no one can change you

The first impression of the film is that the plot is a bit Mary Sue? Later, after thinking about it carefully, I found that this movie can still teach us a lot of truth.

What impressed me the most is that no one can change you except yourself. The film's hero Will waits for death before meeting the heroine, and gradually decides to spend the rest of his life well after meeting the heroine. But whether before or after meeting him, the hero's decision to euthanize has not changed. As the male nurse in the film said, I don't understand his decision, but all I can do is respect his decision.

Once you make up your mind, no one can change your mind. The decisive factor is still you.

After he understands this truth, in the face of this changing era, what we need to do is not to be stubborn, but to learn to be firm. I can't judge Will doing this right or not, but I know there are times in our lives when we choose to stand our ground, even in the face of the most beautiful thing in the world, love.

Me Before You quotes

  • Will Traynor: Live boldly. Push yourself. Don't settle.

  • Lou Clark: I know we can do this. I know it's not how you would have chosen it, but I know I can make you happy. And all I can say in that you make me... you make me into someone I couldn't even imagine. You make me happy, even when you're awful, I would rather be with you - even the you that you seem to think is diminished - than with anyone else in the world.
