insight into the movie "Before I Disappear" Usually I talk about human nature from the perspective of human needs. Therefore, I also consider human physiological (or animal) needs. As humanity. This concept of human nature can conduct a comprehensive investigation of "human", but it cannot effectively distinguish "human" from animals, that is, it cannot be regarded as the essential feature of "human". Therefore, people are more willing to understand human nature from the perspective of human sociality, and regard "sociality" as the fundamental reason why people are human. Although I also feel that human beings have always been self-centered, and human "sociality" may not be able to effectively distinguish between humans and animals. All human social needs may not be unique to humans, but some social needs It is indeed impossible to see in animals, we might as well call this kind of need "the most human."
How to identify the "most human" things? Different people may have different opinions. Movies like "Before I Disappear 2014" provide us with a good perspective, and it will be something for all of us. Touch, as long as we substitute ourselves into the role of the hero. We can first imagine this: When we are ready to give up life, or death is imminent, what is the most unforgettable thing? It won’t be an animal need like not having enough to eat and dress, or a social need like fame and fortune, so what would it be? In combination with this film, the reason that led the actor Richie to give up his life was that he lost his girlfriend. The death of his girlfriend made him feel that there is nothing worth living for him anymore. The existence of "love" became him. The basis of life and death, then, is "love" the "most human" thing? I'm afraid this issue needs to be analyzed in detail. Love seems to be a unique emotion of human beings. Even though we cannot be sure that all animals do not possess such emotions, we still want to believe that love is our "only". However, from the perspective of human needs, this kind of "uniqueness" is not universal. It is not needed by everyone, nor is it that without it, all people will seek life and death. Therefore, it should be said that this kind of "love" is It is hard to say that a kind of human characteristic is a kind of "most human" need.
Rich was about to die because he lost his lover. Because his sister needed him to take care of her daughter, he gave up committing suicide. Therefore, some people think Rich died because of "love" and was born because of "love." It was family love that saved him. Indeed, it was the "need" of family affection that saved him, but it was also the "need" of family affection that pushed him to the brink of death twice. The niece refused to let him in, he went back to commit suicide, his sister asked him to leave, and he went back to commit suicide. This kind of "family" need that comes and goes away seems to be a kind of "most human" need. If this understanding is correct, then family affection is no longer the most cherished emotion in human nature, and it cannot even be regarded as a basic human need, because it is no longer family affection at the level of "love". In fact, as long as family affection is based on love, it must not be measured by transaction. If it is broken by money, it is flowing in the blood, and it cannot be denied by words. For his niece, let him leave because the family love between them has not yet been established; for his sister let him leave because she was afraid that he would affect her more cherished daughter, however, this does not mean that they There is no need for family affection. In fact, when he gave his niece caring protection, when his childhood memories made his sister burst into tears, family affection quickly recovered. For himself, the suicide was because he misunderstood family affection. Although his niece's need for his family affection made him feel "suddenly found a part of himself, it longed to see the rising sun tomorrow", however, because he mistakenly regarded this family love as an object: "I was asked to do someone a favor. I no longer like to help. This is the debt I have to repay before I disappear." He regards his sister's care for him as a repayable "debt", so love Once his expression was frustrated, he buried this love in his heart again. Very stupid approach. As everyone knows, family love is an absolute human need, and it will not be denied by the words "not needed".
In fact, I really like the term "debt of love". If you can understand family love correctly, you will have to pay for "love" for a lifetime. There is nothing more human than this. (Author: Planting Flowers on Slate, please keep the article intact for reposting, May 21, 2015)
