The end of the old man

The dialogue between two despairing people after they met
without subtitles, you can appreciate their feelings for 1 hour. It is
indeed a good film

. Please allow me to briefly summarize:
The man who believes in God will try to save the Professor who wants to commit suicide . Not only for faith, but also for the hope of their own survival.
But Professor is stubborn to choose death. Because of the complete despair of the world, he "fights despair with death".

So brief self-report:
inexplicably remembered that a lovely female classmate in elementary school asked me "Do you think death is a relief?". It's very strange, and it feels strange when I think about it now. People who can feel the inherent loneliness all the time think so.
But, wrong. I feel lonely not because I'm really alone, but because I can't afford others. Just a coward talking nice things to escape this "dirty" world, no big deal. If that would kill me, it would be boring to be born.
I have often said that one of the tasks of the essence of life is to live. Not for any other reason, but as it should be. The laws of nature cannot be changed, death is inevitable, but life itself is a struggle against it. In the cracks of the second law of thermodynamics, the miracle that happened must be continued. Whoever retreats from it is a coward. Whoever succumbs to the threat of death is not even a coward.
That's basically how to eat~

    The long-term non-drama life in other places has made me more and more like to watch dialogue movies. The acting skills of the two old actors can make the deeper themes not too complicated for the audience. This is a nihilism against the traditional creed. The end of the story seems to be nothing. Doctrine won, but in fact, the Bible has not been revised many times. The evolution of all things, including self-denial, the collapse of the belief system is the biggest test. How wonderful it would be if a pantheist character was added to the show.

    Black: And that's what sent you off the edge of the platform, it wasn't nothin' personal?

    White: Oh, it's personal, that's what an education does, it makes makes the world personal?

  • Black: The sun don't shine up the same dog's ass every day, you understand what I'm saying?

    White: If what you're saying is that I'm simply having a bad day, that's ridiculous.
