In addition to love, youth and Death is also an eternal theme in human life.
Third Star is such a movie on the theme of youth and death that relies on the third kind of great human emotions besides family and love—friendship.
At the beginning of the film, the male protagonist James told such a cruel reality in a lazy, helpless, very calm, and even full of jokes, "Today is my 29th birthday, and I will never see myself as 30 years old again..."
Boy or Man? This is hard to tell. So we saw James’ three close friends who were also at an awkward age. Before they completely faded away from the ideals and passions of youth, they accompanied the terminally ill James with the entangled hearts of their lives and camped all the way to him. The beautiful shrine of dreams-Balafonde Bay. And this will also be a swan song in James' life.
Compared with friends, this trip will undoubtedly mean more extraordinary experiences and experiences for James, who looks optimistic and positive, but suffers physically and mentally due to illness. He envied the abundant time and life of his friends, encouraged and even warned them not to waste their time, so as to slowly evaporate the ideal of youth into imaginary bubbles instead of expecting various possibilities in the future. Sensitive and strong, he will crawl out of the tent in the early morning, touching the grass that symbolizes strong vitality, lamenting his dying life, and the inevitably growing heart of extravagant hope that he does not want to die... Journey It was long and funny. They joked with each other openly, fights like wild beasts and quite childish, and helped each other face the different situations that nature has given. The most touching thing is that the friends secretly brought fireworks for James, who loves to watch the starry sky, and prepared to set them off in Balafonde Bay, but they had to ignite them in advance because they were overwhelmed on the way. Gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the night sky, reflecting their excited eyes and young hearts, just like the beautiful youth that is close in front of them, but fleeting...
On the way, everyone took good care of James, who had symptoms from time to time and needed morphine and medicine to comfort him. Of course, they have also appreciated the beautiful suffocating beach rendered by the golden sunset, the changing light and shadow reflected in the clouds of the morning sun in the depths of the ocean, and they will also lie down by the open-air bonfire in the cold night and watch the stars in the sky. , Is having a naive, and a deep discussion about life and life. At this time, we observe James who is strong in appearance and anxiety and melancholy in his heart, Davy who is needed to embody the sense of life value, Bill who compromises his ideals for life and is lost in love, and who is in the shadow of a successful and premature father. The Miles who thought he was bearish, but was actually a little cowardly.
Finally, after experiencing the twists and turns to reach Balafonde Bay and enjoying the beautiful scenery with friends, James revealed his long-held secret under the stars: he is going to swim to the middle of the sea in the early morning of the next day and never come back! Faced with shocked, fierce or silent opposition from friends, he said: "My life has never been so alive, and now I just want to end it... Let the sea take me away, that is my choice. I want to stay awake until the last moment of my life...what I want to feel, even the pain of salt water pouring into my lungs, I want to feel my own struggle and struggle, no matter how difficult and terrifying it is, until I Don't be afraid of it anymore..." This confession made the listener feel like a knife, but it was still not recognized. However, it was Ye James who was unable to suppress the tragic call caused by the pain due to the loss of the medicine, which shocked everyone, as he said before, "My body is afflicted by the terminally ill illness, and the grief will come to them. ". Friends understood his choice, so in the morning after the sunrise, three friends went down to the sea with him, swimming to the depths of the ocean...
PS
-James has an enviable friendship, fortunately, such a friendship To accompany him until the last moment of life, he said: "You have made me spend a happy life. There has never been a tragedy in my life."
-I don't deny that I went to watch this movie because of BC. Although compared with such a heavy subject, I like to see his image of the narrative, eccentric, cool thinking, lonely, and extremely arrogant Juan Fujun. But there is no doubt that BC is a very good actor, and any role for him is a hard-working experience and excellent interpretation. The last ten minutes of the film made people cry so dumb and hopeless that they couldn't help themselves. At the same time, I couldn't help but think of Zhou Guoping's words: "Human souls can only walk alone, even those who love each other can't merge together, but two souls walk side by side in the dark."
