The film tells the story of a professor who learns that he is terminally ill with cancer and begins to let himself go, leaving his truest self to his family, friends and students. The content of the film is interesting enough. The professor removes all the disguise of humor and freedom, and directly hits the essence of everyone's life around him. The design at the end is also very brilliant. Although the things at the banquet are slightly back to the mainstream and mediocrity, the last picture completely sublimates the expression in a metaphorical way. When there was a fork in the road in front of him, the professor drove his car into the darkness without a road, as if he had rushed into the starry sky. Go to his choice and be yourself is the real life. However, in terms of audio-visual language, the film's performance is a bit poor. Although I understand that the director wants to handle it in a sketch style and a sense of the stage, the details of the shots are a bit poor. For example, the performance after learning about cancer in the first scene, the reaction after the long circuit is understandable, but the scene of a person walking around dryly is too boring, and the tension of the picture itself is not enough, not to mention that this method is used in the title. There's also not enough emotional support for the characters.

The Professor quotes

  • Claire: The person one loves at first is not the person one loves at last. Love is not an end. It's a process through which one person attempts to know another.

    [pause]

    Claire: That's it.

    Richard: And, in a word?

    Claire: In TWO words, deceptively simple.

  • Peter: Why are you wearing sunglasses?

    Richard: I have cancer. I'm supposed to wear sunglasses in unusual places.
