological and personal issues that move, the "dying" before he died, and whom or who are still alive after the death of the deceased.
Life and death are choices. Life involves energy, courage, determination, hope, joy of living. Death is the end of it.
death occurs and can also be chosen. What leads us to choose it? Despair, hate, life believing there is no output. Although we also carry things to death, understood death as the cessation or termination of an activity or relationship, when we no longer satisfied. In the case of the protagonist, takes his dismissal from the orchestra to leave his job as a musician, who apparently did not satisfy him and he carried a large financial debt, and decides to return to his childhood home. Closing and starting without being aware of it, a new overture to his life that will take to reinstate their identity on a trip to his childhood, and thus begin his life again.
Death may be more or less consciously, like life. The more aware more full, safe and peaceful. The more unconscious we are more outstanding issues will be resolved and therefore less light, energetic and happy live.
This time I focus on the journey that makes the protagonist to leave his job, die as a professional musician, with all that implies, and return to his childhood home. It is a return journey, and in principle has the support of his girlfriend, who accompanies him.
The hero, Daigo returns home and finds himself without money and with the need to find work. Search and find a job "that helps to travel", granted an interview and will know what it is about work. To his surprise, the job is mortician. Horrified first finds the error in the notice, to deny the evidence, and knocked down and after releasing their new leader a wad of banknotes accepted the job. Silent goes home with money and buy good food for dinner with your partner. The star hidden from his wife back to what happens with regard to his new job.
Daigo Days pass and your new job is closer to the experience of death, from by different states, terrified, in the plague, a section, and finally abandoned. And history repeats itself, again leave him. Meanwhile, his work being accepted Daigo and the experience of death, and above all and through contact with people with whom you work, s comrades, relatives of the deceased and the deceased himself, it enters the sphere of privacy, proximity and contact with other persons, who looks pained, angry, expression and even sticking to the death of a loved one.
At this stage of the film we see the various psychological issues at play in the grief process, which were present in the lives of these people, with conflicts and conflicts that were unresolved and that death emerge. Outcrop guilt, resentment, fear, etc. And, fortunately, for surfacing and being aware of this is the only way to give change. This approach to people and families of the dead is what allows Daigo contact and dynamic with their own psychological issues, which were hidden until this journey and have to surface and changing the emotional tone as the grieving process is giving. Besides these relatives were grateful to him and his boss, the work done with their dead, treatment care and respect they moved. SHOCK
means moving. Daigo As you approach this experience more human crop memories, expressive capacity and shared with coworkers, boss and secretary. Be loving and respectful is what we all need and what it costs us to be when we are imbued with unresolved psychological issues.
In these moments of history his wife leaves him when he learns his new trade. So Daigo is left alone, dedicated to his work in the company of their colleagues. His old world is gone.
In these moments of solitude and companionship with peers, come Christmas. And they share their sadness and anger Daigo for the abandonment of his father as a child. Daigo
shown contempt to the memory of his father, he starts talking about his father, so far said nothing.
's wife dies baths. Daigo had a positive affect and a link to this woman was who and where recourse when she was sad as a child. Daigo to say goodbye to this woman appreciates all given, provided, lived with her, reborn in him the ability to be linked positively with his father, who recalls closely communicated and shared. Daigo now also deliver positive relationship with his wife.
With the death of his father see as Daigo to abandon his father froze on that experience and situation. Frozen blur. Unable to absorb what happened, turning in on oneself. So stuck in this situation of loss and farewell without anchor their way of life, act in life that time and repeat your story over and over again. Deserted him and left him again and again, just as his father. But this time Daigo make a change, to undertake this journey after job loss occurs without awareness, the opportunity to reestablish his relationship with his father.
How is this reconnecting with his father? We first see her resistance, first rejects, refuses, does not, then your co-worker says I do, sharing its experience of abandonment. Are moved, they soften. Daigo, first flees, escapes, full of rage starts to run, stopped, and decides to approach his father.
What happens in reuniting with her father?
Given that people build our identity based on what our parents lived, Daigo to return to his father discovers that his father has not forgotten, and has been present. Daigo then it may hurt and be hurt by the loss of his father, closing the old situation and recover outstanding among other things the importance of himself.
And the new order of life is given. Daigo now has the capacity now positively linked with others.
Supports Daigo in the process, his new boss. A head clear, present, generous, and concise. That welcomes and teaches and who gets to be intimate and equal. His secretary sincere, clear, loving, tender, close and firm. The cello, as a means of attachment, expression and vehicle for contact with the past. His family encouraged him with its freshness and ingenuity to take a trip to the past. Their work and the people you contact and relationship.
to recover and reintegrate our identity we need to close these past situations where we get stuck and make us live a limited, biased and repetitive. In this work therapy to return to a more expressive, shared, and in conjunction with the / s too / s.
This story is an example of outstanding duel, a duel yet done and that makes all life from the confinement, the stubbornness and hatred. And we see as one is opened again to life is to share, expansion, through pain and pleasure in the process of life and bereavement.
