Wit is
a quiet, cruel movie.
It is almost Emma's one-man show, from the babbling children, to the resolute university professors, to the same wood-like patients, and finally the still life on the hospital bed.
There is no suspense, from life to death, it is undoubtedly natural, and it does not make people feel boring. It depends on acting, monologue and emotion to support a classic.
Vivian Bearing, Ph.D., university professor, specializing in John Donne, harsh Severe, say one thing, and suddenly learned that he has a rare ovarian cancer. In the opening of the film Vivian and Dr. Kelekian, Vivian's perseverance can be seen. The 8-month experimental intensity treatment is not a child’s play, but a life.
During the treatment, Vivian spent time alone. , So quiet that you can’t realize the flow of time, time flies so slowly, but thin and visible. Recalling the past, Vivian once again knows his own life.
EM Ashford is Vivian’s literary tutor, and John appears for the first time in her memories This poem by Donne: "
Death be not proud
DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee, 5
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell, 10
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better then thy stroake; why swell'st thou then;
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.”
This is also the core of the whole movie. Between life and death, is it a comma or an exclamation mark? Ashford said, life, death, and eternal life are separated by a small comma, just after a nap, We will live forever.
It is worth mentioning that Jason who has been assisting Vivian's treatment, a young student of medical school, happened to have taken Vivian's class during college. He is handsome, smart, ambitious, and energetic. He thinks that "cancer" is extremely remarkable and perfect. Therefore, I devote myself to researching cancer. Like the boys we all encounter in life, they are outstanding, but they lack a kind of personal feeling, or human kindness, or the humanistic feelings of Chinese. Kindly, Vivian has been begging in the late stage of the serious illness.
Vivian has always known that her illness will not be cured. There is a poem, she said to herself during the examination, "This is my play's last scene, here, heavens appoint my Phil grime's last mile. And my race, idly, yet quickly run. Hath this last pace. My span's last inch. My minute's last point. And gluttonous death will instantly unjoint my body and soul. "In
extreme panic, Vivian said to himself Saying, "I want to hide", avoiding God, curled up into a small ball. She has drifted away.
EM Ashford is the only person who came to see Vivian. He was a highly respected teacher at the time, but at this time he was more like a mother, take it off After wearing winter boots, lying down on Vivian's hospital bed, hugging her, like coaxing her child to sleep, she is not reading John Donne's poems, Vivian doesn't want to think about John Donne fan poems, a fairy tale book is the best Okay, "Now is the time for simplicity."
In the fairy tale of Baby Bunny, Vivian gradually fell asleep and burst into tears. Is it because of pain or feeling?
