    Emma Thompson's acting skills don't need to be questioned! "Death, don't be arrogant, although some people think that you are omnipotent and terrifying. But things are really not what you think. Those who you thought were knocked down by you actually didn't die. Poor god of death, you can't kill me either. After a short sleep, we will wake up forever, and death is no more; death, then you will die." - John...

    Too heavy to face. Bland is boring, but suffering always breeds too many profound ideas. PSY535psych of death&dying. Every time I take this class, my soul is baptized. All emotions are worthless in the face of death. Prof is a loving old man in his 70s. I admire him enough that he is still educating people in his twilight years and has the courage to face his old age from an academic point of view.

    Know my heart

    Knowing my heart

    Wit is
    a quiet, cruel movie.
    It is almost Emma's one-man show, from the babbling children, to the resolute university professors, to the same wood-like patients, and finally the still life on the hospital bed.
