The film tells the mental journey of a university professor suffering from cancer from five chapters: (1) I have something to say; (2) I am going to fuck up; (3) I am really going to die; (4) I feel slowly Come up; (5) I still have something to say, these five chapters basically correspond to the process of the actor Richard's shock - indulgence - panic - acceptance - nostalgia.
The male protagonist knows his behavior after a short time. Compared with the past, he is indeed a little reckless, but there is nothing too out of the ordinary. Life and death are big, and everything else is trivial, so Richard seemed very calm after learning that his daughter was gay and his wife cheated. Does he not mind? Of course I do, but there is nothing more important than being free to live. If it weren't for the fact that the male protagonist was terminally ill, what he said to his friends, daughters, and students in the play would have been clichés.
Different scenes, completely different feelings, the hero's life is gradually disappearing, every day seems precious, and standing in front of him is a group of young people who are full of longing for the future, their time seems to be used all the time. Not quite. I feel that the male protagonist has not completely jumped out of the original framework. Perhaps the script limited his performance, or for other reasons, I always felt that the male protagonist did not perform well.
For a dying person, before he leaves this world, he should most want to fulfill his unfinished dream, which is not reflected in the film. And the male protagonist chooses to leave relatives and friends to a strange place to bid farewell to the world. If so, why should so many people know about it. How could those who watched him leave so easily let go? It seems that under normal circumstances, don't the protagonists leave a letter and leave silently?
Of course, there are thousands of ways to say goodbye, only one of which is shown in the film. It also leaves a lesson for the audience: how do we say goodbye to the world we love?
