The actor played the inner and outer appearance of the British old couple very elegantly. The wife had breast cancer and faced life and death. The surgery and chemotherapy brought a huge impact on the two, and their relationship was also hurt. "The one who has cancer is I, not you." No matter how close the relationship is, it cannot solve the ultimate proposition that people are lonely after all.
There are a few scenes showing the body very well. The woman's breasts and body are not as bumpy as the young man's.
The medical environment in the film is much better than that in China: the hospital is clean and tidy, and there are not many people. When the wife undergoes chemotherapy, the husband has a sofa to accompany him, and he can also go to the coffee shop downstairs for a drink and a meal (remembering that I queued after 6 o’clock in the evening) The MRI was done until 1:00 am, and it was almost 3:00 after the end, and I was exhausted even though I was not sick).
The gay couple in the film is also a clue. The math teacher with advanced cancer gave up chemotherapy and shared the last moments with his lover to meet death, which is extremely decent.
There is no huge conflict between doctors and patients in this film: there are very few scenes of the doctor, and the biggest conflict is that the husband asks whether the cancer is completely gone or there is still a little bit, and the doctor replied, judging from the examination results, it is gone. However, the instrument cannot detect tiny cancer cells, so chemotherapy is still required after surgery. The husband complained to the wife that the doctor's speech was inaccurate, and the wife said that you should shut up and they spoke clearly. The biggest conflict between doctors and patients is such a scene.
In this film, the patient himself has a choice, and there is no dilemma of not getting treatment or having no money for treatment.
Although this kind of small film does not express the huge dilemma of human beings, such as the social separation under the background of globalization, the atomization of people, and the narrowing of ideology to the rich spiritual world of people, it expresses small problems and small warmth: the ordinary life of British people Be decent, people are decent.
And to my surprise, the hospital reconstructed this elderly woman, took fat from her belly, and allowed her to still have breasts! I'm thinking, if you are in China, women of this age would probably advise you to make do with it and not need to reconstruct breasts. Is breast reconstruction a cosmetic expense? It is not covered by medical insurance and needs to be paid by itself. Medical insurance only cares about the minimum level of medical treatment, trying to keep you from dying. As for human dignity and the beauty of the human body, it is not considered.
So, after reading this, it is both comforting and sad.
