Adam lives in a very healthy life. He wakes up early every day and runs, comes back to take a shower and goes to work. He is a very self-disciplined person. He will wait for the red light to turn green before crossing the road when there is no one. He is also a very considerate friend and will take the initiative to help. Clean up the garbage in the car just to Cheer her up. He has a noisy, present-day buddy who only asks how to pick up girls, a fussing mother, a dad who doesn't recognize his dementia at all, and a girlfriend who is inconsistent and cheating secretly. Before he fell ill, he had a very dull and boring life. He didn't stand out at all. But the strange cancer hit him on his back. He made a serious joke, but it was a bad joke.
Cancer takes away work, girlfriend, and normal life. As his Ex said, his world and the normal world are like yin and yang. Adam tried to be like a normal person, telling others that I am fine, I feel great, and desperately suppressing negative emotions, so as not to cause trouble to those who care about him. But after all, it’s different. Even if he shaved his head before chemotherapy, even if he took the bus to and from the hospital and home, he looked haggard and was scared. After experiencing the patient’s funeral, he was really willing to face it. Is going to die. No one could understand this feeling of being alone, so he refused treatment and slammed the door away.
The night before the operation, all depression and fear broke out, desperately trying to try the regrets in life, scolding the buddies for only using his cancer to pick up girls is not really caring at all, screaming and hitting the steering wheel, venting " Why am I" wronged, call the therapist, apologize and thank you. Then he went home with his drunk buddies, and found the book "Facing Cancer Together", there was a careful corner note in it, and he smiled. I instantly smiled with sore eyes. This is the first real smile I think of Adam in the whole film. There is such a person who is not related by blood and still cares about you and helps you in a clumsy way. Friends are not many, but sincere, aren't they?
His dog was given by Ex, and was the only one left after the breakup. Watching countless difficult and dead nights, the dog accompanied him and comforted him. He was also a clumsy and loyal friend, so before leaving home on the morning of the operation, Adam seemed so sensational to feed him food.
Before the operation, Adam and his best friend came out and agreed to see you again, hugged hard and made a firm promise. Thank you and sorry for waiting for the meeting to become silent. Do you remember his dad saying I love you, crying and hugging his mother and talking about how anesthesia can ensure that you won't wake up during the operation...Real fear, real catharsis, real.
Fortunately, it is a Happy Ending. In fact, even if this movie is Bad Ending, I will still like it, even if it violates my principle of aversion to tragedy. Or because it is true.
Seth is still acting as a wretched man who seems to be sexually supreme, but he is indeed a good friend, and he has a very accurate vision. Actually, maybe he will be a reliable man in the future.
Catherine, the therapist, put it at the end because she is my other feeling of truth. There is no way to completely distinguish between psychotherapy and case work of social workers in the treatment. In fact, as a person who has learned the knowledge of three-legged cat social work, I think that I should be more inclined to social workers. She is a novice, as Adam said, they are all novices. At first, Adam distrusted and rejected her because he was her third patient and was the material of the paper. At the same time, it was too against his stereotype, so he didn't trust her. Sometimes Catherine is a bit pedantic, and speaking out his professional knowledge Blah Blah Blah only aroused Adam's even greater resentment. But both of them are changing. At first, Catherine said that Adam was suppressing herself, and he was rudely refuted by him. The second time she talked about the first chemotherapy, trying to tell him that the side effects were normal, but it caused him to be bombarded. She hoped He knows that getting angry is self-relief, and stroking his arm is an expression of care, which is conducive to treatment. He showed extreme rejection of physical touch, and Catherine corrected this. The third time it involved his mother, she unprofessionally expressed her opinion of using strong emotional words. On the contrary, she was very happy to see that Adam was able to accept her opinions peacefully and was able to like her touch. Expressing opinions at the right time is indeed effective, but the words should be more peaceful. But on the fourth time, because he was aware of death, his great fear made him unable to accept the indoctrination of other thoughts and went out, but Catherine did not go out to chase. When a person is extremely angry and can't listen to words, it is much better to let him calm down than to pester him to make him sober. In the end, on the phone call the night before the operation, Catherine didn't say those "will be okay" pale and comforted, but just tried to chat with him easily. The whole treatment should be over here.
The whole process of treatment was eagerly hopeful, and Catherine was still very young and not as perfect as the theory, but she was better than sincerity and "nosy", which brought them closer together, and made a good relationship by mistake.
Lala said so much, and finally talked about the acting skills of Joseph. He originally thought that this should be his best role in recent movies. As long as he expresses that young artists can still face life optimistically, it turns out that, He is far from taking the role of those blindly mentally handicapped inspirational films. I have never believed that someone can be sentenced to death suddenly, and quickly go through sadness, helplessness, anger and fear, and immediately become a strangely strong and optimistic man, so it takes four-fifths of the time to deduce the psychological journey This is the process that normal people should have. Jiao Cerf still held his embarrassed face, introverted and broke out. He was helpless and tolerant of his ex-girlfriend, and murmured against his buddies. At first glance, he knew that he was a boring man who was easy to be bullied and had no personality. But after knocking on the medicine, I swayed through bed after bed after bed after bed, live or dead patients, crying family members, from a psychedelic smile to an expressionless smile to a bitter smile, three levels even More, enriching the inner psychological changes, there is a feeling of helplessness in wanting to surpass life and death. Shaving his head resolutely, facing the fear of death, the eruption of frenzy, and quietly cleaning up later, he was finally able to face death, not that he was not afraid, but that he was able to face it calmly. He is not the kind of actor who expresses emotions with exaggerated body language. Since "mysterious skin" or even earlier, he has used expressions to tell us what this person thinks and what changes he has, so we should be aware of it. Later, I was able to appreciate it more and was even more surprised at the huge energy contained in his thin body.
Bravo, 50/50. Bravo, Life.
