This is an extremely gentle film, telling a gentle story in the most gentle way of narration:
Bucket list
Carter, a repairman living at the bottom, has a great passion for life, and has a happy family despite his poverty
Edward, a top diamond king, as the CEO of a medical institution, he spent so much money that he only left three failed marriages.
One is the 'white elite' who holds power high above, and the other is the 'black uncle' who is struggling to feed himself. Two people with very different life trajectories, but because of the torment of cancer and illness, miraculously met.
Edward continued to play the role of an outstanding elderly entrepreneur in public in order to manifest his lofty concept of 'equality of all beings', the noble idea.
In front of the media, they are promoting their own hospitals, double wards, and flaunting the special business philosophy that no one can engage in. This also became the decisive condition for the old brothers to meet.
So, ever since he entered the hospital, Edward began to complain wildly, and he would not allow himself to share a ward with a black brother.
The two people who are also cancer patients have lived in the same ward for several months, and through continuous exchange of diseases, they have gradually become inseparable good friends from the initial strangers.
On this day, the doctor came in and told them that their limit was approaching, so that night, Carter took out a note and neatly wrote down what he had always wanted to do, but was suffering from reality and had not completed.
Early the next morning, the note was discovered by Edward, and the brothers sighed for a while, feeling that there were not many days to go, so they hit it off and decided to start their journey.
Carter's wife is a nurse who has worked for decades. She thought carter had given up her life so lightly in pursuit of those ethereal dreams that she couldn't bear it. Whether as a nurse or a relative, she firmly opposed it and rushed out of the door in a fit of rage.
Carter and Edward ignored her thoughts, and the brothers began their final journey.
Skydiving, racing, galloping on the African savannah, traveling on the Great Wall, sitting at the tip of the pyramid to lament miracles, and exploring the understanding of life in Angkor Wat. During the trip, the relationship between the two went further and they gained a deeper understanding of their respective families.
At this time, Carter learned that Edward also had a daughter who had severed a relationship, and did not hesitate to add the drama of the reunion of father and daughter to the list.
While in Hong Kong, Edward assigned Carter a special task on his list: commonly known as the Great Sword.
Carter was communicating with strange women, and his eyes lit up when he heard the magnificent starry sky of the Himalayas. In fact, the two of them, regrettably missed the idea of reaching the summit because the Himalayas were closed by heavy snow. When the woman expressed her admiration for Carter, Carter realized that he had been away from home for too long, and his lover was the one who really loved him in the world.
So they made the decision to go home.
Seeing that his life was coming to an end, Carter decided to fulfill his last wish: to help Edward find his beloved daughter.
Edward was extremely afraid of loneliness, afraid of his daughter once again speaking ill of him, and this fear was expressed in the form of anger.
He said: I knocked on the door, she opened the door, she was first surprised to see me, then angry, I want to tell her how much I miss her, just because I am afraid of dying alone?
In the end, they still broke up.
Carter found himself in a warm and harmonious family and spent his last days.
Edward stood alone in the mansion and continued to act as the cold president.
Eventually, Carter died before him, and Edward helped with the aftermath and crossed out one of the items on his list: helping a stranger.
He eventually found his daughter, perhaps because he finally realized his loneliness, or perhaps carter's family gave him a little courage to pursue happiness. At his daughter's house, he met his granddaughter, whom he had never met, and affection was a force engraved in the depths of his veins, and with this power, he kissed the most beautiful girl in the world.
At the end of the story, Edward's assistant buries the ashes of both of them at the summit of the Himalayas,
Completed the only remaining will on the list.
It's a very simple story, warm and relaxed.
At first glance, at the end of your life, you are pursuing the unfinished dreams in your heart. The film seems to reveal everywhere a kind of bold words: 'Life must be full of joy, do not make the golden bottle empty to the moon'.
And the film explains the meaning of life, as stated at the beginning:
It's difficult to understand the sum of a person's life.
Some people will tell you it's measured by the ones left behind.
Some people think it depends on his faith. Some believe it can be measured in faith.
Some people say that love is used to evaluate. Some say by love.
Others say that life has no meaning at all. Other folks say life has no meaning at all.
I believe that you measure youself
See the meaning of your own life. by the people who measured themselves by you.
And what I'm sure of is that no matter how you measure What I can tell you for sure is that, by any measure.
Edward. Edward cole lived more in his last days on earth.
More fulfilling than most people manage to wring out of a lifetime.
I know when he died his eyes were closed I know that when he died, his eyes were closed
.
His heart was open
As the classic line from Interstellar:
Rich or poor, no matter the length and breadth of life, love everyone you should love.
Finally, fear life, believe in life, and love life.
