Maybe a cultural difference? Shocked me for a few moments

If you only had three months to live, what would you do? (serious spoilers)

In the film, two people are lying on the bed at the beginning, maybe my focus is not right. Before being told by the doctor that he has cancer, the protagonist asks the doctor if he has AIDS. Pfft, hahahaha, he laughed at me, guessing, it should be a same-sex lying next to him at the beginning.

Following the development of the plot, he returned home and quarreled with his sister's sarcasm. On the way back to his residence, his father took him to buy drugs. At first, I didn't understand what I was going to do when I got out of the car, but I just felt that the protagonist was a little sneaky. Back in the car, his father asked him if he was still on drugs. Got it, it was a drug. The movie was released in 2005. After searching the time, it seems that drugs are not legal in France.

Before getting off the bus, the protagonist asked his father why he had cheated and never divorced his mother. I forgot what the protagonist's father said. It feels real. . . . . I don't know what would happen to his father if his mother cheated. It's amazing how cheating seems to happen all over the world.

Back at the residence, the protagonist and his lover seem to have taken drugs together? Then there are a few minutes of sex scenes that end with the protagonist strangling the lover's neck and telling the lover to break up. This bed scene shocked me, it can be filmed and broadcast. But it's well done, very realistic.

On the way to visit my grandmother, I met a lady in the restaurant and asked him if he had children, the last word of the lady was single, no children. I don't understand what this sentence means, it's intriguing. In the end, after saying goodbye to my grandmother, I returned and met the lady again. Female Ten told him that her husband was infertile, but they wanted children. Shocked me again. Very incredible.

At the end of the film, there is a scene where the protagonist goes to church and sees the pranks of himself and his lover as a child, as well as kissing each other. After visiting her grandmother, the protagonist met her lover and asked her if she could have sex with him for the last time, but the lover did not agree. Then, the plot jumps, the protagonist agrees to the lady's request, and then a 3P. Shocked me, I really dare to act and broadcast. There is a shot at the end of the woman's husband putting his hand on her belly, the protagonist smoking a cigarette, and the woman and her husband sleeping in the background.

The plot jumps, the protagonist and the couple have the estate notarized by the lawyer, leaving all the estate to the unborn child. Before leaving, ask the lady if the child will move. Pfft hahahahahahahahahahahaha gave me a whole laugh again, so small, definitely can't feel it. I don't quite understand why I obviously don't like children, and I still want to know if the unborn child will move, maybe it's the reproductive instinct?

Searching for IVF technology, in 1978, the first IVF was born in the UK, and in 1982, the first IVF in France was born. According to the release date of the film, in 2005, France already had IVF technology. Why didn't they go for IVF? It feels weird and I don't quite understand. Maybe to highlight the last leg of life and death?

In the car going to the beach, it looked like a train. The protagonist was awakened by the cry of the baby, and the protagonist laughed when he saw the baby being held in the mother's arms and breastfeeding. Here again, it is very magical. The protagonist has clearly said before that he doesn't like children, but there is another scene where he looks at the child and smiles, and on the poster, the protagonist falls asleep with a child in his arms.

At the end, he bought a chocolate cone, took two bites, as if he saw his childhood self, and then stopped licking the cone (this kind of cone melts very quickly, I'm really worried about the cone, don't put it on your hands ). The protagonist swam around in the sea, then returned to his original place, lying on a noisy and lively beach, and passed away. It feels good to die in the hustle and bustle of the crowd. I thought there would be a follow-up, such as explaining something about the child, but it ended like this.

In the film, there are a lot of shocking and incomprehensible places, maybe because of being too young? Maybe.

If there are only three months left in life, if the body is not very painful, it seems that it is not so difficult for me to accept. No matter when you leave, it seems that there will always be nostalgia and regret, but death is everyone's destination and cannot be changed. Although we have relatives, friends, and companions, from a certain perspective, we are not alone. However, if you think about it carefully, there are many, many things that need to be faced by one person. From the family to the collective, to go to school, to take the exam, from the school to the society, to work, to work overtime, from the campus to live alone, maybe from living alone to marriage, maybe becoming a father or mother, from young to old, from health to suffering from a disease. Pain, surgery, death. It looks like someone is there to accompany you, but in fact it is all to face it yourself. Life is always to be faced by oneself.
