For me, this is a very, very close to heart work. His two-part endings (Bruce Willie's ending and Samuel Jackson's ending) were completely different in mood, but both made me feel both heartbroken and brave. The theme of immortality is to find and accept oneself. David (Bruce Willie) becomes a hero and Ilya (Samuel Jackson) becomes a villain, essentially the same process. They all tried to change and hide their true self, but in the process of the whole movie, they all understood who they were (I'm not a mistake...) and tried hard to do what only they can do── Whether it's good or bad. Ilya's search for her own path is by no means just the fall of the villain, there is something heartbreaking and moving in it.
Movies are metaphors of life. In life, you don't have to be a murderer to experience Ilya's mood. It can also be that you have been hoping to become a first-rate writer, get a Nobel Prize or something... You have been working hard, but one day you suddenly find that what you write is nothing more than popular fiction at best. You accept yourself, and try to write what you like and what comes out of your heart, even if the public's evaluation is "beach novel", "you can throw it at the old book stand after reading it" and so on. At the end of the immortal catastrophe, I always believed that Ilya had a true friendship with David. He is the hero he has been looking forward to and has waited for more than two decades. Even after he discovered that he could only stand on the opposite side of David (as long as they shake hands, it is the end of friendship...how it feels like Firefly Forest QQ), this still remains the same.
I personally think that the most beautiful part of the movie is that after David killed the villain for the first time and rescued the imprisoned family, he returned home and lay next to his wife, telling her softly like a child that he had just done it. A nightmare. In the early part of the movie, the reason why David and his wife are alienated is precisely because he woke up from a nightmare. Instead of waking up his wife, he looked at his sleeping wife, feeling the untouchable loneliness, and then gradually closed. Lost myself. Until the end of the movie, David did not let his wife know his abilities. But after he accepted his true self, he no longer feared that loneliness. Because you are no longer afraid, you can love bravely.
