The use of water as a cultural symbol I thought was very well done. Water in many cultures can symbolize cleansing, life and death, and even rebirth. With in the movie I saw all three of these ideas. Whenever someone had passed away they were laid out by the water to have their cremation ceremony. This could be the idea of life and death along with rebirth. The person gives themselves to the water then the water can give this life again. Several times throughout the move people can be see washing in the pond, this could be the idea of cleansing.
