It seemed like a fateful joke.
The middle-aged man who lost his beloved, could not bear the pain and loneliness in his heart, and decided to commit suicide.
So the film unfolds little by little the last day of a single man.
Get up step by step, take a shower, get dressed, go out to work, explain what happened behind you, and prepare for suicide.
But the joke of fate begins here. Men begin to discover the beauty of life. The liveliness of the neighbor's house, the date of the ex-girlfriend, the beauty of the secretary in the school, the approach and concern of the students after class, the beautiful body of the man on the court, the chat and conversation of the handsome guy in the roadside shop. It all seems worth it.
Most importantly, the energy and confusion of the student Kenny, his admiration, understanding and concern for him made his heart beat. Conversations in bars, naked swimming in sea water, treatment of forehead wounds, secretly hiding pistols. All this changed the man's mind. He threw his will into the fire, locked his pistol, and decided to accept the relationship, but at this moment he suffered a heart attack and died.
Fate's big joke. When you want to die, tell you that life is actually good; when you want to live, it takes you away without warning.
In fact, fate plays such a joke on everyone.
Imagine Kenny wakes up the next morning with contentment only to find that the teacher he admired has been gone for a long time; Kenny thinks he can finally develop a romantic relationship with a teacher who has the same heart and mind, but never has the chance; his ex-girlfriend The pursuit along the way can not exchange for the deep love of a man, or the deep love of anyone.
The seemingly delicate and perfect life is scarred by fate.
The way the film is performed is also worth remembering. The echo of the lover's kiss at the beginning and the end of the film; the change of the man's attitude towards everything around him; the change of the warm and cold colors of the picture;
After watching the movie, it reminded me of "Second Journey". It is also a middle-aged man who has lost his beloved; it is also a heart that is overwhelmed under the appearance of success; it is also a journey to seek relief and healing.
Hope fate is a little better for them! Be nice to us!
