Parting is far more difficult than life and death

Malachi 2022-01-22 08:01:34

Compared with facing life and death, when one has to give up one's loved ones, pets, close friends, and those of all kinds of people in the relationship network, this is really difficult to face.

Announcing euthanasia at the last dinner parting with a close friend is actually to make others accept the parting from himself more peacefully. This is the feeling he has kept saying goodbye to others along the way, because he knows that this feeling is far more comparable. It's hard to die.

So I think this movie is not just about a friendship, but a narration of parting. Life has to face all kinds of parting, learn to let go of this emotion, learn to face this passing away seriously, maybe This is what the film wants to tell.

    7.5. How to face death, how to understand and support the choices of others.

    That mutual acquaintance and mutual dependence allow us to say goodbye quietly but tenderly. In recent years, it is the best film in the category of other films. It does not deliberately calm and calmly dissolves all the external expressions of symbols, and awakens a feeling that cannot be spoken but can deeply resonate. The scenes and music of the film are extremely beautiful, and the rhythm is vivid and smooth. The trivial plot is scattered everywhere, but every stroke makes the story more three-dimensional. The performances of the two protagonists are natural and lively, which is amazing

Truman quotes

  • Julián: You know the main thing I've learned from you?... What you've taught me all these years unknowingly?

    Tomás: Why don't we keep walking?

    Julián: Because I'm saying something important, can't you wait one more minute?... Why are you here?

    Tomás: I want to have breakfast, so that I'm ready... What's that important thing you've learned from me? Let's see.

    Julián: You never expect anything in return... You never want a payback... You're generous, unlike me.

    Tomás: Thanks.

    Julián: And me?

    Tomás: What?

    Julián: What have you learned from me?

    Tomás: From you? Nothing, absolutely nothing... Maybe illegal things... To be brave... You've always faced everything squarely... Like now.

  • Julián: Each person dies as best they can.
