After reviewing this masterpiece, a sentence from "Live the Meaning of Life" suddenly popped into my mind: Everyone wants to change the past, but they don't know that what you are experiencing now is the past that you want to change in the future.
It’s just that none of us know how far into the future, so we all believe that the concessions we make today to live on will be made up at some point in the future.
In the story, the two protagonists seem to be living their own beautiful lives, but secretly complain that they are dragged down by life.
If it weren't for cancer, Carter and Edward, two very different personalities, might never have met.
Carter is an auto mechanic. With the dream of a history professor, he chose to forbear under the pressure of life. He always thought that he would return to academia one day, but 45 years passed by in a flash.
Edward is undoubtedly a success in the eyes of the world. He started from scratch at the age of 16 and is now worth billions. It is a pity that he has everything in life, except for his family.
They are two extremes, one adores beliefs, the other lives unfettered; one is willing to give up his ideals for the sake of his family, and the other is willing to give up everything to achieve his goals.
But they secretly care about what they lack and what the other has...
When he saw Carter's family come to visit, Edward told him: "I've seen most of the patients being annoyed by the visitor rather than dying of it; I've seen Edward profligate, overeating and then having to spit it all out. At the time, Carter said: Delicious food was spit down the toilet...
The only thing they have in common is that they each have at most a year left.
The movie says that 96% of people don't want to know how much they have left in their lives, I think that's because when we know the end of our lives, we don't know how to use the remaining time.
It is precisely because we don't know when we will leave this world in the future that we spend our time righteously, don't we?
Unfortunately, Edward and Carter were informed in advance of their remaining time. It stands to reason that they should all live the rest of their predictable lives: Edward continued to work and pretended not to care about his illness; Carter returned home and spent his last moments in the sympathy and pity of his loved ones.
If this is the case, their life may be nothing but an ordinary life, regrettable and irreversible.
However, Carter has written a bucket list, and Edward is desperate to execute it... Carter's romanticism and Edward's savage style are perfectly combined for the first time, starting their new and final journey in their lives. .
Carter, who never dared to fly, experienced the first skydive in his life; Edward, who had a soft pillow on a high bed, was shaken to the ground by the rear boost of a shotgun; they traveled more than half of the world, and they became best friends...
Edward opens up to Carter...
Damn it...the mobile phone code is poisonous!
