tearjerker director

Chapter 1482 He closed his eyes, but opened his heart.

"The Bucket List" has begun showing limited screenings in some regions.

But word of mouth has begun to ferment.

Although this is not a commercial blockbuster, it still stars two veteran actors, so it still attracts many people to watch the movie.

Reviews are almost unanimously positive.

"During Carter's narration at the end of the movie, Cole came to his daughter's house, leaned over and kissed his beautiful granddaughter, and then crossed out "Kiss the most beautiful girl in the world." I started crying and kept crying until the end of the movie. It was so heartwarming. This story seems to be far away from me, I am still very young, but why was I moved like this?"

"You laughed two-thirds of the time and started to cry at the end. You kissed the most beautiful girl in the world, and your story became the most beautiful legend that others have ever seen."

"Getting better, goes straight to the soul. Old Carter's question: "Have you ever had joy in your life? So have you brought happiness to others in your life? "Edward's experience: "If you want to pee, don't give in. If you're hard, do it quickly. Be careful when you fart! "Two lovely old men!"

"The same old guy, after watching the movie, couldn't help but go back and take out pen and paper, trying to learn how to write down a bucket list, but suddenly he realized that I had no money to do anything!"

"At that moment, he closed his eyes but opened his heart."

"Being aware of the limits of life too early is a blessing or a curse. People are all suffering the consequences of their own ignorant greed, either squandering time or feeling sorry for themselves. It is a very suitable movie to watch on the plane, and the mood is... Along with the turbulence of the plane, follow Edward's footsteps and travel around the world. Watching and practicing merge into one place, which makes people comfortable and makes people cry."

"Perhaps people only begin to truly live when they know that they will die soon!"

"The plot is like a fairy tale. Not everyone can meet a rich man. The drama between the two movie stars is quite enjoyable. The story is beautiful and touching. For most people, they may not want to wait until they are about to die to think about it. There is nothing I haven’t done in my life, but it’s often forced by life, how small my ideals are in the face of cruel reality. Of course, movies are just movies, fairy tales are just fairy tales, and I have to go to work tomorrow, damn it!”

""Edward took Carter to experience the breadth of life, and Carter took Edward to experience the depth of life. "

A very beautiful movie. I never think death is terrible. In my mind, death is a beautiful thing. I even love death, because I love life, and I don't see that as a conflict.

If my life has meaning, then death will be the perfect ending. Rather than suffering from treatment and waiting for death, it is better to enjoy the last life and then greet death calmly. The final scene of being buried on a snowy mountain was so nice. They are all my favorite coffee cans, and the two cans are placed together. I can even imagine them, behind them, in the coffee cans, getting up early and bickering every day, bickering at noon, and watching the beautiful scenery at night ~ This assistant is really capable, he really understands these two old men. In the end, they even put their ashes on the snowy mountain to praise the assistant. Life is so good. I hope that I can be like them, achieve something, live a brilliant life, and finally bring my own life to an end smoothly. "

"I don't want to meet a rich man to take me to play hard when I'm about to die. I hope this rich man comes now..."

And film critics also carefully craft their reviews.

Larry Person, once the number one film critic in Hollywood, wrote in his personal column:

"People's lives are often mixed with many regrets, and there are many things that need to be done in life. But if life reaches the last moment, what regrets do you have and what things need to be done urgently? Do we need a list? We Call this list, bucket list.

After watching the movie with a group of old guys in the cinema, we had even planned to write a list when we got back. Of course, we couldn't be as luxurious as in the movie. After all, we are not Edward!

Back to the movie itself!

Two old men were admitted to the same ward in the same hospital by accident.

One is a rich man and the other is an automobile worker. They are so different. The rich man has money, but the car worker does not. The car worker has relatives, but the rich man does not.

But the same thing is that they knew their death date on the same day, and they also didn't have much time to live.

The car worker made a bucket list for himself. Although they were all illusory metaphors, such as helping a stranger, seeing unparalleled beautiful scenery, etc., the rich man realized that this was a good idea, so they set out together to go Do the things on your list that you haven't done yet but want to do before you die. They skydived, raced cars, and traveled all over the world. When they came back, one became more like a husband and the other became more like a father. Fortunately, the list was completed at the end of their lives, so their lives ended happily.

Two old men, two styles, but they work together harmoniously. Edward looks like a naughty boy, suddenly hysterical, with a permanently evil expression on his face. Carter is still the same profound image, full of knowledge, calm and wise. As a result of the two people's drama, no one defeated the other, because this kind of role seemed too familiar to them. It was very simple and authentic, so it was very brilliant.

However, the film is not just as simple as two movie stars pulling in box office, it has been trying to find the meaning of life, although it does not say it explicitly. The two old men talked a lot while completing the list, and these conversations inadvertently touched on the meaning of life.

First, about faith. Carter is a man of faith. He is very pious. He has the same faith as 95% of people. But the rich man Edward does not. He said that if I pray to the sky, God will not take away my disease, so he does not believe it. Supernatural powers, so he has no faith. Because of his faith, the car worker has always been loyal to his wife and his family. Because he does not believe in any fetters, the rich man gained his current wealth from scratch.

Of course, the film does not tell people whether they need faith to live, but seems to say that people should stick to what they believe in. People with faith believe in faith, and people without faith believe that other people's faith is bullshit. In any case, they can have the meaning of their own lives.

