It’s very meaningful to review the movie " Bucket List" in a special period. It seems that everyone does not deliberately avoid the topic of "death". To be honest, this topic feels very heavy. The farther away we are, the better. Now, there is a very special situation. When reviewing this movie, it is obviously no longer heavy, but with a smile and tears, it is so touching that I have to hide my face and contemplate.
A philosopher is a "torturer". When nothing happens, he always asks you some so-called "philosophical questions", which makes you superfluous to think and think, but I don’t know if you have it. I have seriously thought that if a person does not think at the level of "philosophical thinking", I am afraid that he has no "soul" and no "nobleness". He may never reach the "spiritual level" of a person.
The movie story tells: two patients suffering from cancer, one is a rich man, a very rich Cole, the other is a poor man, the car mechanic Carter, because of a coincidence of fate arranged to live in the same ward and be a doctor After being informed of their dying deadline, the two people remembered their last wish, so they drafted a "bucket list" together to fulfill their wish for life and give themselves a fulfillment.
Therefore, the film tells us in the prologue: It is difficult to understand the value of life. Some people say that it is measured by his contribution to the world, and some people think that it is determined by his belief, and it can also be love. Of course, there are still people who think that life is meaningless, which is completely measured by your self in the hearts of others.
A philosopher once asked a question at the dinner table, saying: "If your life is completed by three points, you already have the point of birth, and now tell you that you will sue others at the point of 70 years old, you Think you have been there between these two points? You are biased towards the 70-year-old point. You have more or not much time left. Do you have any plans? If, every time you have a meal, you will be asked to think about it. , You will find that there is a lot less nonsense on the dinner table, and I don’t want to eat unnecessary dinners in the future.
2. The film is a well-deserved three-act drama with a very complete three-act structure with a prologue. , And the last three acts have a structured plot, the question is answered at the end, and the epilogue is added, and the plots of one act are strictly allocated according to time.The beginning and the prologue account for one-third of the time of the whole play, and the main part accounts for two-quarters of the whole play. In addition, one-fourth is the end and the epilogue. From the perspective of artistic treatment, it shows that life is well-regulated and complete. Rather, the better point is that the author does not use tragedy to create, but uses comedy. Mr. Lu Xun once said: Comedy is to tear the worthless things to others. Valuable or worthless, the most important thing is to let us understand through watching. Among them, the film does not have any artistic dazzling element, it looks plain and flat, even the comic exaggeration, satire, or humorous, humorous is just superficial, and the clear water comes out of hibiscus, naturally.
Well, we saw a few problems in the first act:
1. The doctor told Cole that Carter still has six months, and if he is lucky, he still has a year.
2. If people do not have principles, everything will be messed up.
3. Do you know Luwaka Coffee.
These are not very similar questions. The really interesting film attracts us to watch. It is the main theme of the "perfect narrative", which is the bucket list of two people. Can the two patients accomplish this feat? In the twenty-eighth minute, when you close the door of the first act and open the door of the second act, let you continue watching with the question "how did they accomplish this feat?" and how the story solves the problem.
The video went on to say that someone has done such a statistic, do you want to know the date of your death? Ninety-six percent of people once did not want to know, and 4% of people wanted to know. Carter tended to be the 4%. After the doctor informed him of his situation, Carter discovered that he was not so free and easy, and his mood was abnormally heavy.
The film used a small bridge segment to enter the third act: a new day begins, the curtains are opened, the sun is shining, and it also shines into the ward, and the waste paper that Carter discards reveals the real bucket list.
They went to Africa, where is the origin and symbol of life, they went to Egypt, where there is a beautiful legend about death, they came to the Great Wall of China, where they yearned for the legend of mankind, they went to Tibet, where to believe The reincarnation of the world. Confucius said: "You don't know how to live, you know how to die," doesn't it mean to tell us: "Most people still don't know the truth of life, how can they know what death is all about".As Carter said to the family epiphany: "I feel I am a lucky person." People's return to their hearts, the innocence they seek in their hearts, may be the release of their souls.
The film enters the third act on time. At the seventy-fifth minute, it shows the conflict between Carter and Cole and brings us to the end. The reason is that Carter arranged the first thing to return to the United States without authorization. It turned out to be forcing Cole to visit his daughter. When answering the question, the film compares the two families of Cole and Carter to make the audience wonder: what is family, what is family joy, what is loneliness, what is joy, what do we need? Cole's joy at seeing his daughter, the most beautiful woman he kissed.
Think about it, the film also uses Luwaka coffee cleverly, making a comparison. When Carter tells Corluwaka coffee about it, you will immediately come to an epiphany. It turns out that life is also very interesting, like Lu Waka Coffee, he may not be anything in one world, but he may be very noble in a new world. Although we can't understand how to measure a person's life, when he closes his eyes, his heart is open to the world infinitely. Isn't it what we are looking for? Don't forget the end of the film, he told us: Cole must be very satisfied to arrange him on the mountain, because it is illegal. In fact, the film wants to tell us two meanings: one is that you must fulfill your last wish, and the other is, don’t tangle. Cole once said: "When he makes a mistake, he wins."
If, you After watching this movie, I have one more wish. I think I should choose a few movies that I must watch in my life. Then, I suggest you count this movie as one.
