Catherine is a boring person in the eyes of others. She looks good but has many wrinkles. Her personality is not attractive, but she is not annoying. During the cleaning and housework, in the eyes of the students, she is just a submissive teacher who speaks without emphasis.
She likes onions, but she hasn't eaten them for more than ten years because her husband doesn't like the taste of onions. She wanted to have a swimming pool in the backyard, but the worker said that the location was not suitable for a swimming pool and reluctantly changed it to plan B. She hoped that her husband and children would put their clothes in order before going to bed, and they would close the cabinet door after opening the cabinet to get things. They failed to do so, and she silently sorted the clothes and closed the cabinet door behind them. One after another, one by one is too small to be small, but time is quietly flowing away in these trivial things.
However, everything is different. Since she knew she had cancer. It's really dramatic, but a lot of people have experienced this kind of drama firsthand.
She started tremblingly trying to do something she longed to do but never did. She greeted a neighbor across the street who she hadn't spoken to for years; she said something she'd always wanted to say but didn't say it in front of the eyes of the class; she said to the workers with certainty while yelling to embolden herself. I want a swimming pool; she has endured for a long time on the sofa that she has never liked, and poured the wine from the bottle on the sofa while drinking.
After she learned that she had cancer, she felt that her last remaining life could no longer be lived against her will. If you can't live out your true self in this last time, will there be time and opportunity in the future?
She is also us in life.
After watching the first two episodes, I asked myself a question: If I only had three days to live, what would I want to do? The first answer that came to my mind was wanting to be with my family. Selfishly, I don't want to be alone when I leave. And my parents are my closest and dearest people. Before I leave, I want to tell them that I love them and give them a big, long hug. Second, I hope to keep a diary to record my last three days of life and my mood. Although that didn't help me after death, but it could relieve the dying me a little. Third, I hope to hold hands with the person I love to face the last moment. Regarding this, my girlfriend said that the most important thing is to quickly find someone you love...
If you only have three days to live, what do you want to do?
=============Episode 3 and 4 dividing line==============
Things are not moving in the beautiful direction as imagined, just as things are not will always fall in a bad direction. Catherine didn't tell her family about her illness, but she couldn't bear the mental stress alone. She tried cancer mutual aid groups and couldn't understand what they advocated as Cancer is a gift. Perhaps such a natural and man-made disaster is a gift, because it teaches people to love life more in their limited lives. But no one wants such luck to fall on their heads.
In these days, her rational approach is to take out her pension, because she can't wait for her old age; the irrational approach is to squander money arbitrarily, she doesn't know what to do, so she thinks it out, on the surface Got a brief boost, actually more sad.
In the fourth episode, she first rescued the lobster who had the same disease as herself, put the lobster into the swimming pool when she went to see the house with the doctor, and then jumped into the pool to swim freely regardless of her clothes and the strange eyes of others. How much she missed the happy childhood when she was a child, and how much she hated her shrinking in the past ten years. Spinning and drifting freely in the pool, she once again felt free.
PS: Her doctor is really an exemplary man, not only gave Katherine enough face, but also said a few words for her in an understatement, which made her feel very enjoyable. Feeling sorry for her again after she jumped into the pool. And handsome, high salary, haha!
====== Well, procrastination is still serious. The third update is actually after watching the second season of E05E06 =============
Congratulations to me, I got my first pity job. Now I'd tell you to take your pity and shove it, but you know what? I don't care. I mean if this is why I got the job, screw it, I'll take it, because I love my job . You may hired me for the wrong reasons, but if you trying fire the lady with cancer, you'll better fire a damn good lawyer.(One of the parents:What a bitch.)Yeah I am a bitch. I'm a tough, brave bitch. And if you let me, I will turn all of these girls into tough brave bitches too who coulg go all the way to the championship. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to take my team whoever still on it out for a run.
In the first season, when Catherine first learned that she was in the terminal stage of cancer, she was hesitant, helpless, and closed herself. She didn't want her family to worry about her condition, so she kept it from them for a long time. The son seems to be in a rebellious period and does everything against her, and the husband is also like the second son she has raised. The childish selfishness can't make her feel dependable at all. She was looking for excitement and nostalgia for her youth in the process of having an extramarital affair with the black Lenny. The old lady said, you do have cancer, but that doesn't mean you can be a slut and do whatever you want.
