A person driving away quietly in the dark night, this is a man's last warmth, an intellectual's last dashing, and a person's last farewell to the world in the face of death.
I remember that in 2018, the film was still called "Richard's Farewell", but now the translation has been changed to "The Professor". It was waiting for the release at that time, but there was no news. As a fan, I admit that Depp has made a lot of bad movies over the years. The last time I saw him in a movie theater was "Murder on the Orient Express", and "The Professor" was not released in China. Compared to Depp's weird and absurd gothic style or bright and warm literary style, this "Professor" makes my eyes shine, and I have to admit that this is Depp's best film since 2010.
(Since Depp won the Golden Globe Award in the film "Sweeney Todd" in 2007, his vision of picking films has become worse and worse. It's a pity. I really want him to get rid of the title of box office poison as soon as possible!) The film straight to the point, Richard, played by Depp, was declared to have cancer, and then he gave up on himself, indulged in sexual desires, took drugs and alcohol, and in the end, he may have seen everything and chose to leave alone in the dark night. Richard, played by Depp, looks like an uncle, but he doesn't look like the decadent writer with split personality in "The Secret Window" or the infatuated tourist with a thick beard in "Deadly Companion". The role of a college professor is mixed with Depp's strong personal style. He looks more like a gentle scum. There is a sense of mystery in his eyes that intellectuals lack, but the temperament in his words and the appearance of suits and leather shoes are full of the aloofness of a scholar. In fact, the storyline is not very novel and the pace is relatively slow, but Depp's acting skills are still very good. As a university professor, he has a bright appearance, but his family life is full of contradictions. After being diagnosed with cancer, he was confused and afraid of death. He also encountered the double blow of his wife's cheating and daughter coming out of the closet. Only his friend Henry gave him care. , the subsequent indulgence, alcoholism, drug use, and swearing are just chain reactions. Why is the protagonist suffering from cancer a university professor? Perhaps the screenwriter wants to put the conflict of death on intellectuals to intensify the conflict, and the reactions and choices of intellectuals are more interesting and attractive than the general population. Death seemed to be coming on schedule, and Richard was at a loss, but he didn't tell his wife and daughter, only his friend Henry and student Claire. Henry is the biggest light beam he feels the warmth of love and friendship, and Claire is the female student he admires the most. Personally, I think Richard and Claire have some affection, but this may have nothing to do with the theme of the movie, and it has nothing to do with the development of the plot. , perhaps Claire's "like" for the professor is just because he admires his profound knowledge and courage to face death. Richard immediately reformed his class system after knowing that he was dying soon, leaving only a few students who were really interested in the subjects he taught. He took the students to discuss life issues together, and went to the bar to experience the real side of life. He and the students talked a lot, and when the end of the semester came, everyone gained a lot. Maybe the Richard you see in the movie is cowardly, but who can be brave in the face of death? He is indulgent, and he also engages in extramarital affairs, but he loves his wife deeply, even if his wife cheats, he never even blames her loudly. He used drugs and alcohol, but he was comforting his friend Henry when he was sad. It was him who should be crying, but he didn't want his own affairs to implicate others. He opened and closed his mouth to "fuck", but he has always encouraged the students to be active, take responsibility, and do what they want to do. He is clearly the one who should be passive and who should be motivated. It can be seen from this that although he gave up on himself and lived a decadent and sluggish life, he still maintained the warmth of a man and the confidence of an intellectual. He was afraid of death, he was afraid of leaving this world. How about intellectuals, how about noble and poor status, as long as you are a human being, you cannot fear death, until he accepts the fact that his death is coming, until he goes from hiding to facing it directly, then he can step out of the shadow of death. Step out and enjoy the floral fragrance and warmth for a while. In the face of death, the only thing we can do is accept it. The original translation of "Richard's Farewell" is so appropriate, why replace it with "Professor"? In fact, Richard's goodbye is not a goodbye from the heart, but a helpless goodbye in the shadow of death. A man's warmth is not reflected in his sweet words, but the courage he bears silently after suffering from cancer. He is afraid that his family will be heartbroken and will not tell his wife and daughter. His farewell is silent. Driving into the unknown night with the dog. This is a man's last warmth, an intellectual's last dashing, and a person's last farewell to the world when facing death. The film is divided into 5 parts. In fact, it may be better not to have to be divided into chapters. After all, the most important thing in a film is to tell a good story. Perhaps the screenwriter attaches great importance to the advancement of levels, but I personally feel that the division of sections is optional. It feels like I haven't seen Depp's movies for a long time, and suddenly I feel like an old friend is reunited. This movie obviously loses his personal style a lot. Some people criticize Johnny Depp for playing everyone as if he is playing himself. I completely reject this view. You never thought that Edward would become Captain Jack, right? The Mad Hatter and Willy Wonka are completely two-dimensional. "The Secret Window" and "Bonnie and Joan" are a thriller and a fairy tale respectively, but these come from Same person, same face. I hope Johnny Depp chooses the script well. After all, his acting skills are so brilliant and his looks are still online. No matter how the molecule is, the status is noble or poor, as long as it is a person, it is impossible to fear death, until he accepts the fact that his death is coming, until he goes from hiding to facing it directly, and then he can step out of the shadow of death. One step and temporarily enjoy the floral fragrance and warmth. In the face of death, the only thing we can do is accept it.
