After reading it, I just smiled and didn't have too many impressions. I think it's a little flatter.
After a few days, occasionally thinking about it seems to be able to understand the dullness. At the same time, I started to like this movie.
In my impression, the male protagonist has only one real emotional catharsis in the whole film. He is sitting in the car, roaring, shaking his hands vigorously, trying to use all his strength to get rid of that pain, that Fear, that helplessness. And for the rest of the film, he's "very good." He smiled lightly, he shaved his hair, he could still joke with K, even in the face of emotional betrayal, he just said "Get out of my world." I suddenly thought of a sentence, "I don't cry, I don't cry. Being troubled doesn’t mean I don’t feel pain.” Faced with the reality of having cancer, it is a normal choice to keep crying until all energy is exhausted or to be silent, depressed to the point of being so depressed, and the film presents, But it was flat. Indeed, what is before us is a more real life. Unless you choose to die, life will still be like this day by day, whether you have cancer or not.
That's what I think the movie stands out most about, it's flat because it's real. He was sitting on the sofa, he was lying on the bed, he picked up the phone, he looked at K, and he wept silently. He has basic emotions, he will be happy, worried, and even more sad. And the most gratifying, and also the most convincing part of the actor, is that he has never forgotten "how to use all his courage to live every day well".
Not everyone has cancer, and not everyone can be cured of cancer. I'd say it's more of a setback that everyone goes through, big and small. We often use gray to describe a bad mood and an embarrassing situation. We also often hope that the gray will pass quickly. That gray, no matter how long or short, will always pass, or fade away. So we often tell ourselves and the people around us, "Everything will be fine." But it's hard to say exactly how. And the film tells us that this is how it came. Indifferent, there is catharsis, there is anxiety, there is joy, the accumulation of all kinds of emotions, little by little, get over it.
This process is mixed, and no one can help you. There is only one belief, "Brave, live every day well."
I think of a dialogue in a Taiwanese movie that impressed me, meaning that every day in this world is different, so every day is new. And human beings have never been afraid to wake up every morning and open their eyes to this new world. So, we are brave, but sometimes we forget.
In other words, this is a manifestation of human instinct. Thank you for this film for presenting us with such blandness, authenticity and bravery.