The biggest tear in the first season is the last few minutes of the last episode. When my son learned that his mother was sick, he accidentally saw the gifts that his mother prepared for him for the next ten years, Christmas, New Year, birthday, graduation. The ceremony, all-encompassing, almost as if she had seen it right there. The son, who has always been ignorant of his mother's condition, finally squatted down in the colorful gifts and cried with tears in his nose.
In the second season, their lives finally began to get back on track. Catherine, who was frightened by cancer, began to actively seek treatment. Paul, who had always had a low sense of responsibility, also began to assume his role as the head of the family. He even advocated environmental protection and opposed the government. The homeless younger brother Sean is beginning to adapt to sleeping in bed and start designing various products for the baby. Everyone is getting more and more sensible, except for the son. So the focus of this season should be the son's transformation.
First, I finished handjob with a classmate who was addicted to drugs in the basement, and then I was half-assisted with a female classmate who admired him, but because he already had a girlfriend, he got rid of him. Finally, he found a prostitute to serve him directly to save trouble. Who knows that he was extorted and dyed again. got sick. Why are adolescent boys so hungry?
=============It's none of your business and it's none of my business - Season 2 E11 dividing line ===========
The frequency of watching dramas has slowed down recently, I watched "City of God" and "I Am a Singer" interspersed in the middle, but the charm of the TV series is its continuity. After you finish today's show, it always makes you think about the development of the plot later. The fate of these people is already in the later episodes. If you don't watch it, it's like hanging them all in the air.
Xiao Beibi, who put Sean on the right track, suddenly disappeared, and what would have been a wonderful married life also came to nothing. When I saw a yellow cloth covering the frozen homeless man in a snowy night, I really thought it would be Sean, because this is a TV series where the protagonist will die at any time. Last season, Katherine's old neighbor suddenly committed suicide. This season There should also be someone who will restore the tragic color of the TV series. But obviously I was wrong, this meme is just to increase the drama, so that Catherine used her ill-gotten money to buy a plane ticket to Hope for gay Lee.
Coming to my favorite part. The gay man got sicker and sicker, but the treatment didn't help at all. He decided to forgo treatment. He believed in Buddhism and calmed down. After the treatment failed, he no longer regarded cancer as a big thing. He's still living a life without cancer, and maybe his catchphrase will be "No big deal" or "Take it easy." But Katherine was different. She is a strong warrior, her enemy is cancer, you die or I live, she can't shake hands with cancer, she doesn't want to die. She represents the most mainstream values. She races against time, seeks career and family in her life, and fights cancer strongly when she is sick.
However, I appreciate the gay attitude more. After rejecting Katherine's help and concern, he firmly said, this is my belief, this is my life. I won't change myself just to reassure you. Translated into a cruder expression, it's "none of your business".
It seems to have become Catherine's nature to care about the people around her. When she saw relatives and friends around her in need of help, she naturally took over the problem and shared it with others. Therefore, her husband's selfishness, her younger brother's rebellion, and her son's naivety have all become her problems. Therefore, her old neighbor's dying life, the ignorance of the female student, and the gay man's death have also become her problems. What about her own problems? It seems that these things are of little importance. Her character makes her less and less attention to herself when she cares about others. In the past ten years, she failed to change her favorite sofa, failed to dig a dream swimming pool, failed to Living a comfortable life is all related to her self-sacrificing character. On the other hand, she has regarded it as her nature to help others and accommodate others, so even if she has few days left with cancer, she works hard to live her own life, and her own life still revolves around others. . .
It has to be said that Catherine's care and care for the people around her has given warmth to others, such as old neighbors, such as female student Andrea, such as gay Lee. There is too much indifference in this world, and it is a blessing to have someone who can care about you from the bottom of his heart. But how to hold the balance of concern and interference? How to correctly express "I hope to be nice to you, but I will respect your choice"?
As an aside, some people who believe in God, Christ, and the Bible will stick to their beliefs and refuse blood transfusions when they are in urgent need. At this time, how many people will stand by, how many people will laugh at "Look at this fool", how many people will be anxious but still support their choice?
In the vast world, there are too many strange values, beliefs and beliefs. Harmony and difference? It's so hard!
