This is another movie that I have watched many times. The first time I watched it was when I was in college, and it gave me a considerable impact at that time, not only the rivalry between the two Oscar winners Nicholson and Freeman, but also the theme of life and death.

The film tells the story of two old men with completely different personalities and life experiences, even different ones, who lived in the same ward because of cancer, changed from strangers to friends, and made a "bucket list" together to travel around the world to burn money. The two people brought these two old men with very different personalities to life, one is a "crazy, rebellious world rich man" and the other is a "steady, gentle and restrained technician". At the same time, the film also has scenes from many countries: Egypt's Pyramids, the Taj Mahal in India, the African savannah, the Great Wall in Beijing, the Himalayas in Tibet, Hong Kong, and many more exciting sports: skydiving, racing, hunting...
I don't want to write a movie review, what I want to write is a movie Here are the words that left the deepest impression on me and some of my insights.

Scene 1: The two of them face the pyramids of Egypt, Carter said: "The ancient Egyptians had a beautiful belief in death, when their souls reached the gate of heaven, God would ask them two questions, whether the gate of heaven is open or not depends on the question The answer. The first question: Have you ever been happy in your life? The second question: Have you brought happiness to others in your life?" A

person's life is neither long nor short. . But whether it has really lived, it is worth each of us to ponder. Some people spend their whole lives fighting for fame and fortune, and some people spend their whole lives in the eyes of others. The life that God has given us is only once in this life under the name of this body. Live well and live happily, more than anything else. . Do what you like, make yourself happy in your life, share without reservation, help others, bring warmth and love to others, and make the world a warmer place. Audrey Hepburn said: "We have two hands, one for hugging ourselves and the other for hugging others."

Scene 2: The last two returned to the United States from Hong Kong, and the Carter family (a big family) sat around At the dinner table, praying together, sharing food, and chatting; while Edward returned to his luxurious but empty room, angrily pounding the frozen food out of the refrigerator.

I was also very impressed by this picture. We sometimes grow up chasing too much what we can't get, while ignoring the people closest to us. No amount of fame and fortune can be taken away. Only by cherishing the people around you and what you already have is the kingly way. Do you want to leave with a pile of money when you are dying, or leave with no regrets holding your family's hand? Family is very important to me, they are like the importance of partners to Luffy in "One Piece". I am willing to share without reservation and make friends without hesitation. Friends are one of the people who like each other. What I want to hold well is my family. I am willing to accompany them all the time, and I hope they will always be with me. By your side, that's enough.

Scene Three: Carter is finally taken to the hospital, Edward reads the letter he wrote to him: "Go and find the joy in your life." "My pastor always said: 'Our lives are like brooks that end up in The same big river, above the waterfall at the end of the big river, looming behind the fog is paradise'. Find the joy of your life, Edward. Close your eyes, my dear friend, and let the water take you home."

Just like we It is often said: "Everything is one thing." Cherish every day of your life, be kind to people and things around you, be a person with a warm personality, find the happiness in your life, find the person you want to cherish, and follow your Destiny to deliver love and warmth. When you are dying, let the water take you home.
