If it has a hereafter...

Maybe this is not a movie with a perfect plot, but in such a specific time period, it is full of indescribable power.
These days, I have read almost all the disaster movies, from earthquakes and tsunamis to volcanic eruptions to devastation. The plot of the movie and the reality seem to make me more and more believe that there will be an apocalypse. The familiar tsunami scene at the beginning of the film evokes the images accumulated over the past few days, which makes people mistakenly think that this is another suspenseful and thrilling visual feast. But after the thrill, the story slowed down and started unhurriedly.
I think such a story should be told in a gentle tone. He gave everyone a rhythm of thinking, and made everyone alive to slow down or even stop to think, "What will happen to us after we die?" If it wasn't for the Japanese tsunami, if it wasn't for the Wenchuan earthquake, if it wasn't for those disasters, I would I don't think I'll ever think about this seemingly stupid question.
But nature still asks us questions, when it brings unprecedented disasters and fears, when everyone speculates about the unknown 2012, maybe we should all slow down - what if we die?
This question may be eternal, but living people can never come up with the perfect answer.
Or maybe you will laugh at my mediocrity.

    I really like the little boy line.

    Perfect work. The last work I saw about death was Peter the Great's Lovely Bones. From a different angle, I still love it more from now on, and Er Dongsheng's Rebirth.

  • George Lonegan: Sometimes, I mean you know, knowing everything about someone, uhhh, its, uh, it seems nice, but really, maybe it's-it's actually better to hold stuff back.
