Great movie, Emma contributed outstanding performances and scripts (co-screenwriters). In addition to appreciating Emma's performance, there are also some scattered thoughts.
Smart doctors have superb medical skills, but they don't have the humanistic care of nurses. He had taken Vivian's poetry course, but it didn't seem to touch him much. He admired puzzle-like cancer cells and used Vivian as a research tool to a large extent. It stands to reason that a patient with terminal cancer should be treated conservatively to relieve the pain and leave easily, but they have to give Vivian a full dose of the drug (of course this is also Vivian's own decision). Seeing Vivian curled up on the hospital bed because of pain, and said "I want to hide" with a trembling voice, I couldn't help tears.
I haven't read John Dunn's work, maybe I will come to read it later. One point I agree with is that the moment of death is just a transition between life and death, no exclamation point is needed, a comma is enough.
Uncomfortable university professors look back at their life in the late stage of cancer, expressing jokingly, coupled with Emma's perfect performance, discussing life and death, and the way doctors rescue patients. A movie worth watching repeatedly. (Although Vivian is very distressed during the whole process...)
