What do you do when I'm gone—Appreciation of the movie "Trueman"
"Oh! Forgot to bring its toothbrush and its clothes. By the way, I haven't bathed it in a long time?" The old dog Truman was determined by the sudden conversation. Julian suddenly became a masterless. This old man who has accompanied him for most of his life hastily entrusted him. The emotion in Julian's heart came out of his eyes. As the line said in the play: "Death is actually a new beginning". The story begins with a bleak and cold winter snow scene. The old friend Thomas received news of Julian's advanced stage of lung cancer and traveled from the other side of the earth to spend the last few days with him. Faced with the ending that everyone knows, Thomas tried to suppress his strong emotions. But the moment he reunited after a long absence still made his eyes rosy. Unspeakable helplessness and suffering can only be used to replace sadness and pain with speechlessness. This can only be done, then quietly accompany Julian through the last part of the journey! "I have known you for a whole life without knowing it, do you know what your strengths are?" Julian asked Thomas. "I don't know." Thomas. "You never ask for anything in return, so what do you think is my strength?" Julian. "Brave." Thomas. To deal with death, not everyone can be as open-minded and courageous as Julian, and death is frequent. He can still deal with everything he is about to lose calmly and orderly. He was reluctant to give up Truman, but he would never blindly find a destination for it. In Julian's eyes, Truman is his emotional sustenance for his family and best friends. The more Julian is reluctant to give up on Truman, the more painful the needle sticks in Thomas's heart as a bystander. This is how he treats animals, not to mention his friends and relatives. The cleverness of the film director is that only a natural, ordinary life and death story is used to express the noble meaning of love in the world. Paula slammed the door because of Julian's selfish decision, because of love. The former rival and enemy took the initiative to forgive Julian and show goodwill to it, also because of love. For an impromptu idea, I went to visit my son in Holland, thousands of miles away, because of love. Julian is actually the high concentration of these thousands of sentient beings, and he is filled with every group mentality that is close to the gate of death. According to his words, "Everyone wants to say goodbye to the world in the best way." Everything still arises from love, so he will be anxious, will hesitate and hesitate, will repent, will desperately scold the villain once, and will tell his friends the truest emotions time and time again. Thomas said to Paula, "It's not sad, we all tried our best, right". Since Julian can face his own end bravely, why can't we face his departure bravely like him? The two-act theater stage scene interspersed in the film is very moral. Life is like a play. If you step down from the stage, there will be loss, but the true feelings are still there. Even if you leave, you can leave the best to the people around you. Death has never been allowed. People are sad, aren't they? "Don't be sad, after I'm gone, Truman, you can take care of me, it is what I miss you best"!
