[The length of the text is boring, the spoiler is cautious, the last paragraph only talks about BC] Survivor’s problem

There are a lot of laughter, a lot of pain, and there is no "sentimental" (sentimental) that I am most afraid of.
Smile and fight tenaciously with pain points until the end. Just as beautiful and as cruel as the breathtaking natural scenery of Wells.
But the point of laughter is not the point of impact with tears in the laugh, but just to slide away and not touch the pain point.
But the pain point is unresolved, so he can only turn around harder when he is approaching, slide away, and pretend to deal with it until he can no longer escape.

In theory, none of the people who are still alive is not a survivor. Whether it is aging, disease, accident, or oneself that is left by the knife.
Many survivors exist as if sliding on thin ice.
If you can, work hard, because reality is the only thing, that is, that thin layer of ice must slide at high speed in order to avoid falling.
If it doesn’t work, talk nonsense and make fun of it. It’s better to spend your time than thinking, because thinking can bring stagnation and heaviness and hinder sliding.

James finds that he has achieved nothing and has no time to come, so he decides to do two things to "maximize" his poor and painful life for the rest of his life.
One is to turn the inevitable into a conscious choice.
One is to let the friends around you think about the meaning of surviving.
The first one was done, but it was not quite the same as originally thought. He is still young, he hasn't lived at all, and he won't dance with the world after death. His choice is just to draw an empty end. A gesture. But maybe it can only be this way.
The second one is also different from what he originally imagined. No one wants to listen to him. They have to use all kinds of funny, indifferent, ruthless words, simple beliefs, imagination that life can continue in another type, nothingness... or more funny... avoiding thoughts that may be heavy. They also want to "maximize" James' final journey, but for them, that means accompany him to complete his last wish to visit Barafundle Bay, filling the journey with playful and beautiful things. However, in the end, James' empty full stop was actually deeply rooted in their lives, and from now on, it was unavoidable.

Some film critics say that if the director wants people to think deeply about a heavy issue, he shouldn't avoid it. At first I thought it was excessive sentimentality or the overwhelming beauty that overwhelmed the clues of thinking. Now I feel that the director is thinking about "avoidance" itself.

This young century does not want to endure the old human civilization and the painful dark history. We want to glide at high speed, clean and bright without pain. So I used to take painkillers to block physical pain, so I consciously or unconsciously used more subtle and intangible language morphine and illusion of pleasure to suppress inner pain.

Avoidance was an uncomfortable issue, a bit like a child shouting about the new clothes that the king wore.
The technique is also not intended to be pleasing. Don't let you release your emotions completely, so as to force you to face up to the embarrassment of how you have always pretended to be powerless. In fact, it is just a lack of courage to face it. Whether facing your own life, or facing the departure of a close friend.

Some film critics say that the three boys are not close enough to resemble James's best friends, think that the script is problematic, or that the supporting roles lack persuasiveness.
Of course they are close friends. Silent company is friendship, laughter is friendship, noisy and noisy carrying tree carts is friendship, quietly preparing for fireworks is friendship, princess hug is friendship, hanging on the edge of a cliff and never letting go, and running hurriedly in the dark in the dark looking for painkillers is even more important. Friendship.
There are all these expressions of friendship, but emotions just cannot be fully communicated. But this lack of intersection may be neither the script nor the actor's problem.
What separates James and his three friends is death. Choosing two different paths of thinking and avoiding the meaning of death and life, so that they were born and separated before the real parting.
James' arrogant care was inevitably frustrated. The three boys also had their own dignity and pride to maintain, and everyone was uncomfortable. I don't know what to do. More sorrowful.
All the absurd events and weird passers-by who must have brought enlightenment in other movies, I will not express the emotion of the three boys here, or urge them to think deeply. But in their own way, they all accompany him to the end of life.

Some viewers shed tears when they see the scene of death. Some will be confused. There are also people who have never shed tears from beginning to end, will involuntarily ruminate the images in their minds, chew them carefully, and suddenly get hit by the recoil.

Finally, talk about Benedict Cumberbatch.
No matter how harsh the film critics are, they can't help but praise BC's acting skills. He said bitterly that no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to save the director and screenwriter, and infatuatedly said that no matter what else, it was worth just looking at him.
In fact, the other three boys are also good actors, but only JJ Feild is slightly closer to the BC level. As far as the subject the Third Star wants to discuss, this is just right.
What is the level of BC?
In Frankenstein's Q & A, Jonny Lee Miller once pointed to BC and said "He is really good." The expression on his face can only be described with admiration.
Martin Freeman also said the same thing, and said, "When he is on fire, it's a formidable sight to see."
Because BC often not only sends out the body to "play" the role, not only uses the mind to "fit into" the role, but also the soul. Pouring in, let the character's life will and existence dilemma shine through.
The acme of acting is like a god, and the effect of the integration is three-dimensional. As for the soul, a smile and a smile may become apocalypse.

In theory, none of the people who are still alive is not a survivor.
However, there are not many people who have never forgotten this fact but can treat it gently and seriously.
How fortunate for us to have a sober survivor like BC, he did not hesitate to show us the various ways of human existence.
I hope that he will continue to bring more thoughts and more beautiful things to the world.

Third Star quotes

  • [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!
