in a dream. A dream within a dream.
Who can tell me for sure;
all that I have is true.
After watching this movie, my sister suddenly asked me, what is the practical significance of such a movie? I'm speechless. If every movie were to demand its relevance, perhaps most of them would be stillborn before they came out.
For most people, the movie may just be something to talk about after dinner. And what we can get in the movie are some things that we have never experienced and may not be able to experience in our whole life: joy, sadness, sadness; maybe, everything.
A friend once said: Now, live in a movie. Someone once said: don't live like a movie. I appreciate these two very different attitudes to life and to cinema. For me, what I have learned from the film is probably a lot more than my entire student life.
Movies are my best and worst nightmare. lingering.
In dreams, we know everything that happened and is about to happen, but we have no way to control it. This movie tells a story about a nightmare.
Before watching the movie, I had two guesses about the ending of the movie. The first is mental illness, such as persecuted delusional disorder, schizophrenia and delusional disorder. Such patients will have auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations and hallucinations like Grace, which can explain Grace’s difficult Terrible experience of sending a letter. There is also the possibility that there really is some terrible hospital somewhere in the United States, which, of course, is not possible in reality.
The mystery revealed at the end of the film is at least satisfying. Everything is just a nightmare that I can't wake up from. Grace's death seemed a little helpless, but for him, it was the only way to get rid of his nightmare. Moreover, because this is just Grace's nightmare, fortunately, we can continue to have good hopes for this world. Otherwise, how are we going to deal with it.
And it's probably better for Grace, too, if he's actually going through what he's been through in his dreams, he'll be even more grief-stricken. He may also prefer to choose this ending.
His wife once told him that those who dream of falling to the ground in their dreams will die peacefully in their sleep. Grace chose to struggle, but in the end, when he chose to jump, it might be the best relief for him. Because although he was in a coma, all those illusory feelings became reality, but for him, in reality, he still died peacefully and dignifiedly and left intact. Close your eyes and stop crying.
medical malpractice. It would be an unfortunate event for anyone. And if everything that happened in Grace's dream is true, then maybe this is not just Grace's nightmare. Undeliberate disaster, being treated as another patient who had an operation that he should not have done, had his organs removed that should not have been removed, and after that, he still had to face the intimidation and torture of an extremely crazy racist .
This movie makes everything that is both true and illusory; whether it is reality, dreams, or dreams within dreams. These three are intertwined, plus Grace's own memory and various psychological hints before the operation, which are truly reproduced in his dream. The film looks confusing and confusing, and after peeling off the layers of fog, the film still looks like it won't feel exhausting, and we will be eagerly waiting for a final truth.
In this regard, the film is a success. We were driven forward by our own curiosity, eagerly watching the screen awaiting sentencing. When the fast switching of the lens pushes the truth step by step into our eyes, we should perhaps breathe a sigh of relief. I don't want to put the truth of the movie into this text, because, at least, it won't let people who read this text know the ending and look boring.
Compared with the truth, this movie may also be worth our attention, which is the beautiful emotion of redemption in this movie.
It's actually a pretty neat movie. Grace's birthday, the last supper, and this little party contains almost all the emotional relationships we should cherish. father and son; father and daughter; husband and wife; brother; friend. In Grace's dream, all of this eventually left him. The son took a DV filming his most painful tragedies, as a tribute to his new hero; the daughter became a lesbian kissing in front of his hospital bed with a woman in a fancy dress; The crippled doctor had an affair; the younger brother went to Africa and never came back; the friend who was a lawyer didn't rescue him from that horrible hospital and let the hospital cut off his foot.
All of this was foreshadowing buried in some of the most inconspicuous places in his previous life, but he never knew that the happy life he thought he was living was in fact riddled with holes. If we really pursue the realistic meaning of this film, perhaps, we should reflect on whether we should cherish our existing life and cherish everyone around us more.
This film always shows us the emotional world that has become increasingly numb and indifferent like Grace. It's just that we are always bewildered by all the weird things in front of us, and forget the true meaning of the movie.
Grace's confession to her daughter will move everyone. When my daughter was five years old, I suddenly felt that I loved her so much, so I said to her: OK. The daughter asked her father when she was sixteen, why did she say that word at that time, Grace told her: I know that one day you will leave, one day you will ask me for what you want, I think Tell you, many years ago, I promised you that as long as I have and can give you, I will give it to you.
This delicacy and sensitivity actually permeates this film from beginning to end. It's just that we are always blinded by all those bleak and weird things and don't pay attention. Just as we never find what we have so admirable, so precious and so worthy of our joy, what we are always complaining about is so tasteless and mean.
What the truth is may no longer matter. The daughter is huddled in her father's arms, the son is holding his father's hand, the wife is calling her husband and will not leave, the younger brother has returned from afar, all dissatisfaction and doubt are gone; The man whom everyone loved woke up and came back to them.
The tree in that glamorous nurse tattoo, she said, was a tree of life, waiting to bloom when spring came. In fact, we have the most beautiful spring and the most enchanting bloom in the world, but have we discovered it?
To love those we love and cherish what we have, in fact, we are very lucky and happy. As long as we look carefully, we can always find that we are in a beautiful world, never, nor need to be sad.
It really doesn't matter what the truth is. After watching this movie, this so-called thriller, horror, bloody and scary movie, I suddenly have a very light feeling, and a feeling of happiness.
Who ever said that the reason we watch horror movies is because we are sad, after we know the sadness of other people, maybe, we are not so heavy anymore. This film, its practical significance may be to tell us that we should cherish everything about ourselves more, live bravely and fearlessly, and perceive all the subtle happiness.
