This is the most touching classic line from the movie "Knocking on the Door of Heaven" directed by George Thomas, let people always enter the endless sighs, life is short, and how many things do they like and do?
If your life is coming to an end, what do you want to do? This '97 German version of the bucket list gives a cheesy and romantic answer: look at the sea. The film as a whole is cheerful and cheerful, with a rhythm characteristic of the nineties---- two first-time patient friends, a walk-and-go trip, a flying windfall, a pink Rolls-Royce, and a gangster and police bullet-stud with no casualties is all about this comedy.
Two terminally ill patients become best friends, and "seeing the sea" has become the ultimate goal of their lives. After a drunken encounter, they got into a Mercedes car in a confused manner, and trouble followed. Because the car is full of bills, the police want to arrest them, the killer must hunt them down, and the natural end of the two lives is approaching moment by moment... However, "no one can stop us from seeing the sea".
"Now, the story of the sea is popular in heaven, the sea is wide and the sky is endless, the sunset, melting in the sea, ten thousand rays of light, dyeing the sea a golden yellow, and then the sea slowly, melting the sun all away, leaving only the flame in the heart ... But you can't put your mouth shut at all. ”
To tell the truth, the subject of terminal illness always touches me, especially at a prosperous age, thinking that my life has just begun, but it is coming to an end. I remember watching a similar theme "The Coolest Day" before, the story is very similar, but in terms of style, I prefer this one, the gangster story interspersed with it, there is a little Quentin feeling. Finally, I got one more bucket list and brought a bottle of wine to see the sea.
But this does not affect his classics, the real sublimation is the end of the two deserted and fleeing patients, stumbling to the beach, calmly waiting for death. There should be music here: "don't cry", in fact, it is difficult for anyone to face death and dreams, but Martin and Rudy did it: robbing the bank, buying a luxury car, sleeping with several beautiful women... No different from everyone else. But when life comes to an end, what is going on in their hearts? Maybe it's waiting for the sunset to sink into the sea, trying to knock on the door of heaven... Comedy should be perfect: fall under dreams, live in temperament.
Although it is a comedy, as the saying goes, "The truth is said in a joking way." Similarly, the cruelty of reality and the truth, goodness and ugliness of human nature are also more easily accepted by the majority of audiences through comedy, and easily and happily integrated into the movie.
