Use fresh life to prepare for death

I have to say that this is a movie that uses a lively life to prepare for death.

Many people believe that they have plenty of time during their lifetime, and they do not begin to prepare for death until the moment of their death. However, that moment is really too short. They are unprepared when they die, and they are not prepared when they are alive.

At the beginning of the film, Taylor wrote in his notebook as follows: "Gandhi said that no matter what you do is meaningless to life, but the important thing is that you do it. I still think that only the first half of the sentence is correct... …"When we were young and ignorant, we all had doubts about life. The world is so big, the future is so far away, and the small self is insignificant no matter what angle we look at. The suicide of the older brother, the loneliness of the younger sister, and the alienation of his father. As far as Taylor is concerned, although all of this has profoundly affected his outlook on life, it has no power to change anything. When a person faces such a powerful reality, When feeling helpless, inertia will choose to give up like non-resistance, so the young man who has been with alcohol and nicotine all day since the beginning of the movie paralyzes himself.

The sluggish and negative aura is very powerful. Everyone who has been attracted to it knows that it is tantamount to mentally chronic suicide. If the film follows this rhythm step by step, then Gandhi’s words really only need to say the first half. Is enough.

In the tragic example of young people committing suicide, some people believe that death is a beautiful thing and a relief from the oppression of life, but whether it is because of fear that they refuse to face death or romanticize death, all these are regarded as death. Child's play. When the heroine Ellie jokingly defended her reason for wanting to eat dessert first: "I just don't want to wait anymore. What if I die while eating chicken curry? The embolism burst, the asteroid hits the restaurant, and I can't eat me. I will die for what I want." Compared with Taylor, who faced the future with bare hands, Ellie faced her mother's accidental death when she was young, and death became a constant association between her and her father's lives. It is a time bomb that restrains each other's behavior. Fortunately, Ellie is brave. She has learned to enjoy life with an optimistic and open-minded attitude, instead of being restrained by adult past events. Death is neither frustrating nor exciting, it is just a fact of life.

Because of Ally's appearance, Taylor's life has taken a turn for the better. When the contradiction arouses to the point where we think it is out of control, it is also a moment of change and emergence. The contradiction between Taylor and his father will definitely be placed in broad daylight, and her sister’s withdrawn character will inevitably lead to her frustration. If there were no such crises, everyone would still draw a circle according to their own logic, and perhaps they would miss it. The intersection. Although the ending of the story is the tragedy ending with 9/11 as the main background, we did not see the collapse of Gemini in the movie screen, even the slightest smell of firework was not shown. The music at the end of the story is relaxed and comfortable. My sister is watching the exhibition accompanied by her father. The blurred father’s face is kind and smiling. After a lapse of more than ten years, Ai Li went to the subway platform where her mother had an accident again. The subway speeded up slowly, outside the window. The mother's figure is vaguely presented.

Yes, the important thing is that you did it, so even if death comes suddenly one day, you don't have to be upset.
