After that, the two went south to Africa and saw animals in the savannah. Originally, Edward wanted to hunt a lion himself, but then gave up.

Because he fired a shot, he was knocked to the ground by the recoil of the shotgun, and never touched the shotgun again.

The audience laughed instantly.

This old man always likes to walk on the road of death.

Later, the two went to Egypt. At sunset, the two sat on the top of the pyramid and talked about life again. Carter said that when a human soul arrives at the gates of heaven, it is mentioned that if it passes the test, it can go to heaven.

Edward said, "Okay, let me try. ”

In the first question, Carter asked him, "Have you ever been happy in your life?"

Without hesitation, Edward replied, "Of course." ”

In the second question, Carter asked again: "Have you ever made others happy?"

Edward was at a loss for words. After hesitating for a long time, he told Keckart about a dusty past, and the audience finally understood why Edward always looked excited when he mentioned his daughter.

Edward said that after his divorce, his daughter lived with her mother, and the exchange between the two parties was limited to holiday greetings, and the relationship was not very good.

Later, Emily had a boyfriend when she was in college, who was handsome and attractive, and instantly attracted Emily. However, the old Edward noticed that something was wrong with the man and objected to Emily's engagement to the man. Emily, who was already on a bad relationship with her father, was of course unhappy, insisted on marrying a man, and did not invite Edward to the wedding.

After getting married, the man's true nature is exposed and he starts beating Emily. When Emily and Edward complained, she stupidly defended the man. It wasn't until Emily was beaten for the second time that Edward couldn't help it anymore and took action himself, asking the people of the underworld to beat the man half to death, so that he never dared to appear in Emily's life again.

"What's her reaction to that?" Carter asked.

Edward said lonely: "Not only did she call my name in the most vicious language, but she also said that her father was dead. ”

After saying that, Edward laughed at himself: "Not everything I have done has made me have a clear conscience. But if I had to do it again, I'd do it anyway. If I don't go to heaven because of my daughter's hatred, then okay, that's it, I admit it. ”

"Now I have answered both questions. Edward smiled at Carter.

Carter, however, was silent, not knowing how to answer.

At least on this matter, he could not answer.

As a father, for the sake of his daughter, he drove away the man who bullied her, but his daughter didn't appreciate it, and scolded her father in turn.

What the hell is this?

Is the father nosy, or the daughter a masochist?

Neither.

It's true that the father is there to make his daughter happy. The daughter is just a little naïve and doesn't believe that her love will become like this, she thinks that it was her father who made her lose her husband.

This may be the generation gap.

It's like Edward could tell at a glance that the man wasn't a good guy, but the daughter still rushed forward with a moth to the flames.

Years later, when Emily is more mature, she may be able to understand her father's good intentions.

Well said with a clear conscience.

For the sake of his daughter, Edward would rather not go to heaven, this is the great father's love.

.......

After that, the two went to the Taj Mahal, then to the Great Wall, and finally to the Himalayas. But because of the snowstorm, the two were unable to go up the mountain.

Carter's "witnessing miracles" on the list is to climb a snowy mountain and listen to the sound of the mountain. He had read a book that said that listening to the sound of the mountains was like listening to God's Word.

Maybe it's a miracle.

It's just a pity that Heaven didn't give him the opportunity to listen to God's Word.

Edward then used this to persuade Kate to go home, but Carter still refused. Edward didn't say anything, just prepared a surprise for Carter on the later trip to Xiangjiang.

A young and beautiful black woman.

Faced with the naked temptation of the young woman, Carter's resolve was finally shaken. He tries to find passion in the young woman, but is defeated by the obsession in his heart. It makes sense that he could hold out for decades without other women.

He loved his wife.

Now he restrains his desires, he restrains his passions. It's not that reason prevails, it's that he discovers that there are actually more important things in life than these so-called passions, that is, love, family affection. He chose a wife between the young woman and his wife, and he needed her as much as his wife needed him.

He didn't make it past the level Edward had set for him, so he decided to go home.

Don't want to delay for a moment!

At the premiere, my dad smiled at Carter's decision, just like looking at his warmth for his mom and family when he returned home.

.....

After returning to the United States, Carter did not go home first. Since Edward tested himself and made himself understand the preciousness of family affection, he also set up a level for Edward, wanting him to also experience the beautiful feeling of family affection.

So he and his secretary Thomas hid from Edward and brought him to Emily's doorstep.

At one point, Edward thought the car was going the wrong way, and when he saw his daughter through the window, he realized that he had been tricked.

But rebellious, like Edward, did not succumb so easily.

He was furious.

"You have no idea what I am!" Edward roared at Carter, "I have been worth hundreds of millions from scratch to today, even the president has to consult me, and I have dinner with the royal family! Do you think this can make my life more meaningful? can change my ???"

