      Do you dare to be brave to live every day

      I watched this movie last night. The shy male protagonist of "500 Days with Xia Mo" is him again.
      After reading it, I just smiled and didn't have too many impressions. I think it's a little flatter.
      After a few days, occasionally thinking about it seems to be able to understand the dullness. At the same time, I started to like this movie.
      In my impression, the male protagonist has only one real emotional catharsis in the whole film. He is sitting in the car, roaring, shaking his...

      Feeling after watching the movie

      After watching the film, I felt a lot of emotions, I don't know where to start. Really, everyone deserves love.
      I still remember when my grandma passed away and I was a freshman in high school. At that time, I was very naive. After school, I took a nap on the sofa in my grandmother's room. My grandmother came in to go to the toilet and fell down. I seemed to know this in a daze, but I turned over and went back to sleep. My grandmother is the person who loves me the most in the world. Tears...

      helpless patient

      I followed this film because a friend of mine was sick. I can understand the inner fragility, loneliness, and even grievances of people who are sick. Well, they don't smoke, drink, or exercise. To encounter cancer so badly, they can only face it and digest it. Maybe people who have not been in contact with it will feel very far away and feel that the film is very shocking. In fact, when I encountered this kind of disease, I found that the entire floor of the hospital, even the tumor hospital,...

      When it matters, relatives and friends can be depended on

      It didn't even fast forward once. is a good film. There is no boring and blunt inspirational preaching, the male protagonist is natural from pretending to be strong to breaking out.

      Many details are also quite touching. For example, the male protagonist always disliked his mother's nagging, until he was pointed out by a psychiatrist after he fell ill. On the one hand, his mother had to take care of his dementia husband and could not communicate with him, on the other hand, his son was...

      Lucky with options

      Perhaps we should be grateful that we still have the right to suffer from "choice phobia".

      Cancer, a frightening name, is often heard in our lives. My grandmother died of lung cancer. This condition really looks very little different from the outside, and the patient can still carry it with him in his daily normal life. But maybe he will never wake up again at that moment. The degree to which it is incurable has caused many patients to suffer both mental and physical torment, and the...

      If you are unhappy, think about the most unfortunate thing in the past, and then the life that suddenly opened up. Such a heavy topic is expressed in comedy sketches. Logan's endless complaints and Joseph's sad smile, the sadness and warmth of suffering and joy, are accompanied by an indescribable...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The original name of the film was " I'm With Cancer " (I'm With Cancer) , but it was later changed to " Live With It " (Live With It) because of the word "cancer" in the title . In the end, it was changed to 50/50, which means that Adam’s cancer cure hope is 50%. If translated literally, it should be called "Five Five Opens" or "Half Probability".
    The film was originally scheduled to star James McAvoy, but he withdrew from the crew due...

    My European and American Evaluation of Anti-Cancer

    The film is invaluable in dealing with many elements that are easy to fall into the cliché. ("Washington Post" review)
    The film neither escaped nor succumbed to the pain caused by cancer, but faced life with a rare heart. (Review of "Rolling Stone" Magazine)
    The film brings a soothing and beautiful story-this is where the power of the film lies. (Comment by "Chicago...)

    Movie quotes

    • Kyle: You smell like you fucked the cast of The View.

    • Adam: That's what everybody's been saying: You'll feel better and don't worry and this is all fine and it's not.

      Katherine: You can't change your situation. The only thing that you can change is how you choose to deal with it.

    • Kyle: I was in the neighborhood - I was just on a date with Claire, the girl I met at the bookstore? My date did not go well, unfortunately, due to a lack of chemistry... and, I think, an overuse of profanity on my part. But, whilst on my date... I ran into Rachael.

      Adam: Oh, yeah?

      Kyle: And I would like to present to you what I am going to call Exhibit...

      [Shows Adam a picture of Rachael kissing another man]

      Kyle: *Whore*! Look at it! That's Rachael! And that's a fuckin' filthy, Jesus-looking motherfucker, and they're kissing! I did it! I fuckin' nailed you! I've hated you for months, and now I have fuckin' evidence that you suck as a person! Holy shit! Holy shit!
