As the return of the public lover Johnny Depp , his new film "The Professor" (The Professor) does have a lot of charm.
The 90-minute literary and artistic story did not drag on at all. One more second opened the story gap and pushed Professor Richard (played by Johnny Depp) to the brink of fate.
A tenured professor of university literature, living a boring middle-class life, over middle-aged, failed marriages, his daughter is swaying about sexual orientation, and every day he tells students who don't like literature things that he is not very interested in, Richard thinks Such a life would follow him to the grave, but a sick note from terminal cancer made him suffer the blow of fate.
He went from being unacceptable to determined to begin to change. With only 6 months left in his life, he wasn't going to spend it in hopeless treatment, in a hospital bed, he was going to start living the life he had dreamed of and had never experienced before.
More importantly, he decided to live a serious life for himself in a limited time, from work to family, from family to love, he was no longer groggy, he held every second hard and experienced unprecedented arbitrariness. delusional. In a physiological sense, Richard is gradually dying, but psychologically, he is living more and more full of vitality. He first sought change in his living room. He kindly invited students who didn't like literature classes to leave, and promised to give them passing grades at the end of the class.
Then let the remaining classmates read a favorite book by themselves, introduce the book to everyone through their own understanding, and rate him through his own speech. Most importantly, students must genuinely enjoy the book. In order to get rid of all kinds of restrictions, he took the class to the bar, outdoors, quite a bit like an ancient Greek philosopher. They not only talked about literature, but also about life. He embodied the students time and time again, respecting their own hearts, not converging with the public, not following the crowd, and wasting their talents.
At the same time, he is looking for a change in his own life. Experience all kinds of madness, strike up a conversation with beautiful women, and even experience same-sex love. He began to face his broken marriage, and he let it go in the face of a physically cheating wife, and he understood the tediousness of marriage and the damage caused by his indifference to his wife.
His strong friendship with his colleague Peter means he has to learn to say goodbye and comfort others before his own death. Although he is terminally ill, he is by no means waiting for the comfort of others, but needs to let everyone adapt to his sudden "disappearance" in the future before he leaves.
"Professor" activates his beliefs and thinking about life by driving the hero to death . This design is extremely flattering when the character is isolated, and Johnny Depp's natural romantic image makes the film's characters stand up quickly. Richard's words and deeds have a certain self-evident persuasive force because of his fate towards death. He is not wise, but he is magnanimous enough.
As a literature teacher who has not received much attention, he has accomplished self-redemption by means of his own "expression", and has also dealt with his relationship with others.
He had hope for his students: "You are already an endangered species in the world, and I implore you, don't choose mediocrity, don't be mediocre, like the other 98 percent of the world, because the world is devastated, you You have to rely on yourself, cherish every minute and second, cherish every breath , life is actually a song of birds."
He never forgets his wife: " You are a respectable opponent . It is my greatest honor to be able to call you my wife, because my life would be even poorer without you. Thank you, I love you."
He loved his daughter who had come out of the closet deeply: "I am proud of you, because you have fulfilled all the expectations and longings of a father for his daughter, and you have to do better. You must stick to your own path, this It's your choice and you have to move forward."
He has great respect for his friends and colleagues: "Thank you for the precious friendship you have given me, and this university is proud to have you."
At the end of the film, Richard firmly implements his "seclusion" plan, not to bring death to anyone he loves, and he decides to face death alone.
At the dark intersection, he questioned for a moment, and then he stepped on the accelerator, the car quickly got rid of all paths, and rushed straight to the bumpy grass, as if there was a hidden road, leading all the way to the mountain, to the moon, straight to heaven.
"Professor" handles death gracefully , without the sensationalism of Japanese and Korean films, nor the hypocritical selling of most films. It relies on the charisma of the characters and the understanding of death to give the film a refined classicism soaked in nihilistic alcohol Drunk and dizzy.
