Movies help us complete another 1/3 of our lives

"Except for my eyes, there are two things that are not paralyzed: my imagination, and my memory. Only imagination and memory can free me from the shackles of the diving bell."

Scientific research, a person is realizing that death is imminent In that second, I can recall all the things that happened in my entire life. This is what we usually call the "near death experience".

Jian Duo in {Diving Bell and Butterfly} is not experiencing a near-death experience, but a "near-life" experience.

The whole body cannot move except the left eyelid, cannot speak or eat, cannot touch the child's head like a father, and cannot resist when the doctor turns off the TV when he wants to watch a long-awaited game. All he can do is to imagine and remember in bed, in a wheelchair. Is this enough? This is enough.

Is it only at the moment of death that we begin to quietly think about some things, some things that we have never thought about before, and dare not think about it? When is the word hope most powerful, have we thought about it? Are our lives fulfilling? Is our spiritual world full? Do we often ask ourselves and reflect on ourselves? Under material life, when can we quietly think about these issues? A movie can only be a movie. You have to really understand those principles before you can truly understand a movie. It's not that a movie that you don't understand is a boring movie. Why are people unwilling now? Watching such a film, is it too heavy that people dare not accept it? Or does it mean that people have thrown away their spiritual world completely under material life? It should be understood that this is the reality, and what mankind is currently facing, perhaps in the future, this problem will become more serious. But what I have always believed is that as long as such movies always exist, there will always be some people who will not forget and ignore them. Therefore, some hope is always needed.

Just like at the end of the movie, when the collapsed iceberg is restored in the form of replay, it seems that Jane is telling us: take
hold of life and hold all the people around you who love you.
When this day really comes, you can still tell yourself that you are so happy and life is so happy.

    In fact, I wanted to watch "Eternal Sleep in the Deep Sea", but the two films were confused and mistaken for this one. "The body is like being imprisoned in a diving bell, but the mind is as free and light as a butterfly." There are strong and optimistic, but also emotional tears, the overall slightly procrastination is still a good film.
