For a director who has been famous for a long time like Gus Van Sant, the difficulty of making a small and fresh film is too low. Even in the eyes of most people, "Throbbing Heart" is a standard small fresh movie, the protagonist will do some idle and boring (in the eyes of most people), but it is still different from the Japanese or Taiwanese small Fresh, at least on the screen, it looks a little gloomy, there is not so much sunlight, and it does not engage in the beautiful scenery with beautiful women. The reason is actually very simple. This is a movie about hospice care. All the content is actually about death. However, Gus Van Sant adopts a lighter way to express it, like a water bird flying over. , Watching them play calmly, all you want is a situation and feeling. Even if it is a somewhat heavy subject, just look at the movie poster: a pair of young lovers lie on the ground, holding hands, each other's body outlines are portrayed, as if with this method, the flesh and love will never disappear. Then you understand that what "Throbbing Heart" is about is faith and relief. After all, looking at death from the perspective of young people, it is indeed not a bitter and enmity, and the director feels that there is no need to make a sensational masterpiece. The price is too low. A boy who likes to go to the funeral of strangers, a girl with advanced cancer and waiting for death, let them meet, and then found that the smells are similar, and all kinds of harmony are in harmony. They discuss waterfowl, give each other books, Halloween COSPLAY, play self-written and self-directed role-plays to throw rocks and throw trains, seemingly boring things, they can all find happiness and happiness. There are many weird ideas in the film, like the Japanese ghost played by Ryo Kase. In the past, the movie often used this technique as the incarnation of split personality. This time, he is really just a ghost of fantasy, warm and full of affinity. Rather than saying that the protagonist is affected by death, it is better to say that they are afraid of loneliness and become confused. For life, what death leaves behind is endless loneliness and a deep misunderstanding of the world. "Throbbing Heart" is correcting the protagonist's view of the world, such as enjoying a pure love, even if it is knowing bad results. Arrange a drama of life and death, even if two people have different opinions on the ending. So, it's about death, but the film is about how to live, how to get along with the world that already exists, and make life look interesting and bright. Isn't that a beautiful thing? For a film that shows death, "Throbbing Heart" is really light. It is neither horrible nor preaching, nor does it mean to make the audience cry. Gus Van Sant did a lot of small details, trying to impress the audience with subtle touches. If you like random surprises and whimsical surprises, then "The Throbbing Heart" is just right. Many people will love its literary and artistic tune from the bottom of their hearts, the right music, the emotions, the words and secrets that do not need to be explained, it does not matter whether it is a dessert after a meal. The cloud rises and the cloud vanishes, everything is anim. Regarding the communication between life and death, "The Throbbing Heart" reminds me of William Curran Bryant's "To the Water Bird". He wrote at the beginning of the poem: In the floating dew, the sky is shining with the light of the last steps of the day. Through the depths of the rosy clouds, where are you looking for your lonely road? "The Throbbing Heart" speaks of life through death. At the end of the movie, it coincides with the meaning of this poem. "On the long journey of my lonely journey, he will navigate me correctly." In real life, we are afraid Death, avoid talking about topics related to death. Many people want to find the cause of death and anger the surroundings. As everyone knows, in many cases, birth, old age, sickness and death have no cause, it is part of natural evolution (even if it is the accident itself). For death, we don't have to be negative, but the old saying: For the dead, we should live better. ["Girlfriend" (Homeland Edition)]
