The plot of more than 90 minutes, like a gentle wind, calmly shows the heavy topics of death and parting between the protagonists. The eyes and expressions of the two actors silently told of pain and dissatisfaction with each other.
The lines of the daily dialogue in the film, simple and simple language, are enough to echo in my mind for a long time.
"I used to be chic." A short sentence expresses Julian's nostalgia for the past. When I saw this, I was shocked to the hourglass that kept the time now, immediately, and immediately. Julian is not cowardly. He chose to give up treatment and end his life early, not because he was afraid of the final discomfort, but to dominate his last moments bravely. When he learned that the ashes after the spark were the size of a small box, he sat on the sofa and meditated for a few seconds, making people lament the cruelty of life, and we will all turn into dust in the end.
On the first day, Julian said that he learned generosity, selflessness, and no return from Thomas. The night before he left, Thomas said, "I am proud of Julian." During this short four-day journey, Thomas silently accompanied him. Julian, from the pet doctor, the funeral home, watching Julian being fired by the theater owner, and the sudden rise of the trip to Holland, to find a few adopters for Truman to interview, until dinner, in front of him and his sister, he said that he wanted The idea of proactively ending life. This old friend's understanding, caring, and sorrowful companionship made me feel that Julian is happy for some time, although he is about to leave this world. The sorrow of the end of my life made me choked, but I was moved to tears by the sincere friendship between the two protagonists. There is a close friend like this in life, even if the two poles are separated, they will not feel lonely.
To life, to friendship, to ourselves.
