worth seeing

I was fortunate enough to see one of the Spanish film festivals that no one knows about (and it's free!), "Mar Adentro" in 2004. It starred Javier Bardem, the actor of "Vicky Cristina Barcelona". I have

seen "No "Country for Old Men" (2007), Javier Bardem gave a frightening impression and won the Best Supporting Actor. I didn't know he was Spanish, so when I saw this film, I suddenly felt very kind, how can he speak Spanish Yes? He also acted in "Love in the Time of Cholera" (2007).

The story is a bit like "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly", which is also based on a true story. It's about Ramón Sampedro, a man since the age of twenty-five. A former sailor who was paralyzed from the beginning, a story of 30 years of fighting for euthanasia. The

director is Alejandro Amenábar from Chile, who is also the screenwriter of this film. Looking

online, the film has these Chinese translations: Ignite the sea of ​​life / Deep sea sleep / The sea of ​​love / The Mystery of Euthanasia/ Going to the sea.

Although Ramón Sampedro has always asked for euthanasia, his life, his appeal, has ignited the people around him and infected many hearts. They did not feel pessimistic about life or give up because of him, but had a positive impact .Personal

belief relationship, I don't intend to talk about the right and wrong of euthanasia here. Even if I don't agree with the choice of the protagonist, the film is well made. The story is smooth, the rhythm is lively, and there is no boring scene.

The film uses a lot of humorous techniques, but also a little move.

The position of the pastor in the film may be the director's personal antipathy to religion? Or is it loyal to Ramón Sampedro's real-life experience? But if a pastor is as insensitive to a chronically ill patient, he doubts his family's love for him And caring, then I believe he doesn't know how to communicate with people. I don't understand why religious people who oppose euthanasia must be described as indifferent.

Javier Bardem is no longer Anton Chigurh in "No Country for Old Men" this time. , Although the whole film is performed in bed, that is, only the facial features are acting, it is impossible to be competent without real talent.

Lola Dueñas who plays Rosa is also very good-natured. Volver" (Floating Flower/2006). He is also a good acting person.

People who are paralyzed can also have love. The two episodes of Ramón Sampedro and Rosa and Julia (his lawyer) are worth scrutinizing.

I also like it very much The scenes of Ramón with his family, especially the one with his wife and him. Heartfelt and moving.

Don't worry that the scene is limited to Ramón's bedroom. His imagination, like being on the beach, flying out of the window, etc., is vividly depicted.

The film won dozens of awards, and was also the best foreign language film at the 2005 Oscars.
