The story is set in Barcelona, but the beautiful scenery of the famous city can not be seen in the movie, there is no enthusiasm on the football field, and it is not as colorful and romantic as the lively Allen's "Love in Barcelona". Under the camera are the gray sky, the constant panic of illegal immigrants and black workers who sell pirated copies, dilapidated apartments, dark factories, as well as death and helplessness that cannot be escaped.
The protagonist of the story is a single father who is not too late in the morning, and who is not free to die and not to be sick. He is both a hooker and a psychic medium. One day he finds out that he has cancer and has only a few months to live. To make matters worse. The actor Javier Barton also performed in "Love in Barcelona". He enjoyed the tenderness in this film, and he was also in Barcelona, but this time he was in dire straits and experienced an unbelievably beautiful end. Only in a studio can one person rise and fall like this. If you experience it in real life, you will feel sad when you think about it. After all, this involves irreversible life and death, and it doesn't seem that "Battle of the Poor" can be restored with one click.
Such a small person is terminally ill, and there are still many worries. In the remaining days, the civil servant who failed to suffer from cancer as in Akira Kurosawa's "Ode to Liufang" radiates the afterglow of life before his death. Even if the male protagonist wants to achieve a few humble good things, he is powerless, and even ends in tragedy.
"Beautiful Last" is more than two hours long and has a somber tone. There is no special tear-jerking scene in the whole film, because everyone is about to cry without tears. The Chinese black workers and African ethnic groups in the play live at the bottom of the society in a foreign land, and they do jobs that are not seen every day. .
Looking back at Hong Kong, the people earning the minimum wage also live repeated lives every day, and there is always a lack of opportunities for upward mobility. How much better is the situation?
The surrounding is hazy weather, but the reality is so clear.
