Seeing this name, I believe many people will think that this is a sad, deep and serious movie. But in fact the opposite is true. The movie will even make you laugh to tears, but it ends up being thought-provoking. The film begins with a majestic snow-capped mountain, and the changing perspectives show us her grandeur. This is the Himalayas, the mountain that Carter, one of the protagonists of the movie, is obsessed with, and his final belonging. As the camera changes, Carter's voice echoes, and he throws us a serious question - what is the meaning of life? And Carter's answer also kicked off the story. Back at the beginning, Carter, an auto mechanic, and his colleagues were playing quiz games in the workshop. Any questions asked by colleagues, even if there were mistakes in the book, Carter could answer correctly. It can be seen that Carter is very knowledgeable, which also shows that Carter does not want to be a car mechanic all the time. He has his own ideals, at least once. Then a phone call made the smile on Carter's face gradually solidify and disappear. The last person walked out of the workshop silently, leaving only a lonely back. Meanwhile, another protagonist, Edward, is sipping expensive civet coffee at the hearing, arguing with the judge over the need for two beds in a ward, but a violent cough forces him to stop and watch The blood on the handkerchief, he felt something was wrong. However, by accident, Edward and Carter were admitted to a ward, and the story between two strangers with a huge difference in social class began. Two elderly people suffering from cancer, one is a top rich man and the other is a low-level mechanic, living in a ward. However, the mechanic Carter is often visited by his family, while the rich Edward has only one assistant. But Edward found that Carter was not very happy with his family's visit, and Carter also found Edward's loneliness. In this way, the two strangers became acquainted. They played cards and chatted together. They watched each other suffer from illness at night, and they also knew the countdown to their lives together. When Edward knew about the rest of his life, he seemed calm, and even asked the doctor to move out of the way, so as not to block him from watching the game, but after the doctor left, he turned his back and pondered alone. This is his dignity, even when he is about to die, let no one see his weakness. Before he learned of the rest of his life, Carter had always thought he would accept everything calmly, and thought it was a relief, showing that he was tired of his constant life and wanted to escape it. But when he was told that there was only one year left at most, he found out that he was wrong, he was still nostalgic for the world, and he still had a lot of things to do. He looked at the last wish he wrote earlier The list was crumpled up and thrown away. Think it's pointless. The next day, Edward saw the list, teased Carter that his list was too bad, and added a few more items. And convince Carter to complete the bucket list with him, so the two people's world tour begins. Carter and Edward went skydiving, racing cars, hunting lions on the prairie (actually just emptying their guns), going to Egypt to see the pyramids, to see the tomb of Khan, to the Great Wall of China, and to the foot of the Himalayas , but was told that he could not climb the mountain due to the weather, and he returned with regret. Their last stop was Hong Kong. Edward arranged an "adventure" for Carter, but after some conversation, Carter found that he still loved his wife deeply and opened his heart, so they decided to return. On this trip, they gained countless laughter and confessed the knot of each other's life, so Carter also wanted to help Edward make up for his regrets on the way, so he asked assistant Matthew to take them to Edward's daughter's house, but he did not expect Edward to be furious , that even tore up the bucket list, the two completely parted ways. In the end, Carter returned to his home and ate dinner with his family laughing and laughing, but Edward lived alone in the villa and lost his temper with the food. Carter and his wife also regained the original feeling, but Carter fell at this time. Edward, who received the news, rushed to the hospital in a hurry, but Carter handed him an introduction about civet coffee and asked Edward to read it out. The two laughed at each other and burst into tears. Carter also took out He took the bucket list that was torn apart by Edward and gave him to Edward, hoping that he could fulfill the rest of his wishes. Also left him a letter. Asking him to find his own happiness, Edward finally let go of his stubbornness and went to find his daughter. He found that her daughter had already forgiven him, and he had a little granddaughter. Edward kissed his granddaughter excitedly, and another last wish was fulfilled. In the end, Edward also died, and with Edward's eulogy at Carter's funeral, the assistant took his ashes up the Himalayas and put them together with Carter's. Their ashes were placed in a cheap coffee tin, just Like Carter said before, the two were buried on top of the mountain and will always be looking at the magnificent view. The last wish was fulfilled. Edward and Carter both have their own knots. Because of stubbornness, Edward was reluctant to take the initiative to seek reconciliation with his daughter, and then lived alone for decades; Carter gave up his ideals for the family, which exhausted all his energy, but he forgot himself, and the family gradually became a A yoke that binds him so much that in the end he thinks that death is also a release. fortunate Fortunately, they met each other, redeemed each other, and opened their hearts at the end of their lives. Hayao Miyazaki said that those who give you a lot of pain are also your salvation. I think the key to this is psychological change, or the redemption of the soul, letting go of stubbornness and discovering the happiness that is covered by pain. Life may be full of suffering, but he must be intertwined with joy and pain. Instead of complaining and struggling in pain every day, it is better to learn to redeem himself, and he will discover a new life. What impressed me the most in the movie was Carter's life. He once wanted to be a history professor and had lofty ideals, but the reality of life forced him to give up and could only find a decent job to support his family. During this period, he also thought about going back to school, so he read a lot of books and gained a lot of knowledge, but found that 45 years were fleeting, and his life just passed by. I believe that most of us are like Carter, who used to be full of ambitions, but in the end, life has smoothed the edges and corners. Every day, we live a mediocre life, gradually numb, and gradually lose the passion for life. Maybe one day I wake up, think of my former ideals, and want to fight for my dreams again, but I am unwilling to change my current life, or dare not change my life, and spend my life in this hesitation and struggle until death I woke up before, but it was too late. In this film, Carter asks Edward two questions on the pyramid, "Have you found joy in life? Have you brought joy to others in this life?" For myself, I may bring others Living joyfully, but still vague about the joys of my own life. Maybe I should find my purpose in life, learn to treat every day as the last day of my life, strive for my goal, make every day full of meaning, and every day should be full of fun. In an instant, a lifetime has passed. I believe that most of us are like Carter, who used to be full of ambitions, but in the end, life has smoothed the edges and corners.
