life list

How many things in one's life need to be done, or should be done, but are not done? How much of a person's life is entirely for themselves? (Although the idea is selfish under our education system). No time, no money, no energy, serious things to do, bigger goals, excuses, excuses, excuses...

Do you have to wait until the end of your life to have time, reason, and opportunity to do it?

Two sixty-six-year-old old guys, one is a business owner, rebellious, and has worked hard all his life to save thousands of family fortunes, but when he grows old, he is alone; He was forced to be a car mechanic and worked hard all his life. He grew up with a harmonious family and his sons and daughters had their own achievements. While the two were still struggling in their respective positions, cancer brought them to the same ward, and two people from different worlds had an intersection at the last moment of their lives.

Feeling pity for each other, I realized that there are still many uncompeted wishes and dreams in life. The two of them wrote down a list of things they wanted to do but haven't done yet, ready to take advantage of the last moments of their lives to realize them one by one. Climbing in the Himalayas, riding a motorcycle on the Great Wall, walking in the Taj Mahal, watching the sunset at the top of the pyramids, having dinner in Hong Kong; driving the fastest car and kissing the most beautiful woman. The two got to know each other and supported each other along the way. Let's untie the knots in our hearts together.

He wanted to take the last chance to help him find the love of his relatives, but he refused angrily. He claimed that he did not need the pity and care of others, and that he could live happily without the warmth of family. However, when he came home to enjoy the warmth of the family, he was angry at the fast food that could not be disassembled in the large empty room, and wept to the night outside the window. What is the most important thing in life? In fact, both of them have found the answer here. At the end, he helped him open the knot in his heart and regain the warmth of his family.

In the end, the two old people finally slept together on the highest peak of the mountain, and fulfilled the last wish on the list. When they left, their eyes were closed, but their hearts were open.

The meticulous work of the two old actors is touching.

Morgan Freeman, remember when he first saw him, he was very old. He has played Luye all his life, most of them are wise old men, his eyes are full of understanding and open-mindedness; Jack Nicholson, long time no see, he is also old, his stomach covers the insteps, and his sparse white hair begins to bald. But there is still a flash of inspiration, I still like him very much, and I dream of being a neighbor with him one day.

Remember the wish you wrote back then? I wonder if I will hear the voice of the mountain when I stand on the top of the world one day?

At least, we can sit down to two points:

1. We want to laugh until we cry;

2. Find the joy in your life.
