大多数时候我们会下意识地拒绝谈论死亡的话题,甚至不愿意经过与死亡有关的场所,比如墓地。至于那些与殡葬相关的人员,我们也会有所避讳。我们这样的处心积虑,其实只是想掩饰自己对死亡的畏惧。当美香最初得知丈夫小林大悟从事入殓师的工作时,因为不了解,所以才会有偏见,斥之为“不正常的工作”。事实上就其职业而言,只要是合法的职业就没有贵贱之分,也没有所谓“正经与不正经”的说法,而影片则告诉我们:任何工作,只有喜欢与不喜欢之分。 Most of the time we subconsciously refuse to talk about the topic of death, and do not even want to go through places related to death, such as the graveyard. As for funeral-related people, we will also be taboo. Our deliberations, in fact, just want to hide their fear of death. When Mei Xiang first learned that her husband, Kobayashi Dawu, was working as a teacher, he did not understand it, so he would prejudice him as “an abnormal job.” In fact, as far as their occupation is concerned, there is no distinction between equality and inferiority and no so-called “serious and unreasonable” as long as they are legitimate professions. The film tells us that any work, only the likes and dislikes.
