A man, suffering from cancer, began to arrange his own outcome. Of course, he was most worried about nothing else, but the old dog Truman who had been with him for many years. With the appearance of a friend and relative, the film leads us to look at his overall plan.
He tried to send the dog out, but in the end he gave it to his friend. Although the friend did not take the initiative to raise the dog, he only believed that his friend could treat it well. Although Truman wants to live in the polar regions, it is clear that this should be Truman's best home.
He seems to be on a whim, but also seems to have been planning for a long time. He spends his friends' money and suddenly goes to the city where his son is located to celebrate his son's birthday. He had no money himself, and he took some from his friends and gave it to his son so that he and his girlfriend could go to a high-end restaurant to celebrate. He never told his son the truth, and his son has been following his inspection report, but they didn't tell each other, but in the parting hug, the son shed tears. Although the way of expression is a bit unsatisfactory, perhaps this is the best ending.
The most interesting thing is that when he found out that he had cancer, when he came to the end, he smelled of "death" on his body. However, in the restaurant, his partner for many years saw himself pretending not to see, so he was very angry, because this may be the last meeting. And another good friend who was once wearing a green hat by him, he was embarrassed to see each other, but the other person came up to talk to him and comfort him. So he turned around and he bravely stepped forward to apologize to others, and the other party also accepted (of course it may also be because of him that the other party and his wife found a better woman after the divorce). He seemed to let go of the big stone in his heart and became happy. .
Although he felt sad that he was about to become a small pile of ashes, he couldn't afford the big coffins and cemetery. Fortunately, his friend planned to pay for him. He was unwilling to continue receiving treatment, but secretly bought drugs that could end his life. However, no matter what, the friend said privately: I am proud of him. why? Think about it, being a drama actor for a lifetime, once was also suave, wanton youth, and now it is so calm and methodical to face the end of life, it is also amazing.
I remember an article where a medical expert talked about a problem-death from cancer is actually the happiest thing. Because there is time to explain everything. It seems that as long as you don't receive chemotherapy or anything, rely on morphine to stop the pain, and rely on euthanasia to choose the time to leave, it is indeed more comfortable. And sudden death, although not too painful, but there is no time to sort out one's own life, not to fulfill some wishes. The Chinese people’s traditional favorite "end of life" is actually what this expert believes is that aging and death is a long and painful journey. My grandfather, in his nineties, was deaf and blind. He was gradually aging and had limited mobility. Although his internal organs are still healthy, his daily life is very painful.
