This film was much funnier than the
premise made it appear like it would be. The moments of comedy even in death,
and the other ones in life. The inevitable comedy in tragedy was apparent in
this film. Perhaps one of the greatest moments was when Tomeo’s father was
telling the two men who did his final departure that even though he wore
dresses he was still his son. That’s hard stuff to place before mixed audiences,
and have the effect that it did. The ability to take such complicated issues
and turn them into beautiful things is a respectable talent. That was kind of
the idea of the movie, taking people who nobody wanted to socialize with, and
turning them into the person people respected, and even admired. Let’s think
about Mika for a second… she was so KAWAII (cute) X3 honestly she was an
awesome character. Throughout almost the entire movie she is the most positive
uplifting character in the film. Only after she learns Diego’s job as a
departure pro is she not so upbeat. Later we see that she can be a little
devious, that whole bit about how kids would pick on their son/daughter if they
knew what Diego did for a living. In the end Diego’s way of preparing corpses
swept her off her feet again, and she was the kawaii desu girl she before.
