The experience of losing a loved one is universal, “while still being very, very real and uniquely extraordinary for the individual,” explained the Golden Globe winner. “Of course, there have been so many moments over the past five years where I said, ‘She shouldn’t have died. My mother shouldn’t have died so young, and she shouldn’t have died suffering.'”
This way of thinking was very human, but arrogant and selfish of him, Garfield said. When he turns to “the sea, the moon or the forest” with his worries, they remind him that “every living thing on this earth” is losing its mother.
Garfield’s new film “We Live in Time” is, among other things, about letting go and dealing with a cancer diagnosis. The romance, which he plays alongside Florence Pugh, will be released in Austrian cinemas in January.
