deep to the end of weightlessness,
dreams become true.
Two souls are combined, and one
wish is one.
A kiss burns life,
lightning is accompanied by thunder,
at this time the physical body is not my body,
I am in the center of the universe.
Children embrace, the
purest kiss,
only one thought.
You and I look at each other,
silently listening to the echoes, the
deep sea is deeper, the deeper the sea, the otherworldly
things, there is no
flesh and blood.
Although I am awake, I
don't want to survive,
but I beg my lips to be buried in my hair.
——Raymond Sampedro*
This poem by Raymond Sampedro was written with a pen held in his mouth. He used to be handsome, but at the age of 26, Raymond went to the beach to dive and fell into a paraplegic paraplegia.
Raymond has been lying in bed since then. For twenty-eight years, he did not have any complications, and he was sober, and he wrote such beautiful verses.
But Raymond couldn't move, and his limbs began to shrink.
Raymond, who was over half a hundred years old, had thinning and grey hair.
Raymond didn't want to live anymore. The only purpose of his life was to let himself die as soon as possible.
According to the popular saying, it is euthanasia.
What is euthanasia?
It was to pull the hospital bed angrily to the side, jump out of the window, and fly freely in the woods and on the sea; then, a fierce man plunged into the blue sea and watched his life replay before his eyes.
This was not made up by me, but by Amamba in "Deep Sea Sleep"-this melodious long shot, which shows euthanasia so many times, it is impressive.
This is a severely depressing movie. Telling about this movie is just like watching this movie. You need to take a deep breath, then lower your head, and dive deeper and deeper into the ocean of Amamba’s images. The deeper...
[Seriously, we are talking about suicide]
Unlike the Japanese "Complete Suicide Manual", "Deep Sea Sleeps" is not a horror film, but a thorough ethical literary film, so this is a very easy one The problem is metaphysical. Many philosophers have been serious-at least pretending to be serious-discussing this issue. Among them, Camus's phrase "there is only one serious problem: suicide" ("Sisyphus' Myth") is obviously the most popular.
The later Chinese philosopher Liu Xiaofeng further concluded: "The suicide of ordinary people is the final impact on the meaningless borders of the ambiguous world. Since life is meaningless, the active choice to die is meaningful, and its significance lies in maintaining a certain kind of survival after all. The value of faith.” ("Salvation and Ease")
. The most fundamental difference between humans and animals born out of the animal world is that-people will actively choose to die to reflect the value of life (or academic Summarize it as "human dying").
Raymond Sampedro thought so. He lives, but lives without dignity. Therefore, he read everything in the world, only to die.
The rebuttor can easily ask: So, what is dignity?
The answer is simple: Dignity is what you think is "dignity."
It is easy to infer from this logic-Raymond feels that he lives without dignity, then he lives without dignity.
Is the meaning of life really self-sufficient? Uncle Lei Feng once said: "People live for others." It seems that the highest realm of life should be to live for others.
But Raymond Sampedro does not have the level of consciousness of Uncle Lei Feng. In fact, they Europeans don’t really believe in others. Sartre also said that “others are hell”. From this point of view, Raymond fully listens to his heart. The understanding of life is also in line with the behavioral characteristics of Europeans.
In addition to the judicial system, Raymond first offended religious figures.
God was crucified and incarnate to save the world-of course Raymond De Sandro was among the rescued.
But you don't appreciate it?
So there were priests coming to enlighten the door.
Amamba is very wise, he also designed the priest to be a paraplegic like Raymond (or is there a prototype?).
The priest's recliner was too heavy to get into Raymond's room, so he had to send an assistant to pass back and forth to complete the debate between the priest and Raymond.
The priest was furious: "The freedom to contain life is not real freedom!"
Raymond dismissed: "The life that contains freedom is not real life!" The
priest was slumped.
The priest's little assistant was sweating profusely.
I have always been impressed by the sweaty little assistant. If there is a sequel to "Deep Sleep", this little assistant should be portrayed as the protagonist.
I firmly believe that he will become a volunteer calling for euthanasia.
In other words, the little assistant will become the Spanish version of "Encouragement Division".
Putting makeup on the deceased, and letting a person die with dignity through euthanasia-the two are essentially the same. Finally, the sister-in-law Manola rushed out and announced the priest's unpopularity.
The priest had to leave the house of San Pedro's house dingy.
[A person, a group of people, and a person living in a group of people]
Manola is a kind-hearted sister-in-law, and she has been taking care of Raymond with all her hard work.
Brother Jose, old father Zhu Kuien, and nephew Garvey are all taking care of Raymond silently.
Raymond Sampedro is such a happy person. They all say that "there is no filial son before the bed for a long time", but the people of San Pedro have never regarded Raymond as a burden.
The young and energetic Garvey occasionally lost his temper, and he was still scolded by all his elders.
The meticulous care of the family is the biggest source of tragedy in the film "Deep Sea Eternal Sleep".
In the eyes of many outsiders, Leimen squandered the love that others gave him---love that many outsiders wanted but couldn't get.
Love is flooding with Ramon Sanpedro.
Because many people admire Raymond, he is a celebrity.
The flood of visitors bothered Raymond, and when the single mother Rosa first arrived, Raymond was very unfriendly.
Later Rosa came again.
Later, Rosa told Raymond bluntly that he fell in love with him.
Rosa had an unfortunate marriage experience. Raymond’s writing and conversation conquered Rosa—according to Rosa, Raymond’s "incomparably pure eyes" conquered her.
I have to admit that this story is a bit bloody, but I accept it.
In comparison, the appearance of the female lawyer Julia is even more embarrassing.
