Today is grandmother's five seven. At this point, I can finally straighten my mind a little bit like a headphone cable in my pocket, no longer escaping, and face the facts. Humans are often much stronger than they realize. Many things that used to be painful even in the imagination, once they happen, but instead stimulate the resilience of resignation, hand over the pain to time, and move on. Especially the Chinese.
Death is a timeless and unsolved topic. We can never understand it until it comes to us.
When young fashion photographer Romain learned that he had cancer, he chose not to choose chemotherapy, but chose to face the remaining three months in peace. The film thus establishes a quiet and heavy beginning. During these three months, he chose to drive away everyone around him: first, he slandered his sister who had a holiday with him, then swept his gay love out of the house, and asked for warmth and a moment of peace from his only relative, grandma, But still can not get rid of the inner haze.
The three months of loneliness that Romain chose was brave and selfish. He didn't want to bring pain to the people he loved the most, and chose to bear it alone; he also wanted to protect himself and didn't want to let himself fall into excessive sadness and reluctance. He needs a period of loneliness to settle his feelings for the whole time. That's why he's always caught up in the memories of his childhood, the good times, when he was playing games with his sister in the log cabin, when he asked papa why the bunny was dying. He chose to be silent in his own world and reminisce on his own.
What do you think about when your life is about to end? It is often the happiest and saddest time. What Romain can never get out of is his young self, who needs love, is insecure, longs for attention, lonely and innocent. Standing in the long river of time, he saw his childhood self, just like the little boy in the mirror, in the church, on the beach, smiling forever and growing tirelessly. This is the infinity of time, we are powerless to contend with him, we can only wait and see. Look at yourself in time and talk to yourself, so as to get eternity in the limited. Towards the end, Romain buys a chocolate ice cream, like a child afraid of injections who needs the comfort of candy. In the face of death, he seemed uneasy, but he has slowly accepted it. In the end, it was the little boy who made him cry. He smiled comfortingly at him, and then wept. These are serious and joyous tears. That little boy taught him that time doesn't stop, life goes on, there's nothing to fear and nothing to grieve, C'estla vie. And he was finally relieved, and he threw himself into the endless ocean of time. The sea, once again symbolized the hometown of human beings, the cradle of life, she sent Romain the last gentle call and comfort, and he finally fell asleep like a baby calmly and sweetly after going through everything.
The world is too cold, the light and shadow are too warm.
