an education about death

On a boring night, the driving force that attracted me to watch it was entirely because of George Clooney. The story takes place in Hawaii, a vacation destination that people all over the world yearn for. Interestingly, there is a joke from the beginning to the end of the film, even if it is Hawaii, which is known as a paradise on earth, it is also on earth. There are also joys and sorrows. Perhaps in our values today, it is not a sad story for a middle-aged man to be widowed and his wife cheated on the premise that he is worth billions and has a successful career. The grief of the male protagonist is simply moaning. But as the story of the film develops, you will find that the director has a rough discussion on the education that death brings to us. Everyone will face death someday for our education. Whether it is the death of a loved one, or the imminent death of oneself. Whether you are ready or not, it is in a corner, neither humble nor arrogant, silent. Waiting for an opportunity and waiting for a certain moment, it appeared quietly. I have always believed that early exposure to education about death allows us to see life and the essence of life earlier. Let our life be unhurried and unhurried. You just have to live today, and tomorrow will come. So happy to be able to watch a movie that seemed light and not so light-hearted on a Monday night the next day. Everything is just good enough for you to understand.

The director is really good. Such a stereotypical mid-life crisis mixes life and death, and it can also capture sincere feelings and the poetic life of Hawaii's light sea breeze. But apart from the emotional part, which is worthy of praise, the others are thin, and the character of Clooney is not full enough.

The older George gets, the more flavorful he is, especially when he interprets "forbearance".