================= S02E13 LEE is dead. . . =====================
In this drama, there is no one I like the most! ! that's all. . hang up. . Three minutes of silence. . .
Why do you like him? He has a stubborn personality and a monotonous life, living in a place that is almost homeless. I love marathons, and follow the location of the marathon to change the hospital for treatment at any time. Even if I'm going to die tomorrow, I'm still coughing and running down today. Well, this is not my favorite part, and this is only a part of the details, not enough to reflect his characteristics. He is a Buddhist, and believes that life has its own belonging, and does not care about entering reincarnation one day earlier or later. So he can see it open, let it go, run and die. It feels very light weight, death is already the heaviest thing in life, but it is just the moment when you see the light of heaven.
When he felt that he was about to die, instead of calling the doctor to the emergency hospital, he gave his soul mate, and the two held hands, maybe heart to heart. When LEE took her last breath and Cathy couldn't help crying, LEE waved his left hand to C's face, as if to say that if you cry, you are not my soul mate, and you have to laugh and send me away.
C and his family were not able to go to Italy, but I believe that the moment with LEE is better than the Christmas she spent in Italy. LEE's last words were, Tomorrow, more sun. Sure enough, when C packed up his things and mood, and walked out of LEE's residence, he was greeted by the rising sun in the east. The orange halo shone on the earth.
====================S03 JOY is dead
================================================================================================================================= After finishing an episode, I wrote a little feeling, and now it becomes a feeling after watching a season. . Just like that spell, one person will die in a season, but I didn't expect JOY's death method to be so ironic. To be honest, if I were PAUL, I would also like JOY, this charming, coquettish and charming woman, not the yellow-faced woman who complains all the time and has a gloomy life. More importantly, whether it is intentional or habitual, JOY's praise for PAUL is always so decent and pleasant, and always makes PAUL feel his dignity and presence as a man.
JOY recommended PAUL's blog to her fans, affirming his level of writing and content charm as a blogger; JOY accidentally asked PAUL to come on stage to tell the experience of the moment of death in his speech, affirming his improvisation and stage charm as a speaker ;JOY hopes that he can become his regular partner, affirming the development of his career and the dawn of his upcoming success. When these were all realized, JOY seduced PAUL both verbally and physically, affirming his charm as a man.
PAUL was very firm at the beginning. Even though his hand had already touched JOY's private parts, he still pulled back his trembling hand and told JOY righteously that he loved his wife. But when he returned home, his beloved wife couldn't stop complaining about her current life. The urgency of wanting a child was incompatible with Paul's career that was about to take off. There seemed to be no love between the two of them. dissatisfied. In this case, he heard JOY's compliment again, and a man would be moved! A man will put his hand on JOY's plump ass like PAUL and feel the body and taste of this woman who has always admired her! !
At the height of his need for JOY's body and soul, JOY died dramatically. This is not only the misfortune of JOY, but also the misfortune of PAUL and the misfortune of CATHY. It is unimaginable that this dead man left her husband with something worthy of admiration and praise. For a period of time, her husband will never forget the feelings and changes this dead man brought him. More importantly, everyone has flaws, but this dead person has no chance to expose her imperfections to her husband, whether she has armpit or foot odor or likes to pick boogers in bed or whatever. , my husband has no chance to hate this woman! ! ! It's a harsh reality.
Men need understanding, women need love. More and more, this sentence is true! When her husband's heart was swaying, if CATHY could understand, or even be a woman, to pull her husband's heart back silently, perhaps these tragedies would not have happened. She also won't go to JOY's hotel like a mad woman to make a fuss. Although my three views told me that the biggest mistake in this matter came from JOY's seduction of married men, but after seeing the scene in the hotel, my sympathy for CATHY, the biggest victim, decreased a little bit. . . Still that sentence, a slap doesn't make a sound. If you still feel that the other party has 100% responsibility when encountering such a problem, it only shows that your mind is not mature enough. It is better to divide it into primary responsibilities and secondary responsibilities. In other words, cheating is a matter of nature, while the mode of getting along is a daily problem. No matter what happens and how things end, the person who cheated always escalated the mistake to a moral level. But the man who was cheated on wasn't the only victim.
