Seeking TN.jpg
148KB, 1024x768px
So my mom is dealing with terminal cancer. The doctor says it could be days or a few weeks. She likes watching a movie at the end of her day(she's still very functioning. The way the cancer will take her out is obstructed airway, So she wont actually be alive long enough to get sickly and weak)
I'm looking for movies that are about people dealing with inevitable death, and making peace with it, but aren't depressing as fuck(preferably NOT with cancer themes). The one that came to my mind instantly was "seeking a friend for the end of the world", which we watched together last night and she enjoyed.

Can /tv/ suggest any others?

wouldn't you want to watch something else?

Melancholia

>>84913466
Ikiru. Sadly this one deals with Cancer but it's a hell of a movie. Seen it multiple times through my life and always take something from it.
>>
>>84913568
Yeah, i pitched "seeking a friend" to her because she had watched melancholia last year together.

>>84913534
She's pretty well adjusted and accepting of it, and i'm really just trying to put her at ease with the reality.

I'm sorry anon, I lived the same thing you're going through, it's a torment for everyone involved.

Oh no kidding. Its literally the worst thing i have dealt with in my entire life. I watched "game of tones" - futurama a few days before i got the news, and having that in my mind certainly helped me realize what little time i have left with her is precious. She isnt that old either.... a few months away from 60.

>>84913949
Yeah, i dont think we have enough time to get through those. She isnt too keen on movies over 2 hours, so that'd take ~6 days if she does half a movie per day(assuming we go with extended).
>>
>>84913691
Great first half, shit second

>>84913466
Not sure if it's the kind of thing you're after, but Swiss Army Man was a quirky movie that has a big theme around death - enjoyed it thoroughly

Can't wait for your mom to die. Not your blog faggot.

Imagine having to suffer more Hollywood shit in your final days.
Try a kino or two, OP. Maybe some Bergman?

Dont watch movies anon spend time with her
>>
>>84916027
Its just what we do what she relaxes at the end of the day. If anything her days are too busy for me. But she is determined to get a bunch of things done, and patch up a few conflicts before shes done.

>>84915722
This almost looks perfect, if not for the cancer thing.

You guys know i'm checking these out on imdb first, right? I'm not just blindly torrenting them or queuing them on netflix.

>>84914213
Eh, the fact that i got you to make a post shows you care, albeit a tiny bit, so thanks.
>>
>>84916027
You know you can watch a movie with someone else while talking to them about it right?

Anyway I'm legit sorry for you mom OP. Recently Lost City of Z kind of was about death and our search for a greater meaning. It's not really depressing and the ending deals with the subject in a graceful way.

Best of luck to you both.

This.
What about Godard?
I'd go with Pierrot le Fou and A bout de souffle (Breathless) in your mother's situation, I think.
Tragic and lighthearted at the same time.
