professor and mortal

Lonely, from the beginning to the end of the film. It doesn't make a difference because you are rich, have a wife, children, faithful friends.... Everyone, living in the world, when death comes, can only face it alone. Some of the "people are dying" kind words, or the enlightenment after struggling with a tenured professor who was championed by a group of capable and speculative college students, are not meant to educate people not to waste their time, because the proverbs told by the professor do not match. The kind that can be fragrant. Why can't those words come from divers and plumbers with cancer? When it is certain that the time will be less and less, and the countdown of life is really entering, what else is worth worrying about? green hat? Is it affection? Friendship? No, you can't take anything with you when you die. Only pain and fear are real. People who are dying are completely different from other people, and only one person can feel the loneliness. Only one person will die, only one person will die! If there is any concern, it is the enemy (wife) who does not want to be his own, and his innocent daughter's body after seeing her withered body after being tortured by lung cancer. In the final soundtrack, Depp was sobbing in the car alone, and the shrill laughter, accompanied by the bright moonlight, was not detachment, but an abyss. I'm dying, but I'm still at the crossroads, yes, helpless. But, isn't it just death, you are making such a joke with me, fuck it.... 99% of the foreshadowing, so much has been said, but the director expresses what he wants to say in the 1% of silence by combining time and space with expressions. It is the ending that elevates the whole film, and at the end I suddenly understand that the director is not trying to be novel, funny, and nonsensical. How can we not be crazy before it perishes. Accept it or not, it's coming soon, the professor is definitely different, the professor should be taller, but the laughter buries me.

    As a small-cost film about death education, it is worth watching for young people. The screenwriter and the soundtrack are very good, and several lines are very thought-provoking. The director's level is average. The acting skills given to three stars and one star to Uncle Pu have brought the struggles of a dying person to his bones. The final scene with his daughter was even more teary.

The Professor quotes

  • Richard: In each and every moment we're composing stories of our lives, let's aim to make it a meaningful read... or at least an interesting one

  • Olivia: Why are you and mom are still together?

    Richard: I think as you get older, you, um, find yourself needing someone to hold accountable for life NOT turning out exactly as you'd imagine it. But listen to me, not every relationship has to be that. I mean, having said that, most are.
