A movie with a curious and ingenious conception. It is rare to see an American comedy film that is so artistic, well-structured and thoughtful, and the screenwriter is whimsical. In the film, Harlow becomes the hero of the depressed writer, who controls his life and decides when he will die. Harlow lives a rigid life every day, and his work and rest are controlled at precise times every day. He has become accustomed to it and doesn't feel anything wrong, until one day, he heard a female voice narration, using rational and precise narration. When the literary language of the book describes his current life, and predicts his imminent death without emotion, he suddenly panics and searches for people who can help him. With the help of his literature professor, he tries to change his way of life to pursue the life he wants to live, just as he is trying to get rid of the stereotypes of the past and enjoy the happiness and passion that the new life brings him, he must go Death, even if there are thousands of people who are unwilling...isn't our life like this, repeating every day, getting used to two points and one line, in order to have a stable and controllable life, giving up the pursuit of the dream life in our hearts is what life is all about. Forced, but maybe it is just a shield for our habitual life, in fact, we are afraid of taking unforeseen risks to change our lives in pursuit of our inner dreams, and we are afraid of life without a sense of security. But sometimes life just requires us to make a small change and we can be happier and more fulfilled. For example, if you are not busy going home after get off work, go to the movies, or go shopping with friends; don't just stare at the computer screen at work, look at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, and look at the green ivy on the table, you will feel much better . The state is born from the heart. If you want to live a good life, you also need to have a sincerity to find beautiful things.

Professor Jules Hilbert: [walking to pool] Some plots are moved forward by external events and crises. Others are moved forward by the characters themselves. If I go through that door, the plot continues. The story of me through the door. If I stay here the plot can't move forward, the story ends. Also if I stay here, I'm late.
