Let me die

In 2007.7,

he began to fly, passing through plains and mountains, passing through wheat fields and streams, passing cars and crowds, passing memories and waiting, standing high and looking down at the sea where he has long been fascinated and the only one that can embody the value of his life. , Until plunged into it.
How much I want to jump in the water again, Raymond fantasizes countless times. When he was young, he broke his neck while diving on the beach, and he was always paraplegic in a high position. Fortunately, he still talked with a smile. For more than two decades, he has been committed to fighting society, religion, and law for his right to euthanasia, and has never stopped. Faced with too many questions and advice, he kept smiling and said, love me, let me die, his eyes are always firm. "Death is like swimming in the sea." He has always wanted to return to the sea of ​​pilgrimage, the place where the truth and soul are stored, and the origin of the heart, just like the English title of the film "The Sea Inside". This is a true story, which happened right next to the Mediterranean Sea.
Suicide is too heavy a topic, so no matter how beautiful the movie is portrayed, it cannot warm the deep and cold hearts of the viewers. Obviously life is so embarrassing. He lives in his poor brother's house. His family suffers from his struggle. He has called the name of death on countless nights of pain. But the movie is so beautiful with Raymond's smile. He flies in the Tosca aria; he climbs up and moves away from the surreal scene of the bed and flies away; he passes the cross on the way away from home, the old man, the mating animals, the child and other beautiful stages of life; he writes those beautiful and beautiful A philosophical poem to his nephew; he let the lonely woman who had persuaded him to survive to find herself and fall in love with her. Love me, let me die, unavoidable sadness. Death is the last expectation of life. When facing it and accepting it, life always seems so peaceful. Everything is over, no more toss about thinking, no more poetry, no more body, no more howling, no more crying, no more confusion.
Our protagonist expects death so much, perhaps normal people cannot understand the thoughts of a bedridden patient for many years. Everything needs help from others, including death. He feels that such a life has no dignity. He endured too much, and he understood the meaning of life better, and his continuous pursuit of life in the past 28 years has risen to a level that no one can understand. Death is the most inherent possibility of survival. Since there is no God, no cosmic spirit, and no historical reason, then the death that is directly related to survival makes survival especially precious. Raymond understands this too well. He pursues the sacred death with the cherished life, and faces the death squarely. He lives toward death, so he is quiet and transcendent, unlike ordinary people. And what are we still avoiding?
I always thought that the reason for suicide could not be spiritual. I also wanted to say to him, "Is freedom to stifle life or freedom?" And his answer was "Is life that stifles freedom still called life?" I couldn't help crying.
I watched the movie with the attitude of writing something. I didn't expect to be pricked by it. A relative of mine had a similar experience, but he could choose to live or die on his own, but it was too late to understand him. We always say that we will get better, but in fact, we will only tell white lies.
Maggie in "Millions of Baby" is paralyzed, and his coach helps her to relax.
In "The English Patient", Emash decides to die. Hannah understands him deeply and assists him to leave the world and follow his lover.
Even we usually have a few words of death from time to time.
The shadow of suicide will always pass over our bright sky inadvertently. When I was a child, I never understood. Why are they always so stubborn and unwilling to live in despair? Now I understand that they are not proud of themselves, but for the remaining dignity. A cow does not die because it can't think, but we can't help but make God laugh. Suicide is not a product of their emotions.
The woman who had made an appointment with the same illness to die together broke the appointment. The court's request for a sentence of euthanasia was rejected. He published his autobiography and announced his pain to the world, but he still exchanged for the so-called philosopher and psychologist to dissuade him from seemingly kind intentions. His brother finally broke out, "You know how painful it is for us to be alive." You know how painful we are when we are alive." Raymond was still calm, and rushed to death without hesitation. Have you ever known that when Raymond fought endlessly with illness at night, but couldn't end it with death, that kind of eternal catastrophe was his deepest fear!
I still remember when he finally left the house, his brother sat blankly, his sister-in-law hid in the house and wept bitterly, and his nephew kept chasing his car that was going away. The winding path was so long and bright. Colorful descriptions of people with different personalities. He is fortunate, his family loves him so much, and this kind of care cannot shake his decision to die; he is fortunate that he finally has a woman who loves him, and his death is fulfilled.
He smiled and drank the medicine, and finally jumped into the longing "sea". The sea is our hometown. The sea embraces everything, including life and death. It has returned to self in the endless tossing, and it has returned to the tranquility pursued in a lifetime.
The Sea Inside, won the 2004 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, Venice Film Festival Jury Award, and Actor Award. Using a lot of montage techniques, as well as wonderful transitions, excellent soundtrack, let us walk into the heart of a strong man. If you miss the film, what you miss is not the thinking about life and death, but the deep torture of self-examination and love. We see life through life and death.
Inability to evaluate Raymond’s approach, neither supports nor opposes it. Because:
"Death is a right, not a mandatory responsibility."
"Let me die if u love me!"

    "Life is a right, not an obligation." Is there no need for a life without freedom to continue? This issue has always been controversial, but in fact, no one can jump to a conclusion without knowing it personally. Javier Baden is so unrecognizable with makeup, and the acting is really good...The long shot is very impressive

    It still feels good, but it's also boring