But the film also raises two questions. Legend has it that when the soul sees God, the old man will ask two questions, have you ever been happy in your life? Have you ever brought happiness to others in your life? It seems that this is the main theme of the film. He wants to tell us that the meaning of life is that you get happiness in life, which of course includes many things. Happiness also refers to what you think is happiness, and it also lies in making others happy. This is why the bucket list is No. Nijo means helping a stranger. You don't have to wait until you die, you might as well ask yourself now. If the answer is yes, continue, if the answer is no, then think of something.

Before the film, Dean Films produced a documentary. Through a questionnaire survey, 1000% of 96 people did not want to know the date of their death. Although everyone has different attitudes towards death, their fears are more or less similar. Often, death reflects the meaning of life. It is inevitable that we will experience many deaths in our lives, whether of relatives or others. Through these deaths we experience, we see the preciousness and value of life.

When we see the state in which a person dies, we know the state in which he should live. The film shows us the death of two old men and how they died, and after watching it, you need to know how we should live. Fortunately, we still have time. We cannot and should not realize the meaning of life until we are facing death, only to discover that we have not done many things and have done many wrong things. In that case, it will be too late and we will lose money. .

Of course, it is impossible to expect a movie or an event to present the true meaning of life. The meaning of life is grand and needs to be understood with heart, and it may not be possible to realize it. But no matter what, give yourself happiness, give happiness to others, and then you can proudly tell God. Finally, we can’t help but want to ask, if you only have the last 100 days left in your life, what would be your answer to this question? Make a list of things you want to achieve before you die. What do you want to do? Accompanying whom? What kind of wish comes true?

When we go through life and return to the dust, some people say that the past is like smoke and goes with the wind. The things we have loved, missed, laughed, cried, grieved, thought about, did and experienced. , what is the meaning and value of all people and things that have happened! Life is so precious, and every moment that goes by and never comes back makes people feel infinitely emotional! !

"A person's life may be seventy years old, or if he is strong, he may be eighty years old, but all he boasts about is toil and sorrow, and in the blink of an eye, it is all gone, and we fly away."

We need enlightenment to understand how to live our lives so that we can live up to our lives and live a happy and satisfying life.

Yes, people will always explore the value of life, but this problem is too big. Many philosophers and theologians in ancient and modern times have been thinking about this big question. Is there a god? who I am? what is the meaning of life? What kind of life do I want? Who have I really loved? Who has really loved me? Do I glorify God and benefit others, and gain true glory, joy, and satisfaction without regrets? Have I put in equal effort to do this? Down-to-earth and crazy about realizing your dreams?

What is your dream? There are many wishes in everyone's heart, and for me, I hope that I can live the best version of myself in my heart. I hope to meet someone who is worthy of being cherished in my heart and loved with all my heart. I hope that my life will be sincere. , kind, brave, hard-working, warm and grateful.

Therefore, cherishing the present may be the real theme of this movie! "

There are also film critics who have written very interesting reviews.

"Carter is really a lucky old man! At least I am not that lucky. Like Carter, I am not a rich man. After watching the movie, I went back and made a bucket list. I also want to complete the things I once did in a leisurely way. desire!

However, I was thinking about how to make my bucket list with my family.

Then I thought, Carter was right, he was right not to tell Virginia what he was going to do!

Because you can never imagine that when my family members are discussing how to make my bucket list, it is a feeling that is hard to describe.

I wanted to go racing, but my wife decided against it. She said that I still had time, but if I wanted to go racing, I might not have time.

I wanted to go bungee jumping, and then my daughter said that this kind of sport is forbidden to the elderly, unless they are rich like Edward, and we fell into it not! So it was crossed out again!

I wanted to see the Aurora, but my son said that it was too cold and too far there. He said that because of my physical condition, I would probably be sent to the emergency room on the way. Then I deleted this item.

Of course, I still want to date the girl I once liked, but I dare not say it, because I believe everyone knows!

So, in the end, my bucket list is gone, because I really can’t think of any wish that can satisfy everyone. But if it satisfies them, is it still my wish?

For that reason, The Bucket List is a pretty crappy movie! "

What Li Yi and Dean Pictures didn't expect was that a movie like "The Bucket List" could actually affect reality, and even cause trouble.

There is news that the former famous old film critic Tyler Stephen was sent to the emergency room in the middle of the night. The reason was that he was old and healthy at the time and called three call girls.

As a result, after the old film critic woke up in the hospital, he said that he was just fulfilling the last wish on his bucket list.

He said that he had followed the rules in his life and had never done anything out of the ordinary, so after reading "The Bucket List", he put it into practice that night. However, he did not expect that it was still too late, and he had more than enough intention but not enough energy!

While this news makes people laugh and cry, it also adds a bit of buzz to the "Bucket List" topic.

However this is not an isolated case.

Soon another interesting thing happened.

Four old men formed a group to complete the so-called bucket list, and they also posted their own bucket lists.

It suddenly became headline news, mainly because of these old men, one of whom was really a big boss.

And a lot of the contents on the list are actually very similar to those in the "Bucket List".

For example, have breakfast in Paris, go to Hong Kong Island for lunch, take a short trip to the Great Wall to ride a motorcycle, skydive, race a car, fly to the Pyramids and the Taj Mahal

Of course, the main reason is that a billionaire attracts attention, making netizens say that being rich means being awesome!

This also gave "The Bucket List" a bigger topic and gimmick, and Dean Films was naturally happy to use its resources to promote this news.

Li Yi could only say that Lao Mei is really good at playing.

To be honest, even if content like "Bucket List" is released in China, some people may imitate it, but most of them will imitate and make a bucket list and then complete it.

They will never call three call girls at a time like the old men in the United States do, or fly around the world inhumanely.

It can only be said that poverty limits imagination!
