Unfortunately, I can't feel that this film is worth 7.6 points.
In fact, the character of this film is not unfamiliar. Woody Ellen's Irrational Man also explored a decadent philosophy professor who lost his meaning in life and explored human nature. Under the seduce of student Emma Stone, he went out of the wall and even conducted a human nature experiment for what he thought was "justice." Took the lives of other people. The idea of "The Unreasonable Man" is obviously much higher than that of this film. "Professor" reveals that a professor of English who has a mediocre life and has not realized his dream. After discovering that he has only half a year of life, he decides to seize the last chance to try the "ghosting" he has never tried: marijuana, sex, homosexual behavior, face up Empty family: cheating wife, daughter who came out, encourage a group of students who like literature and philosophy, do what you like, and contribute to changing the world, blablabla. I think why the ideas of American screenwriters are so homogenous, why do people have to do things that are dangerous and unscrupulous when they are about to die? Is it true that by doing something "wrong" that you have never done before, your life will be fulfilled? Has anyone ever counted what jobs graduated from the Department of Literature do? How many people can change society? I think the screenwriter wants to tell us: cherish the time in life and do what you really want to do. There was an experiment (it seems to be in Japan) to ask people who are about to die the most regrettable thing: the number one thing is: not doing what they want to do.
Yes, but why do we all lead such a life? Is it true that you can only do what you want to do when you are about to die? Life is the best choice under a mixture of external and internal conditions. Live your life, feel the ordinary happiness of life, what should you do before you die. If you have regrets, do it while you are still alive, and don't regret it all your life when you die.
The professor in the film was fortunate that he did not fill up the tube in the hospital and died struggling to do chemotherapy on the bed. It is unimaginable for his family to watch him go. You can choose the method of death, which is mission impossible for most people.
Btw, there is a wrong example in this show: mixing with alcohol and swallowing drugs is extremely easy to cause drug poisoning. Do you know how many Hollywood actors have died here? Such as Heath Ledger. I hope that this kind of movie demonstrations will be as few as possible.
Johnny Depp was also an actor I liked. When he was young, he had a peak appearance, beautiful eyes, deep melancholy and affectionate eyes, like a deep pool. His own characteristics are rebellious, maverick, and yuppie rebellious. In "Edward Scissorhands" "Pirates of the Caribbean" reached its professional peak. It’s a pity that his vision for the selection of the film has always been limited to his own arrogance. It is not a hippy smiley captain's character (such as "Noble Thief" and "Lone Ranger"), but a decadent image of drunken life and death (such as "Deadly Companion" and "Lime". Wine Diary"). The same is true for this film. How I hope that his performance styles are diversified. Unfortunately, this film is still the same. You can say that I am biased, but this is my true feeling.
Postscript: After the last comment was published, it caused a lot of criticism. What I want to emphasize is: What I don't agree with is mainly that the professor knows that some things to be done after death are a bit low-level, rather than things that a philosophical intellectual would do. I hope that when he knows that his life is short, he will do some valuable things that he always wants to do but has not done, such as talking to a woman who has been secretly in love but has not pursued it; for example, to publicly announce himself and the science master Or the government’s conflicting views are not afraid to block, such as to realize the hobby or travel that you have always wanted to develop but don’t have time to experience, just like the old man in "Bucket List". Rather than seeing the sexual experience and drug experience as indispensable for young people who have not yet passed their puberty. This is related to a person's aesthetic interests. His later encouragement to students in class is very positive, but I think the screenwriter is a bit patterned, in other words a bit lazy and superficial.
