A movie with an old lady as the protagonist.
This is a strange old lady Harriet of different customs. The pursuit of perfection is so picky about things around her that everyone who has been in contact with her hates her very much. When an acquaintance of hers was asked to say a good thing to her, he thought for a long time and said: "If she dies, the world will be peaceful." The career failed, the husband divorced, and the daughter ran away. After becoming a lonely family, she wants to achieve her final goal: find someone to write an obituary that satisfies her. The title of the film "The Last Words" refers to this obituary.
The ultimate goal of a literary and artistic work is to show human nature and reveal the brilliance of human nature through the description of a series of events. Such as Hamlet of Shakespeare, Jia Baoyu of Cao Xueqin, the old man of Balzac, Ah Q of Lu Xun. This movie successfully created such a typical character for us: the maverick Hallie. Humans are social animals. Most of the time, people have to succumb to various social pressures while paying attention to themselves. Survival needs, career inspiration, reception of people and things, human relations, traditional morals, social responsibilities, etc. In many cases, these pressures are positive and inspire people to move forward. However, in the long years, the edges and corners of people's passion have been gradually erased, forcing people to wear layers of masks, hypocritical instead of straightforwardness, hypocrisy instead of sincerity. People have become accustomed to these things. Put in nice words, smoothness is called maturity, lies is called kindness, and hypocrisy is called politeness, so they all become necessary in life. No one doubted.
Harriet didn't think so. She believes: "God has a position in the world for human beings." Throughout her life, she has been examining her own position from time to time. She has been loyal to her heart all her life, pursuing her dreams confidently and persistently regardless of the secular perspective. She said: "Please don't just live a comfortable life, each day must be meaningful, and strive to enrich each day, a real day, a straightforward day, a sincere day. You will be miserable if you are satisfied with a comfortable day." She never said "Today's weather ha ha ha", but bluntly to the point of bitterness. Even the former relatives are so mean to tease.
She went to see her long-lost ex-husband in order to write an obituary. Her ex-husband was surprised to see that she was her.
Former husband: "I didn't expect it."
Halliet: "Looking at this expression, you know that your head is useless."
Former husband: "You still speak so bitterly."
Halliet: "I will tell you to die, but I'm afraid you will drag me to bury."
Her feelings about life are: "This world is much harsher than you dreamed of, and I didn't get the spoils." This "trophies" of course refers to career and fame. Like Jobs of Apple, she was fired from the company she founded. Lost her career and no family. However, she has always maintained that sincerity and always pursued perfection. At the age of 81, she became the DJ host of a music channel and devoted herself to the rock music she loves. hapiness.
She not only takes her own life seriously, but also takes the lives of others seriously, and uses her own ideas to influence the people around her.
Her daughter did not want to endure her straightforwardness and harshness very early, and left her, and later became a skilled doctor. After Halliet knew it, she laughed happily, proud of her success.
She said: "I have a backstage pass for other people's lives." She found that most people are unconfident in life, afraid of taking risks, unwilling to abandon the pursuit of material wealth, worried about the failure of their careers, and caring about the evaluation of others. In this regard, Halliet said: “Generally speaking, most people are idiots, so when you encounter idiots, don’t let them notice your idiots. It’s best to treat them as stupid kids who don’t understand anything. Yes. Idiots have to be patient".
Her outlook on life is: "If you fail, you are alive."
People often admire those brave people who were born and died on the battlefield, climbing on cliffs with bare hands. However, true bravery does not stop there. Dare to face the world, challenge hypocrisy, be worthy of your own heart, fulfill God's mission, and always be a real person. This is true courage. Hallie is such a person.
At the end of the song, Halliet went quietly on the sofa after a cheerful dance. A fulfilling life, a perfect destination. It's sighing.
The whole film focuses on thinking about life, without a little drama conflict. Score 8.5.
