No movie has ever made me watch it over and over again. The Canadian film Last Week is a special case.
A primary school teacher who was about to get married in his youth began to seriously reflect on his life after learning that he had terminal cancer. The marriage decided because there was no reason not to propose, and he had repeatedly failed to give up his dream of being a writer and changed his career as a primary school teacher. The adventurous life is all suppressed in it. At the end of his life, he finally let go of his motorcycle to travel around Canada, met a sexy farmer, thought he was dead in a traffic accident, crazy love in the forest, and the aurora in the sky, sleeping on the beach, in the presidential suite Looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and surfing in the Pacific Ocean, until he found the monster he dreamed of when he was a child, he knew that he had found what he wanted. . .
We don't live as he did before. Because of the social values ​​and the expectations of parents, in order to survive and work, when do we really care about our feelings, when you know your life dream, how many people are now struggling for it, living in a dazed, numb life, only Because time goes on, maybe when we know that our life is going to end soon, we suddenly realize that we are going to spend our life like this? Unwilling! But why not make a change sooner?
When the old people opened their shops in the early morning, when the Qingming Festival came and people continued to live, he had already left, and what he left behind was the insights he brought with the last time travel in his life "The Last Week"
When there is only one day left in life What would you choose to do during the week? How can those dreams not come true, what coffee shop has not been to, what concert do you want to go to?
Life is facing death every day, struggle to find and pursue never compromise! This sentence has also become my motto.

One Week quotes

  • Narrator: When you get those rare moments of clarity, those flashes when the universe makes sense, you try desperately to hold on to them. They are the life boats for the darker times, when the vastness of it all, the incomprehensible nature of life is completely illusive. So the question becomes, or should have been all a long... What would you do if you knew you only had one day, or one week, or one month to live. What life boat would you grab on to? What secret would you tell? What band would you see? What person would you declare your love to? What wish would you fulfil? What exotic locale would you fly to for coffee? What book would you write?

    [Written on a black board: "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."]
