Originally I just wanted to write a short review, so I wrote a long one. Just move over. What I want to say may not have much to do with the movie itself, it is purely a personal feeling after watching the movie.
The movie itself is bland. The setting of the literature professor is to discuss the literature with the students so far, and it is not in-depth. The display of the relationship with his wife, daughter and friends is only superficial, and there is no deep emotion. Several conversations between the professor and his daughter mention how proud he is of her, but I don't see the portrayal of her daughter's character. The topic of death is also not new.
But very personal, the film brought me a new way of trying life. All this time my life has been enveloped by an invisible but thick insecurity. Rationally, I know such fears are false; but the body's instincts are always dominated by fear. It's like riding a roller coaster. I know I'm safe when I slide down, but my body is instinctively scared and can't control it. I've always lived in this sober fear and couldn't find an outlet to break it. When talking to others, I always worry about my image in the minds of others. Always instinctively and deliberately to please. Even a message on the Internet is worried that it will make others unhappy. At work, he is a good colleague who has no temper and gets along with everyone. When you need help, because you are afraid of rejection from others, you will try your best to solve the troublesome thing by yourself. The scary thing is that these so-called ways of self-preservation build an impenetrable wall between the self and the world. And those instinctive reactions made out of fear have become more and more taken for granted, to the point of gradually overriding rational logic. Such loss of sobriety is dangerous.
But the assumption that there are only 6 months of life left in the film suddenly shatters this fear. If imminent death is a fact, the wall of fear that has been erected has no reason to exist. This allowed me to quickly find a possibility to live a real and free life. Um.
