My first Ozone. A sad story. A young and promising videographer, neglected to be diagnosed with a terminal illness, has only two or three months to live. This is a theme often set in "inspirational" movies. Ou Rong is exploring human nature and the depth of the soul. The protagonist goes from self-isolation after first hearing the bad news, to embarking on a nostalgic journey, seeking a trace of solace at the beginning of life, to reaching a kind of tolerant psychological waters, cooperating with the needs of others, and leaving a trace of his own life. Eventually, on a bustling beach, one swims around in the waves and then lies in the crowd. Lie down as if nothing happened. The crowd gradually dispersed. Except for the protagonist, no one remained. The sun was setting, and he passed away quietly and lonely. It's still a beautiful ending. Although cruel. In this film, the director explores a situation and a choice for people to face their own death in loneliness. This may be the best option - albeit a desperate one. Except for the dying protagonist, everyone in the film also has his own helplessness. How much freedom do people have in their own life? The protagonist makes his own final choice. It is better to face death alone than to be disturbed by all kinds of external emotional clamor at the last moment. Brutal and beautiful movie. In the end, the protagonist can be considered to have achieved some kind of fulfillment in life. Although, it's not chicken soup at all. But it leaves a deep aftertaste. Death, each of us will face. It's just that for most people, it seems to be relatively far away, so they don't really choose their attitude towards it seriously. And when it really comes, the possibility of choice has been lost. Helplessly and unwillingly, in the hustle and bustle of various external emotions, he died. This is destined to be the fate of most people. Not to mention the pain and absurd ways of dying that result from over-involvement of medical care.
