When old age and disease torment oneself, dignity is lost, time is running out. I very much hope that my partner will choose to help me end my life like George in the film, but he certainly won't. He must have hoped that my whole body was filled with tubes, and my children and grandchildren came from afar, crying and texting their friends: My mother/grandma is going to die.
Then rescue, death, noisy funeral.
I came to this world crying, but wanted to leave quietly.
The film is about an old couple who has been engaged in music education for life, George and Annie. Their lives are very similar to Yeats's "When You Are Old". They love your youthful and cheerful face, and love your pilgrim's heart even more. They go shopping together, listen to concerts and chat together, which best interprets the four words in the Chinese love aesthetic: Xiangluyimo.
After a music party, a single beam of light hits the hall where the crowds are dispersed, and the old George and his wife in the circular aperture help to stand up. The lonely and abrupt light strongly hints to the audience: this pair The old couple is going to have a problem.
Sure enough, Annie was suddenly paralyzed by a stroke, and the noble temperament under the influence of music for a long time could not resist aging and illness, and she slowly couldn't take care of herself. George invited a caregiver, but the caregiver's brutal treatment of his lover irritated him, and he was determined to take care of his lover by himself. Their daughters come back to see their sick mothers, just like most of our children, after seeing the pain after crying, they continue to choose a life they can't avoid.
People are getting old, they really look like children. George is very clumsy, Anne is very nonsense, he awkwardly helps her bathe, feeds her, and dresses her. The self-esteem Anne looked at George, her eyes filled with calm sadness, she said, I have lived too long. While George was out for errands, she climbed onto the window sill and wanted to end herself by herself. George who came in time stopped her.
The director’s narrative is restrained and gentle, and the harsh truth no longer needs to be rendered. Everyone in the film calmly and helplessly accepts the arrangements of fate. The rationality of European thought runs through the entire film, and the audience does not see any signs of climax. , I probably thought that one day when George prepared breakfast and brought it to Anne's pillow, she had already quietly left-and this pure Chinese aesthetic would obviously not be satisfied by Western directors.
The plot advances as usual. Anne's body is getting worse and worse. George holds her and tells her stories of her youth. She is very tired and closes her eyes to rest. At this time, like a thunderstorm, like lightning, George picked up the pillow beside him. . . Until Annie stopped struggling.
The film was finally fixed on the rows of clothes in the cloakroom. They wore those clothes for a lifetime.
In the life of the vast majority of people, the four words "magnificent and magnificent" that are not worthy of all are just in the emotion of restraint and forbearance, in the helpless choice and being chosen, trying to reach the illusion of a life that is always unsatisfactory. In the end, he had no choice but to die.
I didn't have the courage to look again because I had already doubted love. We often climax alone in all kinds of lust under the guise of love.
The fallen leaves, snow, footsteps, and laughter of the past, they look very beautiful, but it is precisely because they have died. . .
