What is the end of life?

This reminds me a lot: in fact, I thought about aging when I was in primary school. When I see old people, I will magically associate myself with old people. I think, if I am really old like this, I would rather not be in this world, because if I am not beautiful, what is the value of living? There is no vitality, like a dead tree, unable to move its feet and facing death at any time. If I could see this film in primary school and understand it, maybe I wouldn't think it unacceptable to live a bad life. In fact, besides appearance, we have many reasons to live well. Second, life and death. In the first half of the film, the director arranged Benjamin's hair with an unknown lady and said something like this-(Benjamin: What if I told you that I was getting younger instead of getting older? In that case, I feel sorry for you. You have experienced that all the people you love die before you, which is really a great responsibility (voiceover: I have never thought about life and death like this). Benjamin, we are doomed to lose the people we love. How else do we know how important they are to us? Life and death here is not just a person's business, but a responsibility. This responsibility seems cruel, watching people around you leave themselves one by one. In my life, I have never experienced the feeling that my relatives left me, but whenever I chat with my friends, people who have experienced this will tell me that they seem to have grown up suddenly that night. I think they may feel this way because they suddenly understand the meaning of life and death. This feeling can't be explained in words, but we understand the fragility of life, and we, who also have fragile lives, will one day go to that moment. The sudden departure of someone around us seems to remind ourselves that death is not a distant thing, it is by your side, and maybe one day it will be you who faces death. Death is discussed more than once in the film, such as the death of an old man in the courtyard of a similar nursing home that adopted Benjamin, the first time a married woman who was willing to love Benjamin talked about her father's death "leaning back in a chair to listen to her favorite program", and the death of a tattooed captain in the war. The death of Benjamin's adoptive mother and Benjamin's biological father summed up the director's interpretation of death: you can be angry with everything around you like a mad dog, you can curse your fate, but at the last moment, you still have to let go. When the captain of "The Ship Will Sink in the War" said this line, the picture was sad, but when Benjamin's father was about to leave, it was so calm and warm, which formed a sharp contrast and Benjamin's mood became more mature. Third, love. This movie made me see love from beginning to end. Including Benjamin's foster mother's love for Benjamin, Benjamin's love for Daisy, Daisy's love for dance and the captain's love for art, it is precisely because of love that we have to make many choices on the road of life. For example, Benjamin and Daisy finally came together, but Benjamin thought that Daisy should have a complete family, and if she could leave, she could not leave. This is the most touching part of love. Think of Tagore's poem: The furthest distance in the world is not between life and death, but when we are clearly in love, we can't be together. Fourth, time. Time is invisible, but we all live in it. In the process of Daisy's car accident, the director used a unique narrative way to combine the small details that happened in time, which led to the car accident. As the story says, if one of these things happened to be five minutes early or delayed, maybe none of this would have happened. When I saw this, I was still assuming that the director would finally assume that Benjamin was born normally, and then they all met when they were six years old, and then childhood friends finally came together, but I didn't see such an assumption. The world is full of contingency, and nothing is inevitable. This is what I have always thought. For example, after watching classic movies about time such as Butterfly Effect and Lola Run, you will find that the world is really so crazy and wonderful. Fifth, memory. "Sometimes I find it ridiculous. People who occupy a small part of our memory often leave the deepest impression on us." This is what Benjamin said when he recalled the unknown lady who taught him to play the piano. That's right. I've always been interested in memory. I rummaged through my bookshelf that day and found a book I bought in high school. There is a small piece of paper on that page about the answer to Da Vinci's code, which is a description of a small lamp with pictures. At first glance, I almost couldn't remember it, but after careful observation, I found that it was a very interesting book-clip-type lamp that was given at the same time when I bought this book, and then I remembered the scene where everyone went to the bookstore together, vying for money from each other and finally vying for each other. People's memory is so wonderful. This story is actually a memory of the old daisy at the beginning of the film. All the stories are composed of Benjamin's diary and Daisy's memory, which leads us into that world. We are curious bystanders, and we are impressed by the story composed of the memories of these two people. By the second half of the film, Benjamin has become a child. It seems to be the most humane way to make him lose his memory, and it also relaxes the audience's experience. If the memory is still there, what a painful thing it will be. Daisy can't have amnesia like Benjamin, and she will eventually come to the end of her life with these beautiful and painful memories. Daisy said she was curious. It is this mentality that makes us calmly face death after the group. Finally, I cried quietly for a long time.
