Face death

Harold Crick works for the US Internal Revenue Service, a boring middle-aged single man's life. From a certain day, he found that when he was doing things step by step, he would hear a woman's voice narrating his every move, with a British accent, and using sophisticated words. At first he guessed that someone was following him. He was troubled by it but he didn't know how to avoid it. While waiting for the bus, he suddenly heard the voice saying that he was going to die! It turns out that Harold is a character in a novel being written by a British writer. What Harold sees, feels and encounters is written by the writer word by word. Naturally, his fate is determined by the writer. The ending set by the writer for this work is that the protagonist Harold will die, and the publisher has begun to urge the author to confess Harold’s final ending as soon as possible...

I don’t know the issue of When I saw the introduction of this movie in "Movie", I thought that Harold's world was separated from the real world. Who knows that they live in the same real world. Every time the writer typed a line over there, Harold's fate moved a little bit forward. But Harold is conscious and thoughtful. He doesn't want to die, at least he doesn't want to die so early. He hasn't been married yet. He has just met the woman he likes. He has just found the meaning of life. His eyes are small. It is radiant...This

film looks like a comedy, but apart from the absurdity of the plot design, there are not many comedy factors. On the contrary, Harold is the kind of character that you feel indifferent at first, but is becoming more and more lovable. Although he is dull and slow, he still has a passion for his life and still has a longing for it. He has a sincere attitude towards his life. He burst into tears when he didn't want to die, and he didn't hesitate when he wanted to die. Imagine if your way of death would be a design that would be racked by people, what would it feel like? Harold had to face such an encounter immediately, which also forced the viewer to either stand from his point of view or simply consider from his own point of view, how to face his own death? In fact, in retrospect, Harold's choices and practices were quite satisfactory and everything an honest person would do. This doesn't seem to be the setting for a movie with an exaggerated plot as a gimmick, but as the only movie ending that can be taken out, this is enough. I watched it attentively and greeted his death.

Having said that, I think we might as well shoot a series of films like this. The writer can stay the same, but the characters in the book can become all kinds of other types of people, because it is difficult to see life in such extreme situations. , To help everyone examine themselves more deeply. Love life and not love life, the ending must be completely opposite, even if it is a death. Didn't Sima Qian even say "light as a feather" and "heavier as a mountain"?

    Big love Dustin Hoffman hehe~~~ Although it can be predicted, I still like this ending. If you can predict death, it will change your life for the better.
