The sky is above, that's all. . .

In fact, there have been countless fantasies about how the body of the id will react when that moment comes. calm? fury? numbness? Under the predictable expression, the unknown superego is actually more worth exploring. Heaven is on the left, hell is on the right, and the stars are on the top. The life of a mediocre university professor of literature, if it is not for the advanced stage of lung cancer, still does not know when it will be the end. But the pain is always excruciating, forcing you to see a doctor. Unfortunately, this back pain has the worst result. Although it seems calm on weekdays, cancer can always salvage people from the deepest abyss to the sea level, making people have to face the scorching sun and heavy rain. So, the professor raised his middle finger to fate with several consecutive fucks, and used a 720° tumbling in the quagmire to delusionally get rid of the tumor's entanglement. At that moment, he lost his previous decency, although this decency from a middle-class American family was not what he wanted. After calming down, it's time to say goodbye. But blows followed. Therefore, the theme of the movie is ready to emerge. How to choose the last 6 months of life you want? Whether it was true decadence or false indifference in the past, this time it will always turn him upside down. As a result, the literature class of the Holy Spirit was changed to a bar, and the temporary passion started in one minute, accompanied by the spiritual exchange of marijuana, the indescribable interaction with the students, and the laughter and cursing on the school lawn. All kinds of scenes that are unimaginable on weekdays are staged with laughter. But this film is not a comedy in the ordinary sense. Therefore, when I am alone, the pain that is not known to outsiders and does not want to be known by others, but the pain that goes deep into the bone marrow, always comes up from time to time, reminding myself that it is advanced lung cancer. There is a shot that is very impressive. After taking a vacation from the boss's office. The back pain struck again, and the professor leaned on the stone pillar staggeringly, suppressing the pain with a hunched posture, his facial muscles twisted by the pain, and his face half-covered by curly hair. I believe this pain has been tormented for a long time, every day and every night, like a tidal wave. There is no one willing to talk about it, or the character dictates it, and bear it alone. But now that the terminal illness has become clear, the heart at that moment, although unwilling, is already powerless to fight. On vacation, I just want to find a secluded place to walk the last road alone. A little sunlight leaking from the big tree was not enough to dispel the haze. The professor resisted the pain and raised his head, his powerless eyes full of unwillingness. The camera is gradually pulled up, and the rest is the helpless body after being tortured by pain. The dialogue with the wife and daughter is the most serious plot in the whole article, which is deeply touching, because there is always an explanation when it comes. But at the last moment, it can only be faced alone. The topic of discussing cancer or death is covered in many movies. Regarding the origin and end of life, the former is mostly discussed in China, but the latter has always been classified as a taboo topic. Comparatively speaking, with an open attitude, Western society can have a bottom-line discussion. "Bucket List" and "My Anti-Cancer" are two typical representative works. The former uses brisk emotions to vent the pressure of terminal illness, while the latter uses reflection to remind people that the happiness of life comes from inconspicuous moments and the most ordinary feelings. In this film, a more bland and even indifferent approach is used to interpret the protagonist's choice when facing a terminal illness, or to choose nothing. Sometimes people are very clear about the current predicament, and they also know that there are not many good choices, but those feelings that are worthy of nostalgia cannot be given up too easily no matter what. Right or wrong. The last conversation between the professor and her daughter was a summary of her life experience, and at the same time she hoped that her daughter could live a wonderful life. He knew what his daughter who came out and betrayed in front of her needed most. As for my own pain, although I also told my relatives and colleagues in the end, other than the shocking eyes and a few words of comfort, there is really nothing else to help. So the professor chose to be alone with a dog, stay away from others, find a secluded place, and wait for death to come. At the end of the movie, a magical night scene is created with a montage technique. The professor parked at the T-junction. There was an unexplored road to the left and right, and the boundless fields in front of him. Looking up, the starry sky surrounded by clouds and mist, and the moonlight was faintly visible. It's easy to choose a side, but it's not what you want. When there is no best choice, not choosing is the best choice. Because the future is known, it cannot be expected. Turn to the starry sky, go wherever the starry sky is. That's all.
