As I Lay Dying

What, why isn't this a sci-fi movie? After watching it for a long time, is there a deformed one? After watching the 20th minute, I finally began to accept the harsh truth that this is a realistic movie. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of science fiction, or even any fan. If I had to say it, I would be a "suspense" fan. But the reason for this movie is to take myself to escape from the real world. To be honest, I've been a little depressed recently. Talking to some friends can't keep up, and the relationship with family members is tense, and such trivial things make people very irritable. So look at this topic, hehe, "Barbarian Invasion"! Listening to it makes me excited, my thoughts drifted to 10,000 years before I turned on the player, and in an instant, I returned to the huge reinforced concrete jungle like "Through Time and Space to Fall in Love with You". Yep, that's my premise for Barbarian Invasion.
You should know how disappointed I am!

I put the mouse on the fork at the top right of the player several times, if it weren't for the fact that the eMule would not drag things quickly, I would have turned it off. Endured for ten minutes. At the 30th minute, the ward of the protagonist of the movie, Laodouyi, who is known as "Stronger than America", was crowded with his old friend and mistress, OMG, how open! I mean, his wife was there too! I moved the mouse from the fork very obscenely, and I knew I was starting to like the story.
Then, as if to encourage me, Laodou became even more explosive, and started to count the female stars who had "Iron Horse Binghe Dreams" (you know what I mean), and suddenly I thought the title of the film should be changed to "Laodou also has a spring." ". But it is very strange that these memories of his are not only not obscene, but rather beautiful. why? I thought about it later. It was the precious scenes interspersed in his recollections. Those actors, singers, dancers with their tall statures, proud swan-like necks, and sika deer-like calves, all of them reached them in a way more powerful than words. The nobility and elegance of the human heart thus offset the obscenity of his recollection and elevated it to a sublime blend of sex and love.
From here, the film has caught my eye.
For a lascivious woman, it would be perfect if there was a little more beauty in an attractive movie. To make up for my little regret that I can't see sci-fi movies, a beautiful woman appeared, her name is Natalie. To describe it with the words Laodou said to the nurse who wiped his body near the end of the film: "Are you an angel of the kingdom of heaven? Are you my goddess?" Natalie's melancholy and piercing eyes completely hooked me, But who knew she was a drug addict, and that's why she appeared in the story. So her appearance has the dual nature of beauty and sadness, and it is from her appearance that the film has such dual colors in my eyes. Is not it? Natalie is giving old bean Remy drugs to relieve her dying pain!
Now I'm starting to worry that Laodou won't be able to laugh anymore.
Remy did laugh less and less. He was fluttering and excited when he was smoking, and his expression was solemn when he watched the video of his daughter wandering alone to his hand. He's getting more and more into the role of a dying man, even facing the challenge of his son, Sebastian, who lost his handbag. He no longer says he "can't finish reading a book" as he did before his son came back!
Compared with this dying old bean, Sebastian's strength has gradually become prominent. His strength is money. Everything can be settled with money, at least that's what you see in the movies. This is the world view of a trader. When he walked out of the office of a person in charge of the hospital and said to her, "This kind of file is updated once a week, and I will come to ask tomorrow", you find that the world view of this trader still contains whether Poisoned filial piety. Sebastian takes care of everything and takes care of his business remotely. He is like the embodiment of money and interests, and the old bean Remy is the representative of human nature (including desire), one is in the ascendant, the other is dying. They exchanged silently.
That's right, Remy will die. Therefore, the warmth that seems to go against human relations in the film does not appear to be overflowing. The wife and his mistress were sitting together, and the friend had a big quarrel with his wife to let Sebastian temporarily live in his house. No one talks about the imminent death, but they are all making it as convenient and soothing as possible for Remy's final life.
In the final moments, Natalie, who was only born for life, acted as the executioner, ending Remy's life that had been enriched by love and sex, knowledge and power. There's a bit of irony, a touch of sentimentality that's enough.
Sebastian completed the important step of hospice care, as if completing his own baptism, like little godfather Mike, with a bit of coolness and a bit of transcendence, he got on the plane and left.

My mother came over and said, "Is this not a sci-fi movie?" "What is a sci-fi movie?" Haha, I made a parody of an advertisement. In fact I have indeed forgotten about sci-fi movies. Lost in the east, harvested in mulberry, "Barbarian Invasion" has brought me far more than a time-traveling sci-fi film can provide. When death is not a particularly terrible thing, life will be much easier. I hope that when I am dying, I can also feel so much possession in the pain. Hehe, who is not.

The Barbarian Invasions quotes

  • Rémy: [in French] Contrary to belief, the 20th century wasn't that bloody. It's agreed that wars caused 100 million deaths. Add 10 million for the Russian gulags. The Chinese camps, we'll never know, but say 20 million. So 130, 145 million dead. Not all that impressive. In the 16th century, the Spanish and Portuguese managed, without gas chambers or bombs, to slaughter 150 million Indians in Latin America. With axes! That's a lot of work, sister. Even if they had church support, it was an achievement. So much so tha the Dutch, English, French, and later Americans followed their lead and butchered another 50 million. 200 million dead in all! The greatest massacre in history took place right here. And not the tiniest holocaust museum. The history of mankind is a history of horrors.
