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.

Breathe quotes

  • Dr. Entwistle: No one with your husband's degree of disability anywhere in the world exists outside a hospital.

  • Diana Cavendish: Dr Khan. Robin and I, we wanted to ask you a question. Didn't we, Robin? Can machines like that ventilator only work in hospitals?

    Dr. Khan: Well, it's just a machine, you know. You plug it in and it goes. Why do you ask?

    Diana Cavendish: Robin's going to leave the hospital.

    Dr. Khan: Do you have any idea of the risk?

    Diana Cavendish: Yes, yes I do. The risk is that he might die.

    Diana Cavendish: [turns toward Robin]

    Diana Cavendish: Robin...

    Robin Cavendish: I either go on living here or leave here and possibly die.

    Diana Cavendish: Yes.

    Robin Cavendish: Well, what are we waiting for?
