The Face of Death

"What can you say, when there is no hope?" This question is asked in this stirring film by Kiti Luostarinen. Death always comes at the wrong time, even if you are prepared for it. Many things are left unsaid and undone, although a person's worth is not measured by his or her performance. In each dying mind is the thought of still wanting to be remembered tomorrow. The film laughs heartily in the terrible face of death, but the laughter gets lodged in the throat. The finality is tangible during the last moments of a terminally ill person's life. This intense depiction helps examine life when it is still possible. Most people would still have something to give in their lives, as love carries even through great difficulties.
