His name is Romain, the protagonist in the French film "The Time to Die", a photographer, has only three months to die. Before that, he was used to taking a camera to take pictures of the brilliance on the catwalk.
The film is delicate and faces life directly. Under the slow camera shake, there are tragic undercurrents of life: the bad relationship with my sister from childhood to adulthood, the questioning of my parents’ decades of marriage life, the affection for Sasha, a childhood sweetheart, and the love for Sasha. The intuitive rejection of his sister's child came from him -- he was in his 30s, and his heart was still weak and confused.
Is it tragic? I ask myself again and again.
Yes, for a person's heart, this kind of life is tragic.
Choosing a person to face the last time, he chased away Sasha and just told his grandma. Grandma said, why did you tell me. Roman said: Because you, like me, are about to die - the answer is so simple and tragic.
How will we face death? Roman was alone, grandma waited, and most of the others were ignorant.
So his lover Sasha walked to Roman from the sun, smilingly rejecting Roman's last request for physical and mental comfort - this is the emotional principle of living people: you hurt me, and now the hurt is still there, Maybe tomorrow or the day after, I can hug you again, but not now.
Yes, who would wake up every day to the shadow of death? Who will look at and cherish themselves and others with the attitude of the last day every day?
Roman's life is like what he saw when he revisited the old place of the church, the young self and Sasha hid after pranking him; just like the one who looked back, when they were hiding together, after Sasha kissed him, the young self At that moment, he was absent-minded and moved.
He is too slender, and gets hurt if he gets too close to the world, so he is alienated from the world, but when he was about to leave it, he finally chose to get close to the world in his own way:
he finally took the first picture of his sister photos with her children;
He agreed to the request of a woman who wanted a child, because in the loss of life he finally realized life;
he chose the sea as his final habitat, although the people on the beach were noisy when he went good time. As the sun set, and on the beach where the crowd had dispersed, Roman was lying there quietly, waiting for death to come. At this time, only the sea was constantly beating on the beach.
The Roman on the poster is so clean, bright, gentle, and so harmonious with the world represented by the child—although the picture on the poster never appeared in the film from beginning to end, but when the director is at the end of the film, let the young Roman returned to this beach with only a pair of shorts, and when we watched the young man walking towards the sea with his back to us naturally, I think the director wanted us to feel this is Roman.
