return to the mother

Carmine 2022-04-21 09:03:20

At first, I saw him with long curly hair and deep eyes.
By the end, I saw that he was pale and weak.

I often fantasize about what would happen if I had a terminal illness.
I fantasize about the same as what he did.
I will not fight.
Everything that God gives you is predetermined.

He drinks Evian's water and uses a Nokia phone.
He was dying.
He still has three months to live.
He is a photographer.
He only told the dying grandma that he was going to die.
He photographed the people and things he loved.
He reconciled with his sister who had been in conflict.
He hugged his father fiercely.
He broke up with him.
He gave a child to an infertile couple.
He gave his inheritance to his unborn child.
He died by the sea.

The sea is the sound of waves one after another.
He returned to his mother's body.

(The director's work, the most impressive thing is "Looking at the Sea".
I always feel that any earth-shattering things
become insignificant under her lens.
Or ordinary.

The men in this film are engaged in the work of capturing moments A
moment. It's forever.
He seized the moment. He couldn't grasp the forever.
Then. Take the moment
as forever.

You shouldn't be too hard on yourself. Or others.
That's what I said to myself.)

    It's amazing, how can death be so terrible in itself that it can make everything better?

    The movie puts the old mood into the young body, but only in this way can it have a more solemn taste than death. Everyone in the world will understand, but most people will come too late, because by then he will be dead.
