Dignity to live and die

Living with dignity is not easy. Wang Xiaobo expressed such a view, and I was influenced by him. "Dignity" means "being treated as a person". Sometimes people don't treat us like people. More often, we don't treat ourselves as human beings.

I have a long group life experience. In public spaces, we often ignore or deliberately ignore our living environment. For example, no garbage is taken out, cigarette butts are thrown around, the toilet is not flushed, and instant noodles are eaten in the air-conditioned room... There are many slogans "X is home", but they are just slogans. Truly our own home, we would never do that.

There is no such trifle in the movie. Life and romance are two different things. If there is no filter, defecation, scrubbing, changing clothes... day after day, it is not romantic at all. But when time comes together into memories, it becomes romantic.

But "surviving" is not living. no ventilator

    Claire Foy always looks so righteous and it's really boring. What I like most is when he came home that day and finally saw the garden, the roof, the sky again, this moment is full of regrets, no matter how advanced the film technology is, the lens eye is far inferior to the human eye.

    There are a few touching moments, but the shots are so peaceful. Passable, but far from excellent.
