As of January 25, 2019, I have watched three movies, Once Upon a Time in America, Bumblebee, Bucket List . Time flies really fast, so fast that it feels like I haven't had time to catch something.
The movie I want to write this time is the movie Bucket List.
I watched this movie twice. It was the first time I saw the first half. I couldn't watch it because of some things. I didn't feel any special after watching the first half. The second time is to watch the whole drama completely. In the second half, the plot is very simple. In addition to earning enough tears, it also made me fall into a new round of life thinking.
According to international practice, there should be a plot introduction here (spoilers involved, you can skip it yourself) , two old men, by accident, were admitted to the same ward in the same hospital. One is a rich man and the other is an automaker. The two are so different, the rich have money, but the automaker doesn't; the automaker has relatives, but the rich don't.
But the same thing is that they know their own death on the same day, and they also don't have much time to live. The automaker makes a bucket list for himself, and even though it's all ethereal metaphors, like helping a stranger, seeing unparalleled beauty, etc., but the rich man finds it a good idea,
So they set off together, doing the things on the list that they didn't do before they died. They skydive, raced cars, went around the world, and came back one more husband and one more father.
Luckily, the checklist is done at the end of their lives, so life is over.
In fact, to tell the truth, this kind of sensational routine can be seen from the movie. I thought it was a bit boring. I laughed two-thirds in front, and finally started to cry. Start to reflect on your life.
There are a few scenes that really impressed me, the first one is two old people talking about faith on the plane . Automan is a man of faith, he is very religious, he has the same faith as 95% of the people, but the rich man no, he said if I pray to the sky God still won't take away my disease, so he doesn't believe Supernatural power, so he has no faith.
Because of his belief, the automaker has always been loyal to his wife and his family. Because he doesn't believe in any bondage, the rich man got his current wealth from scratch. Of course, the movie doesn't give you a standard answer about whether people need faith. This is an open-ended question.
It seems to be saying that people should stick to what they believe. Those who have faith believe in faith, and those who do not believe believe in other people's beliefs that no matter what, they can have meaning in their lives
Another question worth thinking about is that it is said that when the soul sees God, God will ask two questions, have you ever been happy in your life? Have you ever brought happiness to others in your life? This life question seems to be asking us? The meaning of life lies in your happiness in life, and happiness is not only the happiness you think, but also the happiness you bring to others.
That's why the second item on the bucket list is to help a stranger. Don't wait until you die, ask yourself now, if the answer is yes go ahead, if no then do something about it.
96% of people do not want to know when they will die. Although everyone has different attitudes towards death, their fears are more or less the same.
Death fills us with reverence for life. And like the title of the film, "Bucket List", as the name suggests, is a wish to be fulfilled before death. No one knows the date of his death, and no one wants to know the date of his death, so we always feel that we still have a lot of time, and many things can be done. Do it slowly.
The film is to present to us the death of two old men and how they died, and you need to know how we should live after watching it. Fortunately, we still have time, we cannot and should not realize the meaning of life when we face death, only to realize that we have done a lot of things and have done a lot of wrong, then it will be too late.
At the end of watching the film, the only thing I want to do is to write down my own bucket list, and write down all the things that I will regret if I don't do it. There may only be a list between dreams and realization.
Good Night
Finally, sum up the movie with a sentence, "I don't know how to die without knowing what I'm born"
See you next time!
