1 The protagonist's name
Griffin is the Griffin in Greek mythology, which has always been a symbol of the most powerful animal. It has the head of an eagle, the front legs and wings of an eagle, and the hind legs and tail of a lion, so the Gryphon The beast has the power of heaven and earth at the same time. Needless to say, Phoenix is ​​a phoenix that was reborn from the ashes of five hundred years. The director arranged these two names on a pair of men and women who are terminally ill and are about to die. The contrast also illustrates the theme: We are human beings, we will be injured, we will grow old and die. How to grasp this life is the most important thing.

2 Seeing the truth in ordinary places
Before learning that they have cancer, Griffin and Phoenix are the city An ordinary member of middle-aged men and women, stable, rational, and successful in their careers. The terminal illness changed their lives, they began to think about the proposition of death, and they got to know each other. The cherishing of the last life and the thirst for love made them like Like young men and women, love is like thunder and fire.
I always feel that this film is not about love, but about the attitude towards death. How to laugh at life, how to embrace the sunshine every morning calmly, how to give everyone a A bright smile. Treat every day as the last day, and live a happy and fulfilling life.

3 Music and scenes
like "Hey man, now you're living" in the title, and "Breathe (2AM)" in about 28 minutes, Other episodes are also very nice. It is worth mentioning that the song Breathe has beenIt is used as an interlude in many American dramas and movies, which shows the charm of this song. The
film is full of fresh and fresh scenery from beginning to end: the long and bright white hospital corridor, the streets full of sunlight and fallen leaves, like oil paintings Mountain scenery. There is no smell of death or sadness at all, but there is warmth, sunshine, and love that can overcome the fear of death.
