Let me be like a tree, which is a cemetery when I fall.

The pessimist will love this film.

The story is very gloomy. The essence of the nostalgic sci-fi packaging reveals the despair of closing our eyes, as if there is a long and deep tunnel in front of us, but we close our eyes before entering the tunnel, leaving only the howling wind. The things we truly love, once lost, all that remains is fragility and powerlessness.

In the beginning, I wanted to substitute myself into the three protagonists, but I could only maintain a state of watching them and pitying them. Like the teacher Ruth, like those onlookers looking at their expressions, just sympathizing.

"The medical profession had a breakthrough development in 1952. All the incurable diseases before it can be cured. The average life expectancy of human beings in 1967 was over one hundred."

After watching the film, I can only think of the cruelty behind this sentence.

Forgive my nerves. When I saw Heerson’s children taking medicine one by one, I thought of clones, and that the plot setting was so cruel. In fact, the whole film was over. I didn’t stare in one of the three. How hurt is the relationship between me, but I feel sad for the whole setting.

The completely British aura and the beautiful and simple pictures have constructed a perfect stage for the whole story, and this stage is like a gorgeous and clean cemetery, and the actors have gradually become gloomy and gloomy from the vigor of their childhood. Lack of anger.

Watching the whole movie is like attending a funeral.

Struggling for survival in joy, squandering what is left before the countdown.

They dare not choose, dare not resist, have no expectations, and this kind of character setting is the most sad.

We can accept all bad environments, but we must have expectations! But there is nothing in this story. It is more like an abyss. Everything is set for despair. We spent 100 minutes watching the darkness of an abyss, and even seeing the abyss in our hearts, despair began to overflow.

It's like seeing my old self, without the courage to coexist with this world, willing to die alone.

Casey missed everything about the farmhouse and Heerson, but she had no hope for the future.

The short-lived expectations that were activated by Tommy were also extinguished by Dean Heerson.

Rufu and Tommy are all over, and so is Heerson. What can survive is only a short memory before the end.

Seeing Keira Knightley's body lying on the operating table without even sewing the incision made my heart twitching all the time. The idea of ​​living in the moment can indeed be happy, but it cannot be divided and ended. Of course, Tommy got off. The cry afterwards made my eyes moist for an instant, and the despair in my heart at that moment resonated with Tommy's cry.

Casey, who had always been silently accepting this fate, made my heart tremble at the last question about how his life is different from them.

We have accepted all kinds of settings since we were born, study hard, make progress every day, study, and then work, and then use half of our parents' cost as a down payment, and use our own half of our life to install instalments.

Our contribution was reduced to only 20%. Why didn't we donate ourselves and watched a funeral completely, but in the end we saw the corpse as ourselves, looking around, we stood in the cemetery.

Falling down is the cemetery.
