Inheriting the essence of countless Hollywood romances, a man and a woman are hopelessly in love in a coffee shop, and the things that follow are weird and bizarre, but after all, a lover gets married. Of course, the film focuses on the two aspects of family and love. Death came to the world, ready to take away the old old Parrish, but because the young man he possessed and the youngest daughter of the old Parrish, Susan, had a different relationship. The ordinary one-sided relationship complicates the whole incident, and deduces a tragicomedy of life and death, love and hatred.
Old Parrish's composure in front of Death was shocking, and that calm expression still haunts my mind. When Death appears in a family's life, when Death spreads his hands and asks for a deal, old Parrish's Calmness doesn't seem so natural, but it is from such a calm attitude that a strong sense of responsibility for the family and a deep love for children are revealed. Old Parrish has always maintained a relationship with the god of death as both an enemy and a friend. On the one hand, he needs to be with the god of death. Dealing with each other, on the other hand, he had to get along with the god of death as a friend. At this point, I remembered what Gu Long said, that sometimes a person finds that the only person he can trust is his own enemy. Yes, death is the enemy of people, but the film does not strongly render the fear of death. On the contrary, the director shows the god of death as a warm animal. No matter how much fear people have about death, there will come a day when people will feel how necessary death is for an old man who has run out of light.
What is clumsily handled in the film is the love between Susan and Jeo Black, the god of death. In the coffee shop, Susan met a real young man. She did not know that after leaving the coffee shop, the young man suffered a car accident, which means that What I saw at home at night was nothing but the husk of the soul lurking in death. Later, Susan fell in love with this human-ghost hybrid. At the end of the film, death left and the young man returned to the world. So the whole thing became far-fetched, whether Susan loved the soul of death or the body of a young man. At this point, people may have to think about what kind of love concept the film promotes.
Old Parrish's eldest son-in-law is a useless person, but he gave the most perfect definition of love, which is that two people can spit each other's privacy and tolerate each other. The real hot love can last for at most eighteen months, but there are so many couples who can grow old together, precisely because two people can support and understand each other. This is also what I think this film is worth affirming. Maybe there is no vigorous love, but it can also be happy for a lifetime. Therefore, love is not a luxury house or a famous car that many people think, but a stable psychological dependence.
Death finally took old Parrish, for Death, he could have taken with his lover, I don't quite agree that this is attributed to "loving a person should make her happy", just remembered, if If you can't get it, try your best not to forget it. In fact, it is better to leave good memories than to destroy all good things and hide some feelings secretly, which is good for everyone.
