Personally, I feel that the foreshadowing in front is a bit too long, and I started watching it with the mood of watching a thriller, but I felt drowsy and very dull for a long time in front. Of course, the male and female protagonists are still very eye-catching. The black doctor who played the role in the crash also made me feel a little more intimate, so I continued to be patient. The elements explained earlier are many and messy, illness, friendship, family affection, and love have come on stage one after another, competing for scenes. Until the male protagonist finally lay on the operating table, it made people feel that the good show finally started.
The inner monologue on the operating table is very touching, especially when the truth is peeled away a little bit, the despair and grief are moving, far exceeding the horror brought by the pain after awakening from anesthesia. The horror element is only gradually unfolding at this time.
The mother sacrificed herself in order to transplant the heart to her son. I was very moved, and I had to feel the greatness and selflessness of mother's love once again. However, the memories of the death of the father brought out by the "soul dialogue" between the mother and son are a little bit dull in my opinion. At least the premise and explanation of this plot are too brief and not full.
In short, it is a good film, and it is also worth recommending for this fresh theme.
ps: My mother is a doctor. I told her about the awakening from anesthesia in the film. She said that even if such an accident happened, the person who was lying on the operating table and was cut open would not be in shock? Indeed, the male protagonist's endurance is really unusual.
