Extreme cases, it is difficult to inspire

7.2 points, the plot is very complete, the rhythm is relaxed and the details of the characters are in place... In short, all aspects of the movie are very good, but it is difficult for me to be moved and inspired. The barrage is saying that this movie celebrates great love and positive energy in adversity, but while I watch it, I think, there are thousands of sufferings, and the same life is impossible to ask for in the second half of life.

Think about how likely we are in real life to meet such a die-hard and altruistic partner as the heroine? It's not that people today have become selfish, it's that there are very few such people, and this is one of them. In addition, such a married life must be maintained on a certain economic and social basis - a full-time wife, no worries about food and clothing, lively and lively, what you want, in order to achieve the company in the plot and live your life. Only by continuing, the inconvenience of life can be minimized, and the pain of caring for critically ill patients can be digested.

What we often see in real life are examples of taking care of the critically ill other half, running out of savings, desperate, desperate, and sadly ending. Although the protagonist in the film is not rich or noble, but from the perspective of career, investment, family background, etc. disclosed in the film, all of these are prerequisites for all this to be carried out with "positive energy". If the family conditions could not support him to leave the hospital and go home to recover, he would not be able to live long after he was desperate for death.

So what is this motivation? What concept of marriage do you praise? It is said that poor and lowly couples grieve for everything. If everyone is not worried about economic problems, there will be many ways to do it, and the attitude towards life will naturally be much more optimistic.

Plus, the translation of the title is not good enough, not literary enough. In fact, this is like an ungrounded literary film. The title Breathe is also a foreigner's literary style, simple and blank.

All I can say is that this film is okay for people like me who are good at their skills but full of negative energy all day long, but it's hard to really inspire the public. But there is a character in the film who said it very well: every time I see you, I become stronger, not because you are worse than me, but because you can make others stronger. This is the only real truth that I feel is positive. If I remember correctly, the people who appeared at the end of the "Terrorist Attack on Boston" I watched before are really inspirational. The reason for the inspiration is that kind of personal attitude towards life: the world kisses me with pain, but I reciprocate it with a song.

    A biopic based on the real life of the producer's father. But the shooting is quite satisfactory, and there are no outstanding highlights at all. The relationship between the male and female protagonists in the opening scene is almost like a flash marriage, which leads to the lack of foreshadowing of the deep and long-lasting emotion. The structure and performance are far inferior to "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" with a similar theme. Andy Serkis' director also doesn't see anything unique. Oscar hits? Oscar is mediocre! two and a half stars

    70/100 The physical insufficiency and mental health of the protagonist of the story are fully demonstrated. When the path of this theme was blocked by the "principle of everything", Garfield and the heroine Claire Foy bravely carried out challenge. Garfield's handling of the role is more of a need to show the state of a polio patient than a parody, and the rise of the plot to universal values ​​is also an excellent handling of this film.
