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.

    The most tragic thing about ginseng is that a friend and a sister get involved

    It's really yellow, joyous and warm and healing Hollywood sketch. You say that the story is clichéd and not new, but you feel so warm when the movie ends; you say it is an understatement and cannot withstand scrutiny, but you still think it is true and delicate , Laughter with tears. The unbearable importance of life never loses strength even if it is underestimated. The small freshness in the heavy taste, the heavy taste in the small freshness, how can you say no to such a movie?
