      Been assuming that was me

      At the age of 30, I went
      back to school from scratch in a foreign country. I picked up the days of living between diapers and exams.
      It was originally a doctor-patient relationship class between three tests. There were tests before and after, and the teacher had to be in the middle. There is a movie in this class
      . Everyone is ready to relax or
      cram He
      raised his head repeatedly, but still shed tears in the classroom on the third floor
      when he saw the Run away...

      Death dont be proud

      What the film describes in detail may not be clear from the name, because the word wit may only be understood after watching the film and looking back at the topic. It is probably a woman's anti-cancer history, but many of the details are intriguing. The first detail is the name of the protagonist, Miss Bailey, bearing. I don’t know if this name is very common in English, but the double meaning of bear, give birth to and endure, makes people feel that the protagonist is facing cancer and...

      "Professor Bening, you have cancer, ovarian cancer, stage four."
      "You need to receive a full dose of chemotherapy."
      Bening, a female professor who studies classical poetry, has lived a smooth and bright life since then. The road immediately turned into a dark and deep unknown tunnel.

      Professor Benin is undoubtedly strong.
      She accepted the fact of "stage IV ovarian cancer" with a smile; she received a full dose of chemotherapy with a smile; experienced nausea, vomiting,...

      Live with kindness, death is not the end

      In the 95-minute viewing experience, "Spiritual Ward" touched every nerve in me, and felt pain, helplessness, fear, despair, and a little warmth and comfort together with the protagonist. And the meaning of life and death lingered in my mind for a long time, and this spiritual journey towards death also resonated with me.
          In the film, Professor Bening, who is suffering from cancer, lies in the ward and faces death alone. From initial strength, to fear, to unbearable pain, under the...

      Unlike a movie about death, it did not make the audience sad at the end, nor did it use the pain of illness to stir up emotions. Vivian's first-person interaction with the audience brought a little...

      Emma Thompson's acting skills don't need to be questioned! "Death, don't be arrogant, although some people think that you are omnipotent and terrifying. But things are really not what you think. Those who you thought were knocked down by you actually didn't die. Poor god of death, you can't kill me either. After a short sleep, we will wake up forever, and death is no more; death, then you will die." - John...

      I accidentally watched the ending. . . Hong Kong translation "Spiritual Ward". End-of-life care giving and receiving. Does she/he really not hear what others say at her/his bedside when she/he is in a coma? It's too late to talk to...

    Movie plot

    Vivienne ( Emma Thompson Emma Thompson) is a knowledgeable doctor. What she didn’t expect when she was young was that God actually made a big joke for herself who was passionate about life and academics. It was confirmed that she was suffering from ovarian cancer, and her condition had reached the terminal stage, and there was almost no possibility of cure   .
    From grief, resistance to final acceptance, Vivian's heart felt as if she had...

    Evaluation action

    The perspective of this film is close to the alienation and calmness of a documentary. The protagonist is also a very simple social relationship, the vast majority of people living in a sane world. For ordinary people, there are very few points that can evoke emotional resonance. At least for me, there are not too many emotional fluctuations in watching this film   .
    On the other hand, the heavy topics about life and the protagonist's...

    Movie quotes

    • Vivian Bearing: I trust this will have a soporific effect.

      Susie Monahan: I don't know about that, but it sure does make you sleepy.

      Vivian Bearing: [laughing]

      Susie Monahan: What's so funny? What? What?

      Vivian Bearing: [laughing] Soporific means "makes you sleepy".

    • Jason Posner: She's research!

      Susie Monahan: She's DNR.

    • E.M. Ashford: You take this too lightly. This is metaphysical poetry, not the modern novel. The standards of scholarship and critical reading which one would apply to any other text are simply insufficient. The effort must be total for the results to be meaningful.
