Together we will live forever.
It seems that discussing immortality is an eternal topic for human beings, from the Qin Shihuang in memory to the recent movie The Fountain. If immortality, the rest is endless loneliness, like the hero of the story waiting on the planet tree of Life.
No subtitles, just try to listen, see, and understand. Like "The Passion of the Christ", such films are more through the pictures, through the continuation of the plot, through the rendering of emotions, through music, and through the transmission beyond language, so that the audience can understand.
In the end, the story does not have eternity, or the life of the entity does not get eternity. Only the spirit and the eternity of thought can become the eternal goal of human beings. I am not a student of biology, and perhaps the eternity of life can be realized in the biological field, it is only a matter of time. But it happens that a good film appears in an era where it has not been realized, and we can only choose spiritual eternity.
-We are almost here.
-Finish it.
In stories, death is the beginning of life. This is also the most important and precious thought in Buddhism, who will go to hell if I don't go to hell. Death is not the end, but another beginning. It's just that I'm used to the God Wheel in the West. When I see the protagonist doing Tai Chi, the scene of Zen meditation is a bit awkward.
Love is the main thread that runs through the whole story, and reality and consciousness are tightly connected through that ring. I did not hear some sentences about medicine, so I am not very clear about the monkey. It seems to be about the repair function of cells. The protagonist also seems to want to find the secret of eternal life from this monkey.
The most touching thing is the protagonist's whispered words to the tree of life in the planet, and the words are full of warmth. I just need take a little. He seems to need it to keep himself alive. It can be seen from the end of the film that he also coveted eternal life and turned into a piece of soil.
Finally work or finally love. The protagonist chooses love at the end, recovers his wife from the laboratory, and finally draws the final sentence to the story of his wife, and finally reaches the place where the dead planet is reborn in the story. This seems to imply that the story is not about immortality, but about the eternal love that never leaves on the road of pursuing immortality.
The movie was discovered by accident. On the night before the last semester of the senior year, I turned off the lights and watched it quietly in the dormitory. I listened to the music at the end of the film again and again and finally wrote these scattered thoughts. It's also a little consolation for being bored.
