It’s rare that I wrote the title before writing the essay today. After doing this once, I remembered that the title should be accompanied by a movie about death, but it doesn’t matter. Things that will pass away.

In fact, it’s not necessarily a good thing to know too much about the things behind the movie before watching the movie, and coupled with my impure motivation to watch the uncle, it’s hard for me to control myself and give it before the movie starts. It has too much meaning.

I can only say that fortunately, the evaluations I have read are good and bad, and finally helped me keep my usual heart and normal expectations. In other words, no matter how much preparation you have made beforehand, this is also a movie that is enough to make You remember its beautiful movie.

The film starts with the starry sky, and the accompanying life-like fragments coupled with soft warm tones of light have already told you that this film about death is actually full of joy.

Along the way, there are dappled sunlight through the fragmentary leaves, lush and full of vitality woods, joyful and carefree country carnivals, horses galloping on the soft grass, and even that annoying child has a pair of angel wings, you It's easy to believe that this is a simple four-person weekend trip, and together with the movie protagonist, I forget the meaning of this trip.

Fortunately, there is also James’ dream to remind the audience not to forget the company of death, the cold and humid air, the dim sky, and the turbulent water hit him in the dream again and again, and the water is getting more and more submerged. Many and the back of the beach has become more and more blurred.

I can’t say that James is a pleasing character, so I can’t judge whether he is lucky, but because of his serious illness, he will inevitably have sympathy and pity for him. Of course, I don’t deny that there is a relationship that lacks a master and is too beautiful. Did you finally tell the truth?]

Although this trip was made because of James, for the other three boys, it was also a journey that they had started again. In the film, James asked his friends more than once what would happen to them if he was gone. What will happen? They will face their girlfriends being pregnant, they will face their friends’ sisters who have fallen asleep, they will face their father’s departure and the hardships of continuing their writing career, but the things they have to face have nothing to do with James, because he has already left Even if he hopes he can live longer, even if he hopes that the mark he leaves can be deeper.

It sounds cruel, but it's true.

Fortunately, James also has his own choice. At 29, he is really too young to even start, so he will tell his friends that I just hope I can accomplish something by myself.

Although the scenes of turbulent sea waters are constantly staged through James’ dreams in the movie, there is only one real death, and that time appeared at the end of James’s most beautiful dream. A huge white seabird was lying on the beach and was The icy water washed away the fragmented corpses, does this mean something to bring back light? At the end of the film, there is also a seabird flying away from the flock of birds, the meaning of which is self-evident.

Death is the skeleton of the movie, but the whole movie is full of vitality and imagination, and it is full of all kinds of beautiful and easily disappearing things. Even if only deep bones are left in the end, it has been at least once wrapped by warm body temperature and strong veins. .

The movie is indeed as beautiful as a first love, but unfortunately, like first love, it cannot withstand the test. It is enthusiastic and not lasting. It is brilliant but destined to be superficial. It seems to express something, but it seems too shy, it should not be left to the audience. There is too much room for imagination, but we should poke the tears in one hit. It gives us too many opportunities to think, but it makes us forget the theme of the movie itself, as if I remembered those beautiful and hazy shots, But I can't shed the crazy tears that hit my soul when I hope to cry.

If you want me to laugh, don't tell me the meaning of death when I grin. If you want me to cry, please put away the spit and laughter when I cry.

There is no doubt that I like this movie, but if I can be more pure, then I can appreciate the small and fresh scenery and the beauty of the lack of master more purely [Hello]

  • [first lines]

    James: James Kimberly Griffith. See I... The thing about life is... Oh, what was I gonna say? The thing about life is... I'm 29 today. Won't see 30. But I'm uh... I'm okay. Really. Okay.

  • James: This is how my life is going to be from now on. Because of the pain. Because of the drugs I take for the pain, because of the drugs I take for the side effects of the other drugs. I mean, you've seen it. It's only going to get worse. My life's all up here now, really. It's taking over and gradually I'm going to slip further and further into thinking only about pain and that's not worth living for!
