Half and half

I have watched so many movies (of course I am still a sesame bean in front of some great gods), but there are still only a handful of good movies, what can I do? Just two words: fate. In fact, if the movie resonates with you, most of the movies are good, just like the movie "Me (50/50)" that I am about to say, it resonates.

"Anti-Cancer Me" made me laugh happily, it happened a long time ago. Well, I admit that I am very nasty, I laughed at the yellow jokes in it, maybe this is one of the resonances. Going back to the movie is actually very touching. Thinking about it, I know that I am suffering from cancer, and I am on the verge of death. What kind of philosophical meditation, the epiphany of life will also explode at that moment. Although I am not that philosophical, I have a sensitive side to normal human emotions. If I also had cancer, I was afraid that my friends and loved ones would abandon me. If it really happens, I will naturally have a kind of hatred, but they have their own lives after all, and they only blame themselves for not meeting the right person. Seth Rogen is in charge of the meat and jokes in it. During the movie, I gradually found that this friend is quite unreliable. I think about Sex all day long, and the director still makes people beautiful. When reading "Facing Cancer Together", this gentleman not only read it, but also marked it in the book, very seriously. At that moment, Adam felt relieved, and I was also relieved. Adam's girlfriend had abandoned him. If his friend also left, then life would be like cannon fodder in an instant. Does a friend or someone I love make me depend on and trust? No one can give a perfect answer to this. My answer is can I find the right person in my life? If you meet, it is really like what the priest said at the wedding, no matter whether you are born, old, sick or dead, rich or poor, you will stay together for a lifetime and never leave.

My attitude towards my relatives is very similar to Adam's. Adam's mother is a widowed old man, and her husband has dementia. Adam doesn't usually have much communication with his mother. Of course, Adam loves his mother. When Katherine said that Adam was an asshole, she thought that she was not an asshole. She never took the initiative to call home or chat with her mother. If my mother is old, and I am still like this, then I am an asshole. I understand that loneliness can erode people's hearts, and most old people can't escape. If she is really old, I will do it, let my mother know that I care about her and take care of her. People, you can only see what is worth cherishing when you are about to lose it.

Life and death are impermanent, I believe that there is destiny somewhere. When Adam knew that he was suffering from cancer, he still had doubts. He asked the doctor why he still got sick because he did not smoke, drink, or promiscuous, and had a healthy lifestyle. The doctor could only give a medical explanation. No one wants to face death in their beautiful years. Adam calmly fights against cancer. During the chemotherapy process, he met people who also suffer from cancer. The so-called common diseases and mutual pity, they also became good friends. When I visited Mitch's house as a guest, Adam saw that Mitch and his wife were still in love with each other and never gave up. At that moment, Adam seemed to be thinking about something, what? How do I know what others think, but I know what I think. I said that people always understand what is worth cherishing at the moment of loss, and what are people pursuing in their life? Wealth, when I really have it, I can imagine that it is not what I need the most. I need the process of getting it. After I have tasted the ups and downs, money becomes interesting. Even if I am destitute at the end, I still have no regrets. People are human because they have feelings. People need care and love. I want my parents to love me all my life. I hope to have a happy family. What more can I ask for? It is very easy to say this. After all, people can understand who they love and who loves them without a single step. At this moment, I will still be tempted by beauty, money, and status, and I am willing to fight for it, not for having it, but only for what I once had.

Life and death, gain, is a grand philosophical myth, but sitting in fantasy, it is better to experience life and death and experience gain. Sometimes I think that death is unpredictable, that no matter how hard one tries to avoid it, it will still come at an unexpected time. Adam explained to the doctor that he had a healthy life and could not get cancer, but the doctor answered Adam with probability, which obviously solved Adam's heart. Yes, life and death are impermanent, all I can grasp is the present moment. Living in the moment, one cannot sit down and enjoy a good afternoon. Maybe people will have fear in their hearts, afraid of taking a little rest, and the beauty of the future will be far away from themselves, but people forget that the rest at the moment is not beautiful? This is why modern people always think that making money is for a comfortable life, but it only stays on making money. I have absolutely no intention of teaching people to indulge their lust. The monk in "Flesh Pouf" said that life is true happiness. Wei Yangsheng leisurely said that romantic affairs are the greatest happiness. The ancients were obscure, but I said bluntly, Wei Yangsheng is nothing more than making love. Does happiness in life consist in satisfying human desires? In the end, Wei Yang was old and could not have sex with his wife all his life, but he was still happy, which obviously went against his original wish.

Going back to the film, since Adam's cancer, he has seen many different changes, people's sense of alienation, colleagues are concerned about Adam's condition, but it is no longer difficult to communicate deeply. Here, Adam really wants to escape from the Party that his colleagues held for him. Adam and Rachael's "love" is so fragile. The untrustworthiness of a friend and the death of a patient. From birth to death, it is a kind of bizarre process, if you can survive, it is absolutely wonderful. Adam successfully fought cancer, but to be honest, there is not the slightest struggle in the movie, and there is a half-half chance that God let Adam continue to live in the world. In the end, Adam was finally able to confidently trust his friends, and found a new girlfriend, even pretending to be shy at the end. I have to thank the director for still leaving hope for life and many humble lives.

But I still prefer Rogen's meat jokes (don't call me nasty).
