If you only had a few months to live, what would you do?

What attracts me most about this film is its subject matter and the beauty of the picture. What would you do and what could you do if you had only a few short months left in your life? The sense of powerlessness brought by fate often defeats us, and pain, confusion, and loneliness erode us. In the last picture, melvi poupaud died quietly under the afterglow of the beach, his profile changed from light to dark, vivid and profound. . . . I think if I only had a few months, I would happily do what I didn't have time to do, relive all the memories, spend the rest of the day well, and wait for death come. Thank you for the inspiration this film has brought me, and I wrote these short reviews in memory of it!