Julia has a family genetic disease, she will slowly lose the ability to move, and then lose her memory.
It is still Julia who knows Raymond the best.
Julia fell, but Raymond couldn't help her.
Close to the horizon.
At that moment, Raymond strengthened his determination to die.
And Julia didn't want to die.
In any case, the two hearts are getting closer and closer.
Under the guide tube of Amamba, Raymond holy lusted the married woman Julia.
It was a pure erotic drama.
Julia was originally a lawyer who assisted Raymond, but her health was getting worse and worse, so she finally quit her job and devoted herself to the publication of Raymond's texts.
Raymond made up his mind to fight for the last time. He rarely went to the court to fight for his right to euthanasia.
Raymond, who couldn't move, smiled as he looked at the scene and personnel outside the car window.
Director Amamba's tune is also well-composed. The section where Raymond went out was the most cheerful section of the film's tune.
Of course, Javier Baden’s performance is also very good, from 26 to 54 years old, from a strong boy to a paralyzed old man, he also mimicked the Galician accent perfectly, with a Venetian silver lion. Not an exaggeration.
As long as the facial features can move, Baden's scenes are all on his face.
I can also say a witty remark from time to time.
Raymond finally came to the door of the court and found that the door was crowded with protesters-most of them came to protest euthanasia.
It can be seen that it is difficult to be a celebrity, and it is even more difficult to be a celebrity who wants to die.
If one wants to die, why do so many people scramble to speak?
Kennedy famously said: "Freedom is indivisible. As long as one person is enslaved, no one is free." To apply this phrase-life is also indivisible, as long as an innocent person can be killed by the law. , Then all innocent people may be allowed to be killed by the law.
Regardless of the clamor of liberalism in the West, the unspoken rules of its implementation are all communitarian.
The law is the master of this kind of community ethical protection.
Raymond is a person, but he has to face a group of people when he wants to die, because he is one of the people living in this group.
Raymond wanted to resort to judicial relief in desperation, but the judicial system would not help a person find death.
This has too much impact on the ethical rules of the entire ethnic group.
But Raymond really couldn't live anymore, Lao Tzu said: grief is more than a dead person, the greatest help is not to take care of him, but to make him perfect.
Raymond got in the car and went away, he told his nephew to be obedient.
The nephew did not answer. After closing the door, the nephew ran wildly with the car carrying Raymond.
Raymond finally came to Rosa's house, and the two stayed warm for a while-mainly to satisfy Rosa.
Rosa's youngest son fell asleep on Raymond's stomach.
Raymond shed tears of happiness and drank potassium hydride.
In reality, Raymond committed suicide by taking poison with the help of an unidentified person.
The police then arrested Raymond’s girlfriend, but in the following week, almost all residents of the town where Raymond lived “surrendered” and admitted to assisting Raymond in suicide. This incident caused a sensation across the world.
Raymond's collection of texts was published as "Letters from Hell", which shocked the director Amamba, and only then was the "Deep Sea Sleep" that we saw.
The title of the film also comes from a poem by Raymond (that is, the title of this essay).
At the end of the film, Julia did not go to death. The visitor came and left a picture of Raymond.
Julia stared straight ahead in a daze-she had lost her memory.
Beside Julia, is the blue sea.
[I just want to die sexy]
Regardless of whether we watch movies or not, there are actually some problems we have been facing in our lives.
For example, as soon as we are born, we presuppose an unavoidable end point: death.
Mr. Lu Xun once wrote a story: a family gave birth to a boy, and he took it out to show the guests. Those who said that the child would make a fortune in the future were rewarded, while those who said "This child will die in the future" were beaten together. ("Liu Lun")
Only God knows whether the words of those who are rewarded will be fulfilled; those who are beaten speak eternal truths that are unbreakable.
It can be seen that we Chinese have always kept talking about life and death.
Zidu once said: Unknown life, how can you know death?
There is also the survival philosophy of "It is better to die than to live". Therefore, most Chinese people pretend not to know that they will die.
So, in a country where life and death are secretive, will anyone care about you when discussing life and death issues with others?
This kind of discussion has turned into a completely privatized event that has nothing to do with ethnic groups.
What about death itself?
Is death really a very personal matter?
Yeah?
Isn't it?
Hehe, I'm just studying and researching with you, why are you so serious.
No matter what others think, anyway, if I have the opportunity-I mean "if"-have the opportunity to choose my own way, I will definitely choose a sexy way, not like Raymond Sampedro. Swallowing potassium hydride solution, won't it burn too much?
Anyway, I just want to die sexy.
My posture of death should be like a group, diving into the depths of the sea in a mellow way.
If you happen to remember me, then quickly think about it and forget me.
Then build a house by the sea like Julia.
I slept in the deep sea.
You are sitting in the house, facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming.
At that moment, it was the realm of Sister Faye Wong's "Don't Stay": "I would rather leave nothing, and have no worries."
Only after death came, did my brother truly become a legend.

MAR ADENTRO
Mar adentro, mar adentro,
y en la ingravidez del fondo
donde se cumplen los suenos,
se juntan dos voluntades
para cumplir un deseo.
Un beso enciende la vida
con un relmpago y un trueno,
y en una metamorfosis
mi cuerpo no es ya mi cuerpo;
es como penetrar al centro del universo:
El abrazo ms pueril,
y el ms puro de los besos,
hasta vernos reducidos
en un nico deseo:
Tu mirada y mi
mirada como un eco repitiendo, sin palabras:
ms adentro, ms adentro,
hasta el ms all del todo
por la sangre y por los huesos.
Pero me despierto siempre
y siempre quiero estar muerto
para seguir con mi boca
enredada en tus cabellos.
