Knockin' On Heavens Door

dThis movie tells about 2 people who are forced to live time-limited lives. The two protagonists are initially not friends, because they are completely different. If Martin, a heavy smoker, is more active, then Rudi, a health-caring person, is more passive. However, facing death, both become friends during their journey. They make a foolhardy rush to the ocean, because Rudi had never seen the ocean. Martin says that in the heaven, all people will talk about the ocean, how it looks, and about the colorful sunrise and sunset that can be observed only above the ocean.
dOn the way to the ocean, not having anything, they steal a car, in which they find a lot of money. However, the car's owners are hooligans. To get their money back, two stupid villains chase them. Through their journey to the ocean, the two protagonists experience many funny events and get into trouble with many people. Finally, like the hooligans, the entire police chases them. It is funny to see Rudi and Martin, how they escape from the danger and how they make their way to the ocean, while the nonsensical actions of others add to this exciting and fateful journey.

I watched this movie about 5 years ago maybe. And I would never forget the song in the movie, "knocking on heaven's door." This song remains vividly in my brain like somebody drilled it into my brain.

These life and death themes can really make one think and re-evaluate our priorities, which get dull from everyday routines.
