About love and death. Euthanasia.

At first I thought: The old lady died of old age, and the old man left flowers by her side. This is the reaction at the beginning.
Later, the old lady didn't want to drink water, and the old man said: Do you want to die? The old lady was obviously so willing. At this time, I thought: Will the topic of euthanasia be introduced? It's a hot topic after all. The issue of euthanasia is really a painful choice between lovers. Like , if I can leave quietly, why not? I can't act, I can't speak, I only have pain.
Unexpectedly, the old man suffocated her to death. Seeing this, I think it's finally a climax. Some people say: This old man is irresponsible, he doesn't want to work anymore, what love?
If you don't want to take care of it anymore, you can send it to a nursing home. In fact, the old man is not responsible. After all, it would be troublesome to send it to a nursing home, and you don’t care if you send it away, so why don’t you have to go and see it? Not to mention the pressure in my heart, and the so-called "commitment".
The old lady has always been in pain. It is impossible to pretend to kill herself in order to deceive the old man. Otherwise, why did she make a promise not to go to the hospital and nursing home in the first place? After people leave, they are liberated for themselves and others.
I think in the end, the old man should have committed suicide. If it was filmed, it would be a bit tacky.
Are you right or wrong when you say you suffocate her? Of course it's not right, it's a crime. So I said that in the end the old man should have committed suicide. There's no way a movie like this doesn't mention euthanasia. Is it humane or inhumane? Maybe the director wanted to allude to euthanasia. Euthanasia should not be allowed in France.
I suffocate you in the end, and I'm sure I'll jump off the stairs too. It's because of love and because we're all getting old. If you and I are both middle-aged, I don't think I will jump, and I have to live, our children are still in college. Love is not such a simple thing. The existence and controversy of euthanasia, there are too many factors interfere...
Let’s talk about the shots, the long, fixed shots from start to finish make the sound stand out, and there’s almost no soundtrack except for the piano in the middle. Wanted to put people to sleep, but really had a good tone. After watching it, I even liked this kind of footage a little bit. I watched it in the middle of the night, and my mind was calm.

    Love is two people keeping an island together. Struggling for one last bit of dignity in front of the death of a disease of old age and her daughter's caregiver neighbors.

    Top-level photography and performances, unmarked scheduling, dramatic events cut to the past, minimalist beauty. Water music, flowers and pigeons, gentle imagery, flashback opening. But forgive me, I really have no sympathy for this kind of madhouse-style relief and a highly developed social system. Not long ago, two elderly people left me after a similar ordeal. How can I contain the pain? Even if a little bit of an ignorant individual from a suffering nation is not the taste. 12 Palms

Amour quotes

  • Anne: It's beautiful.

    Georges: What?

    Anne: Life. So long.

  • Anne: There's no point in going on living. That's how it is. I know it can only get worse. Why should I inflict this on us, on you and me?

    Georges: You're not inflicting anything on me.

    Anne: You don't have to lie, Georges.

    Georges: [looks down at the floor contemplatively] Put yourself in my place. Didn't you ever think that it could happen to me, too?

    Anne: Of course I did. But imagination and reality have little in common.

    Georges: But things are getting better every day.

    Anne: I don't want to carry on. You're making such sweet efforts to make everything easier for me. But I don't want to go on. For my own sake, not yours.

    Georges: I don't believe you. I know you. You think you are a burden to me. But what would you do in my place?

    Anne: I don't want to rack my brain over this. I'm tired, I want to go to bed.
