Ikiru

That’s exactly how I want my wake to be; a bunch of blabbering drunks sitting in a circle reminiscing about how awesome my life was.  Ikiru was a quiet, intimate, personal story that warms and tugs at the emotions of the audience. It serves as a reminder that one must make a difference during their lifetime, that of which could potentially end at any point in time. The protagonist had the fortune of knowing when his life would end, and chooses to make a difference due to the fact. We are not granted the opportunity to know when or how we die, so it is our responsibility to make a change while we still can. We, like the protagonist, must face the inevitability of death and prepare to be satisfied with our lives once it arrives. Even though the protagonist had limited time, he still make significant change in the short amount of time he had, showing that it’s never too late to find change within yourself. OH YEAH!!
