When I was a child, I watched "Blade 1937" and was deeply impressed by a line of the thimble -
After a serious illness in life, it is like being born again, and it is not clear whether I have changed or the world has changed.
Sick people seem to be displaced.
Trying to return to the life of a normal person, but being dragged by a body that should be healthy, unable to eat, unable to walk, unable to listen, all listless.
Today's heroine has the common name Emily, but has an unusual encounter with a flower girl.
Emily, who is good-looking, sweet-sounding, and has an open personality, did not expect that her concept of love would be completely changed by a satin before a one-night stand with a Pakistani guy.
Nor did she understand that love can be sweet and vigorous, or it can be bitter.
After learning that her boyfriend took turns kissing other girls behind her back, the bitter water of love instantly spread to the whole body, and Emily was violent: a small inflammation in the chest cavity developed into an infection, and the fever continued; the virus that had been standing up spread to the lungs, and her life was in danger.
Doctors had to have Emily "let out" for surgery.
Emily's eyes closed were a month.
During the month, the boy was always accompanied by the sickbed, and he even interrupted his work to fight with his family.
Only because he was ashamed of Emily.
The boy's name is Kumar, an official post drama actor.
This year, the drama was basically not watched, so Kumeir transformed into a satin hand, giving the audience a talk show to tease the audience.
During a stage performance, Kumar met Emily, and after a night of infatuation, the two quickly established a romantic relationship, bouncing and playing.
But Kumeir, who came from a Muslim family, has always been bound by strict tutoring, and in the eyes of his parents, drama actors are basically equivalent to doing nothing, and civil servants and doctors are their serious professions.
Therefore, every time the family dinner, Kumar will be urged by his mother: when to get a lawyer's license?
Kumar is openly obedient, but secretly still pursues the drama he loves.
At the age of marriage, everything had to be done according to the wishes of the parents: find a native Pakistani woman.
It can be figured out with toes, and Kumar won't agree.
As a result, roundabout battles, encounters, and guerrilla warfare took turns, and Kumeir secretly interacted with Emily under the pressure of "insulting door style". Of course, for those blind dates who were playing on the scene, Kumar did not talk to Emily, until he was grabbed by Emily, and he realized that the basket was so big.
Emily felt that this was a betrayal, and Kumeier believed that the essence of concealment was protection, although the boy threw the pot to the "parents to do", but the style of cutting first and playing later really annoyed the girl.
The bickering finally escalated into a quarrel, and Emily quickly turned one thing into several pieces, the humiliation turned into inferiority and anger, and used the characteristic sensitivity of a woman to give Kumeier the hat of a scumbag; while Kumar thought that he was too tired to fight with the cultural traditions of 1400 years and could not lose his family.
The result, of course, was a breakup.
The story returns to the beginning of the article, Emily is seriously ill and hospitalized, and Kumar is inseparable.
This is the main story of the movie "Serious Illness", a story of An Asian boy and a U.S. imperialist girl from love to tearing each other apart, Chinese the translated name may be more appropriate: "Love Coma".
The heroine, Zoe Kazan, must believe that fans of love must like her.
A "Man in the Book of Love", teaching Di Si how to cultivate a correct view of love, a "World in Your Eyes" tells the world how wonderful love is, and her screen character is usually the perfect girlfriend.
Returning to the story of "The Great Sickness", although there are not many ups and downs, it conveys a point:
Failed feelings make people depressed, depression will bring pain to the body, the will to be tormented by pain is gradually depressed, and people will become more and more lost.
Therefore, people who are seriously ill are actually the loneliest, on the one hand, the pain of the body is not understood, and on the other hand, the depressed will is not comforted.
This is reminiscent of a hot topic in the last two days: girls shaving their heads for sick girlfriends.
Compared to "leukemia girlfriend abandoned by her prospective husband", this story seems so warm and affectionate. In the rush of life, a sentence "I want to accompany you all the way" can be spoken, and it has been courageous and commendable.
"The Great Illness" is based on a true story, and it is interesting that the real-life Kumeier just happened to play himself in the film, and the other screenwriter of this film happens to be The real-life Kumar's wife Emily.
The most interesting thing is that the day of the release of the film coincided with the tenth anniversary of the marriage of the two.
This is simply the most romantic gift that Bowl Brother can think of.
If the movie only stays at the level of young boys and girls falling in love, it doesn't seem to be very interesting.
The collision of ideologies is another issue of "The Great Disease".
As a Pakistani-American, yellow-skinned, dark-eyed man, he is often asked how to evaluate 9/11. Although he grew up in Chicago, WITH the cold humor and way of thinking of Westerners, Kumar has never been able to get rid of the shadow that "Islam" has brought to him. Just like humans face animals, no matter how docile the other party behaves, human defense consciousness is always in the middle of the two, because aggression is an animal instinct. Therefore, in this face-watching world, it is basically impossible for Kumeir to fully integrate into Western culture.
The profession of the duan zi hand is a sign of rebellion and complaining, often facing the old customs represented by his parents, and he even left his relatives at the end of the film. In a small detail in the film, the brother suggests that Kumeier grow a beard, thinking that it looks more manly, but Kumar resolutely refuses, his ostensible reason is uncomfortable, but he wants to maintain a relaxed and innocent child's heart, refuses to enter the adult world, and refuses to compromise with the old customs.
It has to be mentioned that Emily's parents, despite being supporting characters, are very brilliant in the movie.
At the first meeting, her father faced the stranger and was silent.
His mother held a grudge against Kumar and wanted to shovel him out of the hospital.
Despite eating the closed door, Kumar, who is driven by love, is not discouraged, emily's father sees his sincerity, acquiesces to his existence, and takes the initiative to invite him to join, eat with him, and take him home.
And the mother, also releasing vulnerability, open her heart.
Kumeier performs in the theater and is humiliated by the audience, and Emily's mother, angry with him, rushes up and fights with people, like a lioness protecting her cubs.
The fight was not in vain, the three became friends completely, and Kumeier also entered their lives.
If it is a work on a regular assembly line, a secondary functional figure such as a parent is enough to go through a series of scenes. But "Big Sick" did not do this, the three-dimensional and multi-faceted characters made the story real, and what was really brought to the audience was cuteness.
The whole story, all the characters, no pretentious laughs, no deliberate cuteness.
Writing about cultural differences and intergenerational conflicts in this way does not see earth-shattering collisions and quarrels, but it is more grounded.
Embarrassingly, Emily woke up to learn that Kumar had been waiting, and instead of thanking him, she insisted on asking him to leave.
Like the survivors who have experienced nine deaths and re-faced the world, Emily does not want to experience any more pain, and this rejection is actually an instinct.
Of course, they eventually came together, otherwise the film would not have been born.
So how did they break the mirror and reunite? Friends go to the movie to find the answer!
