If Death were to dine with you, would you be like a needle in a haystack? If death were with you, would you be as usual? If there were countless countdowns left in life, how would you spend it? These seem to be unsolvable problems, and in "The Sixth Sense of Life and Death", these problems must be faced.
Media tycoon William's birthday is approaching, the eldest daughter is leading the preparations for the birthday party, a mysterious young man, suddenly appeared in William's house out of thin air, he did not want to believe it, but the sixth sense clearly told him that the young man was the god of death, and he would be taken away on his birthday.
Death asks William to be his human guide and experience the joys and sorrows of the world, starting from dinner with william's family, William frankly accepts the result of death's coming, but he does not want his family to know, so he and Death keep this secret together.
William has two daughters, the eldest daughter is his right-hand man, and the eldest son-in-law helps his father run the company. She always felt that the father loved the little daughter more, the little daughter was a doctor, this day, the little daughter Susan passed a café on the way to work, and a blonde young man Joe met by chance, the two talked, left a very good impression on each other, two young people who were affectionate with each other, said goodbye at the door of the café, the most beautiful miss in history happened like this, Joe and Susan were reluctant to turn back three times, but the time was not calibrated, they saw each other's back three times, not a second earlier or a second later, just in the right place, How wonderful it was to meet at the right time, Joe and Susan had no such luck, and they missed each other perfectly in the second look back.
At dinner, Susan comes home, but finds Joe in his own house, but he doesn't seem to know her, she is very strange, Death has a good feeling for Susan, he also goes to the hospital where she works to visit her, Susan also finds herself in love with Death, although she knows that he is not a blonde young man in the coffee shop, the Death who fell in love intends to take Susan away, William found all this, he roared at Death, saying that he was an untrustworthy bastard, and said that he could only take him away, not about anyone else. This was the first time William became angry after learning of the arrival of death, and for the sake of his daughter, he did not hesitate to offend the towering god of death, William said: Love is trust, responsibility, commitment and keeping vows. Most importantly: don't hurt your loved ones.
At the birthday party, William said that he had no regrets, he said goodbye to his relatives and friends without a trace, calmly walked to the god of death, the god of death tasted the sweetness and sadness of love, kissed Susan for the last time, with tears in his eyes lonely looking at the fireworks and rolling red dust in the night sky, could not bear to say goodbye, this is life, both happy and sad, thought to get, but began to lose, it is really indescribable. At the end of the human journey, Death kept his promise and sent back Joe, the young man in the coffee shop he possessed, and when Susan met him again, they were all stunned, Joe said that we went with the flow, and they walked hand in hand to the fireworks of the world.
The role of death in the movie is Brad Pitt, the film was filmed in 1997, when it was the peak of Pete's appearance, the ocean-like affectionate blue eyes gazed at anyone, it will be instantly dissolved, playing Susan actress Claire Frannie, full of aura innocent and pure appearance, let death move the heart of compassion. And Williams played by Anthony Hopkins, is the actor of "The Silence of the Lambs" Hannibal, in this play, he is wise, calm, conservative promises, even the god of death praises him, if tomorrow does not come, today will dance with the music, and then calmly say goodbye, his elegant and charming temperament, the business tycoon, the human father William to life.
This is a movie worth watching repeatedly, whether it is the actor's performance or the storyline is worth pondering, if tomorrow is no longer coming, what can we do, if we have to face death, whether we can calm down, the discussion of these propositions on paper is always just a hypothesis, such an important proposition as life, old age, illness and death is only when it really falls on themselves, do you know what it feels, you know what you have to choose, and the feeling of not being physically affected is a paper talk.
Perhaps not knowing which day the god of death will come is a kind of care in the dark, after all, not everyone has the courage to face such a difficult evaluation, cherish the present and have an unknowable future, live well, like never die.
