Now, scraping by with voice overs for commercials, Lee learns that he has a terminal prognosis of pancreatic cancer. Unable to bring himself to tell anyone about it, especially his estranged family, Lee can only brood alone as troubling, yet inspiring, dreams haunt him. Things change when he meets Charlotte Dylan, a stand-up comedian who becomes a lover who inadvertently jump-starts his public profile. Now facing a profound emotional conflict of having a potential career comeback even as his imminent death is staring him in the face, Lee must finally come to terms with both realities when he finally confesses his situation to the one person he can.
精彩短评
·试图做得emotional一些,但结果就是各个部分感觉都很割裂。结尾的形式还不错。
·黑暗中将要放弃却错手点燃了烟花,灿烂的烟火终究会褪去,但点燃的内心已足够走出黑暗。超级低音炮只能嫉妒了。细腻的处理,精湛的演技,催泪。Ali Wong 客串。
·已知结局的谢幕,给一代银幕英雄的情书。