=================== S04 C is dying =========================
The third season There are only 10 episodes. At the end, Angel's appearance and C jumped on Angel's boat to let him take her to a strange place. At the beginning of the fourth season, the plot was completely unconnected. Is it not imported in the country? Is it really impossible to continue filming, so the third season came to an abrupt end?
By the way, there are only 4 episodes in the fourth season, and each episode is 1 hour long. It does not conform to the previous style, and it does not look so relaxed. The dark humor is much less, and the heaviness of death is gradually oppressed. C will definitely die in the end, and American dramas with cancer as the theme can only end in tragedy.
C experienced the shock, panic, and helplessness when he first found out that he had cancer. He became crazy, cheated, and hysterical because he could not bear the psychological pressure. Later, he realized that he could not change this fact, and gradually became rational and actively enjoyed it. In the current life, she found her interest and found the meaning of existence; later, death was a little closer, and she did not want to bring a burden to her family and son, so she chose to stay in a nursing home. The final outcome is death.
Yes, everyone doesn't want this ending. But this is inescapable. Whether in drama or in life. We escape from death in the hope that after death we can enter heaven and live a good life. We refuse to die, and those who face it every day are glorified by us as angels in white.
A man is mortal. Suddenly I started to like the attitudes of India and Nepal towards death. On the banks of the Ganges River in India, or the corpse-burning temple in Nepal, people show death unreservedly in front of the world. After death, all that awaits you is fire and smoke, and only a handful of ashes. Or, even the ashes are thrown into the river. There are no crematoriums to whitewash the peace, and no cemetery tombstones to reassure the living. Dust to dust, dust to dust.
============================================
C is dead.
It was a predictable ending, shrouded in the shadow of death from the beginning of season four. Lost in her right leg, gradually blurred vision, and panic of instant amnesia, C began to arrange for her funeral. She moved to a nursing home so that she could leave safely, and hoped that her family would not be disturbed by death. But I still cried when she passed away. One is because the story has come to an end and life has come to an end, and the other is because Paul is holding the peony flower she wanted back then and she can't see it.
NEVER WAIT.
This is my deepest feeling after watching the ending. In the most memorable day of her life, she wanted a bunch of peonies but couldn't get them, and Paul remembered the story of that year when she was gone when he bought a bunch of peonies. This also reminds me of the beginning. In the first episode of the first season, after she learned that she had cancer, she immediately hired a foreman to dig a swimming pool for her backyard, the swimming pool she had wanted for more than ten years. By the time the pool was repaired, she was too sick to enjoy swimming.
When she was lying on the bed in the nursing home, she saw Dr. Sherman come to see her in a hallucination. The once indifferent doctor-patient relationship turned into a warm and compassionate fellow, and the two dying people with cancer were particularly relieved when they talked about death.
D: Death has got a bad rap. It's the only thing that makes life matter.
C: If we didn't have an expriation date, nothing would ever get done.
Birth is the beginning of time we engraved on our tombstones, death is our The end of time is engraved on the tombstone. And the years, ten years, decades or even hundreds of years between the starting point and the ending point provide footnotes to the epitaph on the tombstone. Thomas Jefferson, the former president of the United States, made no mention of the presidency or other political accolades in his epitaph. He only mentioned that he drafted the Declaration of Independence.
After the old neighbor's dog died in the play, C worried about the dog's epitaph for a long time. She didn't know what to write to summarize the dog's life. This is also the way she treats her epitaph. Just one or two sentences can represent this person's life, which is quite sad to think about. She mentioned this confusion when chatting with a psychiatrist, who expressed his feelings from a non-professional perspective - dogs don't care what you write. The deceased has rested in peace. The things on the epitaph are for the living. C instantly had an epiphany and wrote on the dog's epitaph, LIVED.
In the last episode, she mentioned not knowing how to write her epitaph at a family gathering, and asked her family how they would write it. In the end, she said Lucky Me casually, and she liked it very much, so she made it an epitaph.
There is also a very interesting clip. After the family brought C home from the nursing home, Andrea sighed while packing up and said that she was glad that C did not give up, and hoped that she could fight cancer to the end. C said that what she is most disgusted with now is the media propaganda that a certain person has defeated cancer. the loser? Loser? No one is a loser.
NEVER NEVER NEVER WAIT! ! !