Edward sneered, "What do you think things should go?" I knocked on the door, and she opened it. She was surprised at first, and then she started to get angry, but I also want to say how much I love her, how much I miss her? By the way, I'm going to die, that's why I came to you, I just don't want to die alone?"

Carter said, "Mortals are afraid to die alone. ”

"I'm not mortal!" Edward roared again.

With that, Edward left angrily!

is as rebellious as him, and after all, he refuses to lower his arrogant head.

Even if it is death, it must be unyieldingly holding your head high, stubbornly staring at your eyes, and dying firmly!

He doesn't need to be visited, he doesn't need the mercy of others, he doesn't need others to sigh for him!

If you are not a mortal, you will die domineeringly!

The audience couldn't help but be infected by Edward's domineering spirit, what a stubborn old man this is, he would rather die alone than need the sympathy of others.

.......

After that, Carter returned home, and although the house was not large, it was accompanied by many family members. Edward also went home, and although the house was large, there was no one to talk to, and it was extremely lonely.

The scene keeps switching, and the camera beats in the smiling faces of Carter and his family and Edward's silent tears.

Two old men, a stark contrast.

Carter gave up going out to find passion and chose to go home to feel his family. Edward still refused to lower his proud head, so he still couldn't feel affection, and could only release his vulnerable side when no one was around.

All this did not change until Carter was hospitalized.

When Edward arrived at the hospital, Carter was lying in a hospital bed weakly and had his hair shaved clean.

Carter felt that there should not be such a sad atmosphere between the two, so he told Edward about the process of making Rwaka's coffee.

So, the two old men laughed. There was a smile in the originally sad atmosphere, and then it became a combination of sadness and joy, that is, laughing tears.

Before entering the operating room, Carter handed Edward a letter and a bucket list, asking him to fulfill the rest of his wishes.

"It's not a one-man thing. Edward said.

"I'm afraid it's up to you. Carter replied weakly.

In the end, Carter didn't survive this time and died on the operating table. Edward took out Carter's letter and looked at it silently.

Carter's narration rang out.

"Dear Edward, I've been hesitating for days whether or not I should write down what I want to say. In the end, I thought that if I didn't write, I would definitely regret it. ”

"I remember the first time we met, so to speak, we parted unhappily, like the last time I took you to see your daughter. ”

"I'm responsible for this, and I'm sorry. But to be honest, if I had been given another chance, I would still do it. ”

"Virginia said that I left like a stranger and came back as her favorite husband. I owe you this. I can't repay everything you have done for me, so I simply ask you to do one more thing for me. ”

"Please find true happiness in life. ”

"You said you weren't mortal, but everybody's mortal. ”

"Our lives are like a stream that ends up flowing into the same river. Above the waterfall at the end of the river, there is heaven that looms after being confused. My dear friend, close your eyes and let the running water take you home....."

With Carter's narration, Edward finally lowered his head to find his daughter, and met her granddaughter, and gently kissed the little girl on the face.

He thinks he's kissed the most beautiful girl in the world.

On the bucket list, there is one more wish to fulfill.

Edward felt that Carter was actually right, he was also a mortal, a mortal with joys and sorrows, a mortal who would be afraid of dying alone, and a mortal who would look forward to family affection.

He felt that the level that Carter had set for himself had successfully rescued him. It's like using a beauty trick to make Carter change his mind and return home.

Speaking at Carter's memorial service, Edward said, "The last months of Carter's life were the best months of my life. He saved my life....."

Eventually, Edward became mortal, or rather he had always been a mortal, just as arrogant as he was, and he never wanted to admit it.

At the memorial service, Edward crossed out "helping a stranger out of kindness." Because three months ago, they were still strangers, but he helped Carter complete the list, or Carter helped Edward save his life. This last wish, they all came true.

.........

The last scene of the movie returns to the beginning of the movie.

Thomas, the secretary, carried Edward's urn up the snowy mountain and buried him in a small hill bag at the top of the mountain.

There, Carter's urn has been inhabited for a long, long time.

When Thomas had done all this, he took out his bucket list and crossed out the last wish, "Witness the miracle." The two were not completed due to a snowstorm during their lifetimes, but they were completed after their deaths.

At this moment, Edward's narration sounded. He had always said that he could hear the sound of the mountains at the top of the world, and now his soul was floating in the middle of the mountains, making his final prayers:

Edward died in May, a Sunday afternoon, under clear skies, at the age of eighty-one. ”

"What the meaning of life is, I still can't decide. ”

But I can at least say this: Edward closed his eyes when he died, but his heart was open. ”

"I'm also sure that he's very happy with his final resting place. ”

"Because that place is a snow-capped mountain, and it is illegal to bury it there....."

The words fall, and the movie ends!
