Is the poster a little absurd? Barbaric, savage and uncivilized, standing on the opposite side of civilization. A brutal invasion, literally, is not a good thing. The concept is fixed, people subconsciously, are accustomed to regard "new" as beautiful, advanced, and closer to civilization; "old" has its own backward attributes. The same is true for the collision of old and new civilizations. There are hospital beds in the corridors, a whole floor of vacant floors, and labor unions that don't do business, with explanations like chanting scriptures. Around the hospital, dogma is rigid and people are superfluous. Of course, all of this, in front of capital (that is, money), will be wiped out, which is not a problem. Canada, Quebec, Montreal. Talented and knowledgeable father Remy is hospitalized, and mother Louise calls her son back from London to visit. The father is romantic all his life, the son is disgusted, and the father and son are alienated. But the son Sebastian still hurried back to Montreal with his fiancée Jiaer. The first step is to confirm the condition. The second step is to find a good hospital. The third step, before taking a step, the father and son have a big fight. The son, Sebastian, who his father called a "capitalist" and "prince of barbarians", majored in mathematics, minored in economics, and worked in futures economics. He is quick-witted, decisive, humble and affectionate. But only with his father, his words are sharp. "It's these romantic things that ruined your family. You ruined your mother's life, my youth, Sylvian's." "I came back for my mother, she raised me, not you, I was Come back for her, not you!" The father raised ten decibels again: "Maybe you are a millionaire, but very ignorant." "I don't need you, not for a moment, get out!" That night, the son will return London. Mom, what a good mom. "Your father changed the diapers for you no less than me." "You fell ill when you were three years old, and your father stayed awake for two days and two nights." "From kindergarten to university, your father communicates with the school every month, and he wants you to succeed. "The son stayed, showed his father a video of his sister, changed wards, had an examination, bought heroin for pain relief, found old friends, hired students, and accompany him. Rotate like a scroll, unfold gradually, and finally present the perfect picture of life. On the way, the father asked his son, "What the hell do you do?" After the son answered in an easy-to-understand way, the father said, "So, you are very good at this?" Son: "Quite good!" Knowingly laughed, this laughter shattered the resentment that had been in the hearts of the two for many years, the father looked proud, and the son looked proud. What could be more pleasing than the approval of a loved one? As a result of the collision, the stronger side either weakens and erodes, or merges and assimilates. Different forms are gone. Natalie, Boreya Press, editor. Those eyes, Shen Quiet, soothing, self-indulgent. It seems that all foreign objects have nothing to do with it. The collapse of beliefs comes from the family, from the society, and she indulges herself. In order to free up her hands, she moved the needle across her lips, showing that her proficiency was no less than that of the nurses in the hospital. When she was paralyzed and unable to inject Remy due to overdose, Sebastian asked the nurse for help, and the nurse did the same. Natalie and Remy have a lot of conversations about how to look at life, how to look at death, and the meaning of life. Natalie said she would die at any time because she often overdose. Remy said, "Young people are the most likely to become martyrs, because they are not afraid of death and can die at any time. When they reach a certain age, their life counts down to twenty years, fifteen years, ten years, and they will be extremely nostalgic and afraid of death!" "You can't give up! It's not your present life, it's your past, which is long gone," the young Natalie told Remy, who was soon to die. "At least I've left a mark. It's enough to accomplish a little in my life. It's enough to explain it to myself, and it will be more peaceful to die, but I have not accomplished anything." "But at least you have self-knowledge." "Feeling like Born as poor and helpless, without finding the meaning of life." "You have to accept." Jia Er and Remy only had a long dialogue. Jia Er, Sebastian's fiancee, gentle and beautiful. French, three-year-old parents divorced. Do not believe in love - love expressed in words. "Life is not built on the morality of pop songs." Yu Jiaer said that the meaning of life is to accompany your lover back to your parents; to stand quietly beside the bed when father and son are arguing; to embrace your lover when he is angry and hurt Huai; it lies in emotion being better than career; it lies in gentleness; it lies in understanding etiquette. The root of the conflict, in retrospect, is culture. Remy, a self-proclaimed hedonist. Books, wine, beauties, indulge. University of Montreal, Professor of History. He refuses to accept the status quo, and with a group of friends, he is closely related to the cultural time zone of his generation, and he despises the civilized society that has evolved from capitalism. In fact, this doctrine has all been beaten down by "pragmatism". He was able to survive in the world with maximum comfort and pleasure at the end of his life, thanks to his son's high remuneration from the capitalist country, and also to his wife for raising this good son. He accuses human beings of cruelty, saying that human history has never lacked killing and destruction. Compared to the slaughter of South Indians in the 16th century, war, concentration camps, and 9/11 were nothing. "Human history itself is a horror history", but people are accustomed to forget it. Remy, who loves life so much, can't resist Lived the brutal invasion of cancer cells and chose euthanasia. The daughter returned her puzzlement and reluctance from the Pacific Ocean. Before the father and son hugged each other, Remy said to his son, "Do you know what I expect from you?" "Have a son as good as you." This is the father's greatest affirmation and hope for his son. It is also a recognition and expectation of the times. Although at that time he had been "burned to death by the fire of purgatory" and no longer existed. Sebastian's trust, Remy's introspection at the end of her life, the two work together to lead Natalie to the light. Natalie started detox. Walking into Remi's room full of bookshelves, Sebastian reassured the door frame and followed Natalie who was walking towards the bookshelf. open. A wonderful kiss, somewhat affectionate, somewhat contradictory, but enough. Sebastian and Jiaer fly back to London, and the days will return to the way they were, but the heart is no longer at peace.

The Barbarian Invasions quotes

  • Rémy: I wish that one day you will have a son like you.

  • Rémy: [in French] Contrary to belief, the 20th century wasn't that bloody. It's agreed that wars caused 100 million deaths. Add 10 million for the Russian gulags. The Chinese camps, we'll never know, but say 20 million. So 130, 145 million dead. Not all that impressive. In the 16th century, the Spanish and Portuguese managed, without gas chambers or bombs, to slaughter 150 million Indians in Latin America. With axes! That's a lot of work, sister. Even if they had church support, it was an achievement. So much so tha the Dutch, English, French, and later Americans followed their lead and butchered another 50 million. 200 million dead in all! The greatest massacre in history took place right here. And not the tiniest holocaust museum. The history of mankind is a history of horrors.
