Sing, laugh, in the last hours

When I woke up early on Monday, the first thing I felt was that my eyes were swollen and uncomfortable, and my double eyelids turned into single eyelids. The whole eyelids were bulging and hot.
I ran to the mirror and took a look. All the discomfort reminds me of the movie "Song for Marison" that I watched last night.

I watched it with Xiao Wu on Sunday night, I was crying, but after thinking about it, it wasn't that good. It's a simple little movie, but the details are so well described. The lyrics and songs are even more tear-jerking. Find an old man and an old lady. Interpreting the relationship between husband and wife, the old man sang word by word: good night my angle, we all will go. Full of white hair, talking about the scene where people go to heaven, tears immediately fell. It was too real, and it had the taste of showing up. awesome.


There is a detail in the video. The wife Marison's condition relapsed again. The doctor told her that she could only choose invasive treatment, or she could only choose crisp & ice-cream. Eat and drink well, all the time. In the picture, the old man and the old lady just listened to the doctor silently, didn't say anything, just said one sentence: ice-cream. When I came home at night, the old husband and wife were lying on the bed, and the old lady huddled in the old man's arms and said, "I scare." (I was scared)

Tears fell when I saw this scene. The doctor said that he was helpless, who is not sad. During the day, when outsiders are there, they are restrained in their hearts. At night, only the close couple will whisper the fear in their hearts. Everyone has the instinct to survive.
If such a scene is interpreted as laughter versus life and death, it may be more inspirational, but fear of death, fear of pain, it is human nature, the old lady pretends to be strong during the day, hides in the bed at night and shrinks into a ball, it is completely a portrayal of ordinary people, Immediately poked into tears, such a strong and fragile person.

There is another scene in the video:
On the grass, the elderly choir sang loudly, and the old lady played the solo part of the middle monologue. She sang "true color" emotionally and looked at all the old men. After singing, the true confession was over, so everyone was moved to tears. , the old man quickly got up and ran to an unseen corner to avoid smoking while taking advantage of the neutral position. When the two old people were at home at night, the old man said slowly: I don't want you to leave, and leaned his head slowly on the old lady's shoulder.

Some people are always so inappropriate. When they are most lively, all they think about is the loneliness of people who are gone. The old man with a perverse personality is such a person. He is worried that the old lady will let go when her life is the most brilliant. Life may be like this, how gratifying it is to be brilliant, and how sad it is to wither.


The plot of the whole movie is simple. It tells the story of a group of old men and women learning music. The old man's body is in contrast with his optimistic spirit, gray hair and relaxed lyrics: a group of old men and women, singing in unison: let's talk about sex. How hilarious let's talk about life. Let's talk about you & me. I feel that the songs in the movie are very, very well selected. Various contrasts and adaptations make life come to an end, and the loneliness and sadness brought about by the passing of life have a different taste.

In the end, the old man without his wife closed his eyes and sang softly on the stage: good night, my angle. Now it is
Sleep time to sleep.


Like the old lady who really sings in the sky, it is gentle, emotional, and the last tear slid down after the old man finished singing.




Goodnight, my angel
Time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Wherever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away

Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
The water's dark and deep
Inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me

Lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu
lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu

Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry
And if you sing this lullabye
Then in your heart
There will always be a part of me

Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabyes go on and on...
They never die
That's how you
And I
Will be

online Looked for music, but couldn't find the soundtrack. "let's talk about sex" and "good night, my angel" sung by other musicians always feel wrong. A bunch of old men and old ladies sing this kind of contrast, and the songs of age are especially interesting. Music is the highlight.
