dying

Starting from the perspective of hospice care and taking the passion for life as the first principle, the moral foundation of the film is established, which greatly reduces the discomfort of the audience. In this way, sharp criticism and irony can be put forward to the alienated and hypocritical morality and system under the cloak of civilization. What is worth lamenting and pity for human beings is that most people do not have the courage to break through this layer until they are old. The so-called old age does not matter.

Important Lines 1 The twentieth century was not as bloody as everyone thought, with 100 million dead in wars, plus 10 million in the Soviet Gulag, and a total of 135 million in labor camps. good. In the 16th century, the Spanish and Portuguese wiped out 150 million South American Indians without gas and bombs. The biggest killing in human history happened here, not in a small museum of slaughter. Human history itself is a history of horror. 2 I have slept with peerless beauties all my life, and I didn't know I was old until one day I dreamed of being in the Caribbean Sea. 3 What you cannot give up is not your present life, but your past time, and the past time has long since passed 4 At least I have to leave some traces, a little achievement in my life is enough, you can explain it to yourself, and you will die.

    There are many movies of father-son reconciliation, such as "Big Fish", and when the father is dying, the so-called dignified farewell between father and son and relatives and friends is specially used to exaggerate the so-called dignified farewell, which is also a special feature of the director of a non-American comedy. The style, however, the Americans also followed suit. It seems that if you go to the United States for an inspection, you must have the title of "Old Bean is Stronger than America". You should have watched the DVD, but I have no impression, especially father and son never talk. Speculation to the last family hug, isn't our father and son actually this way from confusion to the final "reconciliation"? The father is inseparable from the woman, the mother also leaves the father, and the father and son become a strange relationship. At the last moment of life, friends come, wives come, and even lovers come together as sisters, everyone seems to be relieved It seems that saying goodbye to life in such a more "life-like" way is really turning grief into strength (libido); and at the end of the movie, when my father was tortured by his illness and used a large dose of "heroin" to make himself happy, We can't help but feel that the fragility and misery of life are said to be the father's generation, the son's generation
