The result was quite disappointing. Really nm American main theme, the plot is old-fashioned, sensational and vulgar, if there are no two old drama bones, I really don't know how to last these more than 90 minutes.
The skeleton of the film is like this: an old man with a lot of money and an old man from ordinary working people both had terminal cancer and were both declared by doctors to have only one year to live, so two people who were connected to the disease decided to have fun together before dying. One, to fulfill some wishes that could not be fulfilled in a lifetime.
This kind of story is already very routine, and whether it can be told well depends entirely on your screenwriter's realm - how to arrange the last wishes of the two old men. It's a pity that the screenwriter's realm has not jumped out of an ordinary person at all, and there are still things that people on earth can think of: eat a big meal, drive a good car, and travel around the world. Breakfast in France in the morning, lunch in Russia at noon, supper in Hong Kong in the evening... Going for a walk at the Taj Mahal, watching the sunrise at the Pyramids, driving a motorcycle on the Great Wall... 10,000 ordinary people will unify things that are obscene. The screenwriter and director are trying again. I just wanted to ask: can't you have more fresh ones? !
In order not to stay in the low-level pursuit of eating, drinking, and drinking, and to prove that "we are also people with noble sentiments", the screenwriter still raised it a bit, sublimated it, and found a spiritual foothold for "the meaning of life", but It's nothing more than family, relatives and love - the father and daughter who had misunderstood for many years solved the knot, and the awkward friend resolved with a touching letter... I guessed the first, and I also guessed the ending! It's a cliché. When will it stop? !
In order to create an atmosphere, many warm films will turn the scenes and plots into fairy tales and beautify them. For example, the weather is always clear and the ground is always clean, and the hero and heroine never need to eat, drink and lasa... We understand this artistic method, but the two terminally ill old men , I was still vomiting in the hospital bed just now, and I immediately became stronger than an athlete on the journey. Isn't it too surreal? Another wife who has been with the male protagonist for 45 years, even if she is just an adult when they get married, can't she be as young, beautiful and lively as a girl now? Dreaming is also a bit of a career.
It's really hard for Nicholson and Morgan Feynman to act so hard to make this pale film look good. Ah yes, the photography is still good too - if those weren't made with computer animation.
