      death is eternity

      What can we do at the last moment of our lives? This is a story about the sea and life and death. A brain cancer patient, a terminal bone marrow cancer patient, met each other in the hospital. When they learned that their time was short, on a drunken night, they resolutely stole a car and went to the paradise in their hearts - the sea. However, the car was from a gang of gangsters, and there was a million dollar bill from the gangsters in the trunk. So, in this dream-seeking journey,...

      notes

      The only topic in heaven is the sea. At dusk, the fireball falls into the sea, leaving only the fire like candlelight. How spectacular is this picture. A darkly humorous version of Bucket List, although it's an old-timer. As far as preferences are concerned, I still prefer the bright colors of "Bucket List", but when I saw the last scene, the two sat and watched the sea and Martin fell, and then the music of "knocking on heaven's door" sounded, I couldn't help but be moved. . Use the last...

      to myself

      I don't know why I like this movie. In fact, I'm not very interested in road movies, and I'm not very interested in black humor. Many times I don't know whether what I'm doing is right or wrong, and how will it lead to What's the result? This film may show me my suppressed nature. I'm probably a little girl with a destructive nature. I always want to do outrageous things. It's pretty cool to do. As for the film itself, there are many states of friendship. I feel that this state is not bad....

      Accompany you tequila, accompany you to watch the sea

      Many screenwriters and many stories like to observe and narrate other people's stories from the perspective of God, and today I am the protagonist

      legacy of destiny

      I am Martin, yes, I should be the male lead. When I was alive, I lived a life that a normal German should not live, smoking, smoking a lot of cigarettes, drinking,...

      I'm Rudy, who's Martin?

      [I am Rudy, who is Martin? ] Knock on Heaven's Door - Germany's top-grossing comedy movie of 1997, but it threw me out at the end. Following Martin and Rudy, two terminal cancer patients, they pursued their dreams crazily and went to see the sea together, but at the moment when the dream was achieved, Martin died, and a lonely Rudy sat beside Martin, who was slumped to the ground. Looking at the empty ocean tossing and tumbling all alone, it seems like a fucking life... I can accept the...

      It can't be more cured, completely melted into the idealized impulse, if life is only as good as a dream, if wishes don't always backfire, beauty always accompanies distress, you choose what to...

      In the end, the boss let them go. I always felt that the screenwriter was too lazy to make it up =_= But the combination of these two people is quite interesting, and the setting of the police is also very...

      A very ordinary lewd movie. It is estimated that the reason for such a high score is that everyone is envious of being able to do this before they die. But how can life be so poetic and...

    • Martin Brest: In heaven, they're talking about nothing but the sea and how wonderful it is. They talk about the sunsets they saw, they talk about how the sun turned blood red before diving into the sea and they talk about how they could feel how the sun lost its power and the coolness from the sea and all that fire was only glowing inside.
