Over the years, the time has passed. Many movies that were considered good-looking at the time have changed their appearances under the falsification of memories. At that time, it was naive and ridiculous. Some might be fascinated by someone who suddenly fell in love, and some were blindly chasing after the trend, trying to scream that I like it and flaunt the so-called taste, chasing approval. The ones who really stay here are those who come into the heart. They don't care about word-of-mouth or whether they are performed by popular actors. To put it bluntly, they are works that truly fit with the soul.
"The Third Star" should become such a movie. After watching it, it evoked the dream of a director in my heart. "It would be great if such a movie could be made in this life." It’s like when I was a child, when I had eaten a particularly delicious wolftooth potato, I would think, “If only I could make such a wolftooth potato in this life.”
There are many movies about heroes in the world, and our ancestors Under the blessing of communism, they have survived through the rain of bullets, and Americans have dreams of spider-man saving the world.
I prefer ordinary stories.
The four friends in "The Third Star" are you and me in the mortal world. James, the terminal cancer is incurable, somewhat arrogant, has nothing to do with the dream of a writer; Miles, a relatively successful guy, has not become the writer he wants to be, he laughs on the surface, and has a fear and impetuous heart; Davy, takes care of James wholeheartedly He is a good friend who doesn't have a job and is eager to be needed; Bill should go to Amazon to shoot tree frogs but is trapped in a TV station and engaged in photography. By nature, he is free and easy to entangle with his girlfriend. For James's last wish, they set off for Balafonde Bay. During the journey, they laughed, fought, accused each other, and accompany James on the last journey.
Their friendship is like everyone's friendship, each with its own differences. Davy is the closest to James. He is like J's other half. He takes his medicine, takes care of his daily life, and does his duty. And the one who fits J most in heart is Miles, because they are another each other. After the quarrel, Miles's three sentences were interrupted by James' three "Yeah, I know". They laughed at each other. They both have the same yearning, the same pride, and the same fear: they can't be what they want to be.
Miles is the only one who does not tolerate James’ accusations because of his illness, because deep down he knows what James is like, and he also deeply understands that when he is sick, he transfers his dissatisfaction with himself and the cherishment of time to Friends, but because they were so alike, he didn't want to see James like this.
Let's talk about James himself, thank the movie for giving us the real side of the patient, instead of suddenly saving the protagonist at the end or focusing all attention on how he overcomes the pain or giving us a pot of spiritual chicken soup. J suffers from illness and pain, complains about the lack of time, and blames the life of his companions. He is calm and sometimes extreme due to illness. He makes mistakes. This is the greatest and most ordinary point of terminal illness: change and control life. .
It is really enjoyable to fall in love with Benedict. He is so good at acting and brings us one after another fascinating role. He who drank morphine as water was so thin that he felt distressed, and Benny, whose face was distorted in pain without morphine, made me feel so empathetic. If it is not distressed, I really look forward to seeing how Benny interprets a person who is on the verge of drug addiction.
"So I raise a morphine toast to you all, and if you should happen to remember it's the anniversary of my birth, remember you were loved by me, and you made my life a happy one, and there's no tragedy in that."
