A Good Movie is like a good poem; it contains a variety of elements. Coincidentally, this years Oscar winner for the best foreign film "Departures" serves as a fitting example. Upon skimming through the plot summary, one may find the film to be simplistic; however, the film is actually filled with a bucket full of profoundness. The director started the first hour of the film by sprinkling humor on top of the story. I will admit that the director got a few chuckles out of me. Just as I was I was gradually mesmerized by the beauty of the story, the movie transitions nicely into a moving and overpowering film. As the film motors along, I was given a foretaste of the profession of an encoffiner (a person who prepares the corpses before their cremation) as it demand utter concentration, precision and competence. On the same note, the movie also succeed in depicting the pride and joy of the job society looks down upon. Even though the movie was a bit longer, the flavorful and ear pleasing music made the time tolerable. Fill with superb acting from the cast, beautiful music, perfectly framed cinematography and solid directing. The movie is magnificent and without a doubt worthy of the prestigious Oscar award.
