Those who are about to die should stick to the archway of family and morality, spend the last time on the hospital bed or at home as Freeman's wife hopes, let the relatives around you witness your death and draw a picture of your normal life. A seemingly perfect period; This is a dialectical thesis, and the above two extreme points of view may not be good, so the director chooses to let them wander between the two. It seems to be moderate and harmonious, but it is only for commercial considerations that are not too outrageous and not too conventional. It is difficult to distinguish between moderation and compromise; one is a state and the other is a choice. This film belongs only to the latter. In my understanding, this should be a film about self-recognition and self-redemption. It is an accusation of a mediocre life, and it is also a refutation of a wild and willful self-seeking. It may be the original intention of the film to be able to slowly experience the sincerity of emotion and love in the uninhibited final years, and to be able to freely pursue dreams that have never been realized in such genuine feelings. But I have to say, the director's handling in the second half is too bad. Abruptly turned a very philosophical and interesting theme into a harmonious snack with a little sensation and a little insight in "The Reader".
"Most people don't want to know the specific time of the end of their lives", because the unknown seems to be related to infinity, and in such "infinity" self-suggestion, we can waste our lives, wasted years, and ignorance without any scruples. , I don't know what to do...
Freeman said "I have worked under the car for the family and my children for decades, and I am worthy of them. Now, for the rest of the time, I will do What you want to do." According to the biological interpretation, the meaning of life is only reproduction and continuation. This seems to be an irrefutable truth for the entire human race; but for individuals, is it too sad to suppress individuality and annihilate dreams just for the social responsibility shouldered by this proposition? Responsibility is not nature, but more should be the expression of loyalty to emotion. "Responsibility" and "dream" are not opposites either, and we need to learn how to achieve the state of "moderation".
If you were to make a "bucket list" now, what would it be on it? If you were sensible and asked you to write a "bucket list" every year, how many incredible differences would there be? In life, how much is what you really want to do, and how much is something you have to run around; how much is looking around on a whim, and how much is the pursuit that will always be remembered. Can we really only wait until the end, when the "date" is pronounced, when there is no time to think about those "must"s, and when you no longer have to worry about the burdens imposed on your life, can you gain insight into your real needs and your true self? Suddenly thought of NIKE's advertising word "JUST DO IT" again. There is only pursuit, no regrets; life is like a summer flower!
