When you only have the last six months of your life, do you wait to die silently, or live a wonderful life?
The "Professor" released last year revived Johnny Depp, who had been depressed for a while. Many people called this film the best of the decade. Depp, as one of the most popular male gods in Hollywood, followed "Scissorhands". Edward", "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, etc., return to the highlights.
The film can be said to be an old saying. It tells the story of a professor who was diagnosed with terminal cancer and decided to give up treatment, let himself go, and have the courage to be himself. Different from previous films, Depp's acting skills in it can be said to be superb, without fault, which makes people feel deeply.
As a three-good professor, Richard never imagined that God made a big joke for him - terminal lung cancer. Of course, he also hoped that this was a joke, but the fact was right in front of him. With treatment, he could live an extra year, or half a year if he was lucky;
This background is implanted in the title, which seems to allow us to understand all the nonsense words and deeds of Richard in the future. In fact, when Richard received this news, he was full of sadness and helplessness. Apart from shouting "fuck" on various occasions, he could only plop in the pool once. It is not difficult to understand that no one wishes to leave this world, no one is not afraid of death. In the face of death, it is easiest to expose a person's nature.
The director subtly divides the film into six chapters, which describe Richard's six psychological changes, which can also be said to be six time and space changes, making it easier for us to understand his emotional line.
He forced himself to accept the death sentence, and when he was hesitating how to tell his wife and daughter the news, the misfortune did not come singly - his wife cheated on the school principal, and his daughter was gay. Speaking of which, I can't help but admire Richard's words when he hears his daughter's honesty. As a parent, I want my children to be happy and happy. And the saddest thing is hearing my wife say she has someone outside. After the two of them finished talking one after the other and left, Richard acted calmly and calmly, and naturally no one cared whether he had something to say.
I don't know if it was because of his anger or his sudden enlightenment. Richard went back to school to rework the class discipline. There were only a dozen people who were willing to stay and listen to the class, but it was enough. As he said, there was no need to waste each other's time. Then I found my good friend Peter, hoping to take all classes for the next semester, go on a trip, and tell him the news of my illness first. Then go home and talk to his wife for peace, the two of them are free to be romantic, as long as they maintain the status quo in front of the children.
Just live happily.
Determined, Richard gave up therapy to challenge something he had never done before. Time is short, be as happy as you can be. Smoking in class, taking students to bars, cheating, eating marijuana, challenging the bottom line with students. The wife also enjoys it with her lover. This win-win rhythm of life seems to be more enjoyable than before the illness. Peter couldn't stand it, and took Richard to the Anti-Cancer Mutual Aid Society, but Richard left after a while. But I agree with his approach. Instead of sitting here every day waiting for the news of death, it is better to enjoy it seriously and enjoy it before I die, knowing that death is approaching.
Life is to enjoy.
Richard taught students: "The world needs people like you, you have become an endangered species in the world. Embrace this responsibility, and shoulder the burden on your shoulders, walk out of society, support yourself, and give back to society.
It's a hard road, and you'll be alone most of the time, but you have to stand your ground. Don't choose mediocrity, don't be mediocre, don't be like the other 98% of the world. Because the world is devastated, you have to rely on yourselves.
You are very smart, and you must know very well that life cannot be wasted. You have only one chance, only one chance. Don't let time slip away from your fingertips. Grab it, hold it, take advantage of it, cherish every minute, every second, every breath.
Life is actually a song of birds. "
Life is about constantly missing and reflecting. Only when you lose can you know how to cherish it, and only when you die can you understand the difficulty of life. Richard finally tore off his disguise and faced his true self. In the movie, Richard did not fear death, but comforted all those who were sad for him, and his attitude was really moving.
Richard commented on his daughter, she was his greatest pride, and everything about her met his requirements. No disapproval of her daughter's sexuality was expressed, the only attitude was support.
Richard confessed to his wife, she will always be the favorite in his heart, and hope she can meet his lover again. Cheating on his wife is rational and calm, and wishing his wife is a desire from the heart. It's not that I don't love it, but I hope she can live a happy life.
The movie tells us one of the biggest truths: life is hard, and there is no need to wait until the last moment to wake up. Every moment from now on, you can drop all your pretense and be your true self. Life is as it should be.
A couple of goodbyes, and drove away from home with a little luggage and a dog. Heavy rainy night, tired body, only one person. The moon is hidden behind dark clouds, and there are only two paths ahead. Richard stopped and thought for a while, then laughed. Without hesitation, he drove to the field ahead.
Life, always, clouds open, see the moon.
