"My Life Without Me" tells the story of a girl named Ann in icy North America. 23 years old, with two daughters, and her husband live in the RV in the backyard of her mother's house. The husband is running outside all day, and Ann goes to the university every night to work as a cleaner. Ann's father was imprisoned for 10 years, so you can see the firmness in Ann's eyes that the 23-year-old does not have. Ann met her husband at Nirvana's last concert, and Ann knew that this man was always the one who threw a T-shirt to wipe her tears, just like when they met at Nirvana's concert.
At the beginning of the film, Yulian's monologue has already paved the way for the sudden change in the situation behind, and Yulian said: This is you. Eyes closed, standing in the rain. You never thought you would do this. You never see yourself like this. I don't know how to describe it. Just like those people, they like to look up at the moon or watch the waves and sunsets all day long. I think you know what kind of person I'm talking about. Or maybe you don't know. Anyway, you kind of like it, just let it be. Fly in the cold wind and feel the moisture seep through your shirt and slide over your skin. The feeling of the earth slowly relaxes under your feet. And the smell, the sound of the drizzle hitting the leaves. All those things you never read in books, this is you. Who ever guessed, you.
Sure enough, Ann was notified of her death, and doctors told her she had only two months left. Ann writes down N things to do before she dies in a cafe. Then I started to do it one by one, and the days seemed to be normal, but my husband didn't know it. What she wanted to do before she died was handwritten on the screen: 1. Say I love you to her daughters several times a day; 2. Find Tang (Ann's husband) a girl he likes; 3. To her daughters 18 years old Record birthday wishes for each birthday before; 4. Go to the beach for a picnic with the whole family; 5. Smoke and drink as much as you want; 6. Say what I want; 7. Have sex with other men and experience what it feels like; 8. Let someone People fall in love with me; 9. Visit Dad in prison; 10. Nails, hair.
These 10 dying wishes can't help but make people sad. As explained in An's inner monologue in the film, his father was imprisoned when he was a child, and his mother hated the world since then. When he was a husband and a mother at the age of 17, he lost the dreams and happiness that all girls should have. An and her husband's life cannot be said to be peaceful, but this kind of peace seems to come a little too early for such a young and beautiful girl. Even so, God will take away even such peace.
By chance, An's wishes came true one by one. Dad said in prison that people can't always love the way they love, Ann said she wanted to touch her father's face, and they recalled the happy days when Ann was a child when her father was at home. Mother was alone, and on her birthday, it was a bartender's birthday present that brought her to tears. The birthday messages for the daughters were recorded, and a small box of tapes was entrusted to the doctor and asked him to send it every year on the children's birthdays. Ann met a man who knew only 5% of her and fell in love with her without hesitation. Even the new female neighbor is so harmonious with Ann's husband and daughter...it's just that a trip to the seaside has become her unsuccessful wish. Ann finally left a message to her husband saying that she didn't want to make her family worry about in the hospital at the last moment. She thought that her husband would understand her decision and painstaking efforts.
In the last paragraph, Ann was lying on the bed. Ann's husband and the female neighbor who was invited to dinner were busy cooking with their two children. Ann saw their lives after her death. She smiled and rejoiced at the "days without me" ".
This is a very light film, but the picture is occasionally abrupt, and some bold compositions outline the thrilling behind. Ann's performance is very appropriate, the indifferent sadness in his eyes and the smile on the corner of his mouth are completely natural to this character's character. She almost effortlessly brings out all the details and inadvertently.
Death, it has been a long time since I experienced death so directly in a movie. Ann's calmness in the face of death is suffocating, and the music interspersed in the film is moving. How can our craving for life deal with sudden death? Walking in the bizarre street market, An suddenly realized that this dazzling array of commodities that are too expensive to buy in this life is just something that makes people realize that they are far away from death. But actually, Ann uses her last experience to tell us that it is there.
How to cherish every chance encounter in ordinary days. If one day death comes quietly, can we be as firm as Ann? Will those hard lumps that are congested in the heart melt in an instant?
