[Movie experience] Looks that Kill staring at the prey: discovering the meaning of euthanasia from romantic love

(There is a thunderbolt in the text! There is a thunderbolt in the text! There is a thunderbolt in the text! It is very important, so I will say it three times!)

Brandon Flynn, who played the role of Justin in the American drama "Hannah's Last Words," originally saw the title of the film as "kill", and the protagonist wrapped his entire face, thinking it was a horror movie. There are not many introductions and after-views on the Internet. After researching, I know that it is biased towards romantic comedies. After watching it myself, I found that there are also moving and meaningful parts in the plot, but unfortunately the degree of discussion does not seem to be high.

The reason why the male protagonist's whole face is covered is that he was born so handsome that he was so handsome as a hospital midwife when he was born. Covering his face and hiding at home all day, he still went for consultation when he was sick inside, so the counselor advised him to be more confident and asked him to remove the bandage on his face, but the counselor was also handsome. Dead... I can't get a girlfriend even if I want to, because everyone sees his whole face covered up and thinks he's a weirdo and doesn't want to get close to him.

The despairing male protagonist originally decided to commit suicide by jumping into a river, but he met a girl who didn't care about his appearance. Unexpectedly, the girl had a problem with her heart. As long as she had excessive emotions, her heart would swell and she would die. I have to rely on medication and medical equipment to control my mood swings.

The male protagonist finally meets a girl who doesn't care about his appearance, but the other party may die at any time because he is "too happy" in love with him.

The girl usually likes to go to the nursing home to accompany the elderly, so she takes the hero with her, because there are elderly people in the nursing home who are seriously ill and lying in bed. , let the old man be "handsome to death" as soon as he sees the male protagonist, and he can leave the world without pain.

Although such a bridge may sound a bit funny, isn't that what euthanasia is all about? Although he is reluctant to let go, he lives in a hospital bed for a long time and relies on medical equipment to survive. Only the patient himself understands the pain. Euthanasia allows these people to walk with dignity and reduce pain. It turns out that what you can see in romantic comedies is not only the things of Xiaoqing Xiaoai.

The movie conveys different moral concepts in the funny, and there are also tears in the laughter... Because the girl can't control her love after all, taking medicine can no longer control her heart, and she has become a patient who can only lie on the hospital bed and struggle. .

The director's little details are very attentive. Earlier, there was a scene where the male protagonist was shopping with his family in the supermarket. When he saw the balloon with the words "I love you." getting bigger and bigger, it swelled and exploded. The male protagonist was taken aback. This scene The ending of this film has already been hinted, and the girl's heart can't bear this love after all.

So in the latter part of the film, the girl who was bedridden because of a heart attack asked the male protagonist to use that handsome face to let her leave without pain.

Girl: "You can save those people pain!"

Actor: "But you don't understand the feeling of watching people die in front of your eyes!"

Although euthanasia can allow patients to die with dignity, it is indeed a long road for relatives and friends around them to accept this, because the people who are left behind are really hurting in their hearts, and they can't say that they can get out of the shadows. Get out now.

However, in the end, the male protagonist agreed to the girl's request, and the girl looked at his face happily and left.

Although the girl is gone, she has fulfilled her wish to see what her beloved looks like before she dies. Only when the male protagonist sees his lover leave so happily does he know how to let go like this. It is really the best and last gift for the patient.

Although this handsome face made him feel inferior, but because he met a girl, the male protagonist found that his face could help people who are sick and tired of the world, and realized that there are still people in the world who don't care about his appearance and will focus on him heart, willing to communicate with him.

The whole film is fast-paced, with tears in laughter, and educational significance. Although there are also settings that I don't quite understand, that is, the parents and good buddies of the male protagonist, they will not be handsome when they usually see him? But I also thought that before the girl died, she didn't die as soon as she saw the hero's face, and she still had a way to say goodbye before leaving. The main reason for the girl's parting may still be that the heart can't bear the excessive happiness and sweetness, rather than being handsomely killed by the hero. I think the plot setting is to convey the meaning of "don't pay too much attention to the appearance, focus on the other person's heart."!
