About love and choice | A little peek from the psychic detective

The film tells the story of two people who can penetrate into the future, and their respective choices for terminally ill patients who are about to complete their life journey.
Because of the foreseeable pain, Charles played the pre-terminator, murdering one terminally ill patient after another.
Old John couldn't let go of the pain of ending his daughter's chemotherapy for leukemia for a long time, and avoided seeing his wife for many years.
However, at the request of his old friend Joe, he participated in the investigation of the murder case and quietly launched a competition with Charles.
At the end of the film, a hug between old John and his wife means that John has been redeemed in the game with Charles.

The ubiquitous moral collision is wonderful, helpless, and contradictory.

"sometimes the greatest acts of love are the hardest acts to commit." The greatest acts of love are
often the hardest to commit.

The experience of John and his daughter in the film is the embodiment of this contradiction.

Parents often play the role of Charles for their children. The difference is that because Charles can see the future, the film pushes this contradiction to the extreme of life, and the pain that may be experienced is clearly arranged.

And when parents regard their own experience as a possible future, and this kind of contradiction does not touch life, the topic seems to be much more friendly and more ordinary

-because there will be detours, then you should not experience the pain of trekking, I'll take you to a shortcut.

Our parents told us
- "That year, I opened the window and was scorched all over by the sun, so in order for you not to suffer the same torment, you must not repeat the same mistakes."
So they came over to block the window and shouted
- "Don't open it, Open it and you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
But we are still hesitant, really?
- "Be obedient, I'm here, we won't hurt you, we love you".

At this time, through a few rays of light from the window, curiosity and rebellious psychology will more strongly drive us to break through all obstacles to open the window, yes, just want to see what is outside the window.

And parents do their best to tell their own pain, or they have seen the pain of others, stop, stop, stop.

There are only two endings. The window is opened, and the bond of close relatives is broken; the window remains the same, and the child grows in the shadow.

So what is outside the window?

Outside the window that year, it was hot sunshine, don't question what your parents saw and experienced.
But what about this year? Is it still the hot sun?
no one knows.

Everything is based on the premise of possible assumptions, so that the children trapped in the house may escape the burns of the sun, but they also miss the joy of sucking the fragrance of the soil and the sweetness of chewing the blue sky and white clouds, and they miss the sweetness of the blue sky and white clouds that should belong to them. window experience.

So is there another way to deal with the problem of opening windows?

Maybe parents and children can sit at the window with their children, knee to knee, and imagine the possibilities outside the window: describe the experience of being burned, not just the pain of being burned; imagine the consequences more terrible than sunburn; The wonderful scenery outside the window is different...

then get up with a smile, apply sunscreen to the child with a smile, and prepare the luggage.

Under the cover of great love, kidnapping life in the name of love is perhaps the greatest sorrow.

In the film, Joe said when he was dying, I still have a lot of things to do, I know I will die, but it will be a few months later...
Yes, his life has been chosen, and he also died in pain Among them, this pain stems from the unknown and unwillingness.

In the movie, how to finish your life, the choices should be theirs.
In life, how to choose your life, the choices should also be yours.

So what do you do when you become a parent one day, or when you are already a parent?

    For some movies, after watching them for ten minutes, I can basically be sure that I will like them, such as "Walking Heaven"; for some movies, after watching them for ten minutes, I can probably guess that I will not like them. "Spiritual Detective": The unnaturalness in the storyboard first made me dislike it, and the MV segment in the middle (although the picture is good and the music also likes) made me wonder where the director went? ...Reminiscent of "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Detective", this film is far behind!

    It's a big movie on the outside, and a bad movie on the inside. It was old Hannibal who saw me sigh with emotion for a while...

Solace quotes

  • Charles Ambrose: I don't enjoy the work I do, John. It's not a fetish. It's about allowing those who are already dying... to die with some dignity. Sometimes the greatest acts of love are the hardest acts to commit.

  • Charles Ambrose: I have no interest in playing God. As far as his work is concerned, I'm not impressed.
