The movie "The Coolest Day" tells the story of two middle-aged men suffering from cancer. In order not to leave any regrets in their lives, they went to Africa for the rest of their lives when they were sentenced by the doctor. The two cashed out with a credit card to make the trip. After returning, the credit card owner hung up, and the other was misdiagnosed, mistaking narcolepsy for brain cancer.
This trip, because of the determination to die, has done everything that seems impossible due to the constraints of reality. It is the best day to find each other.
The storyline of the film is similar to that of Bucket List, which was released in the United States in 2007. In "Battery List", two middle-aged men are replaced by elderly men who are also cancer patients, one is the CEO of a health care institution, and the other is a mechanic.
Although the two have different values, they are still with each other, and they will realize the dreams that they have listed together that have not yet been realized.
Both films explore the theme of how people live their limited lives in the future. In the film, the future time becomes visible short, which in turn stimulates the sense of urgency that it is too late to do it, and promotes quick action.
For ordinary people, the future always grows to the point of not being able to see the end at a glance, so they rarely think about what the future will be like and how to spend it. Of course, it is also possible that you have lofty ideals and have set small goals for yourself, drawn a blueprint, or designed a path to pursue your dreams.
The future contains endless changes, and because of its uncertainty, people often yearn for it. But very few people can be as ruthless to themselves as the protagonists of the first two movies, and really use the future to achieve those things they want to do but haven't done yet. Some even reached the end of their lives and had no choice but to leave with regret.
The question is, how should we face our dreams and how to take the road of the future? According to the plan, there is nothing wrong with living a step-by-step life, so that a step-by-step path can be built between the present and the future.
Of course, more often than not, we will have many excuses not to realize the things in our dreams. We will look forward to the future, weigh the pros and cons, and then say that this is not possible, that is not possible, and we watch the dream burst like soap bubbles, or like a pick. Air-dried like red fruit.
Confined to the real life, seemingly stable and stable, it will also make you fall into the state of being self-sufficient and immortal.
If you want to make life full of life, full of surprises and surprises, then take a look at the two films introduced at the beginning. Of course, if I had to recommend it, I would lean more towards Bucket List.
Although these two films will give you the courage to get out of the status quo, in "The Bucket List", the two old actors of Jack Nicole and Morgan Freeman will make you feel that the process of realizing the last wish in life is How rich and joyful.
"The Coolest Day", although it is a 2016 film, but the characters of the two middle-aged men are relatively vague, one takes Mozart as his life goal, but suffers from the eccentric pianist Andy who cannot become famous, and the other is the eccentric pianist Andy. Benno, who has accomplished nothing and is in a daze.
These two people who are unreliable in real life, although they incorporated small dramatic gimmicks along the way, such as face-to-face encounters with wild animals on the African grasslands, and travel with African boys, but Andy That fragile, neurotic personality is really annoying.
And even though Benno dared to think and do more than Andy, he went to the wedding scene of his ex-girlfriend and disturbed the wedding, which was still unpopular. There is no turbulence in the plot of this film, and it rarely touches the heart after watching it.
The "Wish List" is very distinctive in terms of the span of the location and the way to realize the wish, and it is a kind of deep enjoyment. What are the unfulfilled dreams of two old men who learned that they had cancer? The list is as follows:
Skydive / tattoo / drive a Ford / travel the world / see magnificent scenery / help a stranger / kiss the most beautiful girl / meet the dearest person
This seemingly simple list is very dramatic to realize, and it also controls the rhythm of the relationship between the two very well. As we walk, we get to know each other, each other's life experiences, the loss of contact between father and daughter, and other unresolved complexes in our hearts, and the secrets that haunt our hearts. After collision and sharing, the two of them walked along the way, both excited and quarrelled, and tacitly helped each other. Maintain individuality and respect each other.
The Bucket List is full of in-depth discussions on life, and these large-scale propositions are infiltrated into small things, such as chatting while walking, or expressing through eating and drinking.
The beautiful location makes the last wishes of the two people perfect, whether it is romantic France, wild animals in the Ethiopian grasslands, the mysterious Egyptian pyramids, the Taj Mahal in India, or the magnificent Great Wall of China, the Himalayas covered in snow. The mountains and the pearly night of Hong Kong make the vision jump and feast for the eyes.
And in the small conflicts where the last wishes are fulfilled, you can't help thinking, how will we live in the future? Is it still immutable and following the rules, bound by reality and intimidating, or do you have the courage to break through yourself and truly achieve everything you want?
The future is not far away for anyone, it is just made up of an infinite number of next seconds, the future tense of every present. As long as we have the courage to face the present and break through the present every day, maybe every day will be the best, and every day will not leave any regrets for the future.
