Living in the moment

A movie I watched because of the words "Days Without Me" in the title. Because I, like many people, always have similar thoughts at some inadvertent moment - "What if I will die soon, what will happen to the people I love and the people who love me." "Even though there is a lot of helplessness, the result of thinking is still a lot of reluctance.
The heroine Ann was suddenly declared "death penalty" in her ordinary and happy life day after day. With only 2 months left, she re-examined her life. The coffee shop earnestly lists a few deceptively simple life goals for the short life (showing love to her daughter every day; husband finding a new wife; getting a new haircut; visiting dad in prison; A man ML...), and used the cassette to record her own thoughts and best wishes for everyone around her. It's just that she didn't expect how cruel it was to the people who loved her, and the person she loved disappeared. Afterwards, only her voice will accompany her, which undoubtedly deepens and perpetuates the great pain of losing the person she loves most, and will even accompany her for life.
The film's ending doesn't touch on Ann's death as directly as other films, but in her feeble voice shows all the things she wishes in her last wish: a re-dressed mom going on a date, a lover painting their house or saying they ever The tryst house, the hubby and the two lovely daughters and the aunt next door who they both love are ready for a drive out. . . Everything seems to have come true.
After reading it, something seems to be touched in my heart. Why do people always wait until they know that they will be in this prosperous world soon, and then they will soberly realize what they should do, and then they really realize that many things are not so well done. It's hard to learn how to forgive people who aren't really that hateful. . . Thinking about people who are thinking about how to live every day but are afraid or lazy to change, it seems that they should feel the fragility of life and the fragrance of life like ANN. Change a sentence of Ashin's song "If a person will live every day as the end of the world", what kind of love for life should be, and how fulfilling his life should be. Simply put, it is to live in the moment.
