Life is 50/50 probability

Knowing the movie was through that well-known movie review blog, the blogger mentioned it.
Then because the main actor is my brother Gordon, I have no resistance to such people, so I must watch it. Of course, I can ignore my always slightly weird aesthetic.
Not much nonsense.

When I watched this movie, I followed the method Li Xinpin said and brought myself in to watch it.
I imagine myself as the protagonist, what to do next when encountering such a thing.
Imagine yourself as the director, and where the camera comes from to express the story with more tension.

At the beginning of the film, the protagonist is exercising early and living a very cautious life. When crossing the road, even if there is no car, he will wait for the green light.
Because car accidents are the fifth biggest killer, I don't have a driver's license and dare not drive by myself.
But it was such a person who was diagnosed with a strange cancer, and the name was so long that most people didn't know what kind of shit it was. A rare disease that happened to me inexplicably.
At this time everyone will think, why me.
Yeah, why me, I'm a good law-abiding citizen who loves life.
But the reality is that TMD is so dark and humorous.

Then came a series of chemotherapy, some changes in people and things around me, and changes in myself.
During chemotherapy, accept the fact that you are sick and understand that you may die at any time.
Finally broke out.
Then hope to live.

I just can't give up hope. Although most of my life is spent in ignorance, life is good after all.
And when you resist the people around you and they don't seem to care, in fact, they are working hard.
When everyone is around, the loneliness is just an imagination.

I think the soundtrack is great.

Remind us that we should choose well and live well.

    An excellent independent production should look like, the combination of Seth and Yusuf is really a peerless friend; after the ending with laughter in tears, I suddenly remembered Pushkin’s poem: If life deceives you/don’t be sad , Don’t be anxious/depressive days/need to be calm/believe, happy days will come

    There is still humor and warmth in the toughness, and the portrayal of the heart is also very good. The collapse when I went to the psychiatrist and the expression when I met my cheating ex-girlfriend. The scene the night before the operation was very good. The hug and the goodbye from my father before finally entering the operating table were very touching.

  • Kyle: [to Adam, the night before Adam's surgery] Driving! That's what you want to do? That's your "Make A Wish"? To drive? We could be having sex with hookers while skydiving, and instead you want to do something I learned to do when I was fifteen!

  • Katherine: [after Kyle talks to her as if he is Adam's dad and she is the babysitter] Are there channels he can't watch?
