The title of the film is "Have a Good Life", but it's not happy at all, it looks like an irony. Basically, the actor's life and personality are not very happy, so he has a relationship problem with his girlfriend and a bad relationship with his parents, but it is a bit strange to have a funny friend with a completely different personality. Then he got cancer. Although the process was painful, it turned out to make his life a little better.

However, the director did not intend to explore the origin of the protagonist’s personality and how he inspired or changed during the illness. He simply presented his emotional changes and the relationship between him and his family and friends, coupled with fresh rock music, that’s The tune of American independent filmmakers. It's good not to sprinkle dog blood, but on the other hand, it seems to say nothing.
