About death and choice, love and respect, this is a thought-provoking film with family affection, love, and a discussion about the meaning of life. It contains too many elements of the world, but the way of love that touches me the most is the way of love.
one about death
Birth, old age, sickness and death is a natural law that no one can escape, but almost everyone is afraid of death, and people's fear of death is far greater than death itself. Death means disappearance and farewell. Many times we cannot face the death of our relatives/friends. In the eyes of most people, living is the best, but we have to face death, passively or actively. For those who actively choose death, It is not understood by people. In fact, life is as gorgeous as fireworks. It is already the meaning of life. The meaning of life is not in the length but in the thickness. He wrote the famous saying "If the Xiongnu is destroyed, what is the family?"; the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, Wang Bo, died at the age of 26, but left a well-known work "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" for the world; the famous poet Haizi was only 25 years old when he died , how short their lives are, but their lives have been brilliant/splendid and that's enough. In the film, our hero Will was a business elite before the car accident. He is invincible in shopping malls. He is cheerful and sunny, and likes diving/skiing/swimming. He is a successful person in everyone's eyes. Everything was ruined, a car accident left him paralyzed from the head down, he no longer went to work, he lived in a wheelchair every day, all his life had to be taken care of, he became autistic/manic/, and his life was in jeopardy , So he wanted to die, so he chose euthanasia. At first, his parents and the girl he liked, Claire, were against him, but then seeing Will's daily torment, his pain and depression, and finally everyone agreed and supported him. After agreeing to his decision to euthanize, he accompanied him through the final journey. In fact, at the beginning, I also hoped that Will would survive, until once Claire pushed Will to the castle in a wheelchair, the two people on the castle were beautiful like the prince and princess in fairy tales, the wind blew on their faces, Claire asked Will where he would most like to go, Will said it was Paris, Claire immediately said then we can go to Paris, Will said no, I like the way I used to be in Paris, the old man, the fashion girl in Paris I will cast admiring eyes on him, he will invite one of the girls to dance, the people will cast envious eyes, not like now, at that moment I seem to understand him, understand him, my life has blossomed It's enough to pass the brightest colors, it's enough for everyone to remember his best appearance, he doesn't have to live in the world anymore, this is a kind of torture for him, and death is the liberation.
Two about the choice
Everyone should have the ability to make independent judgments and the right to choose. When we were young, our values were not yet established. Parents or other elders may make those so-called right choices for us, but when we grow up, each of us has our own choices. Right, sometimes whether it is good or bad, just because I like or think, we can choose to do some things by ourselves, including control over our own life, I am not talking about encouraging people to end their lives or give A reason for those who want to die, but when you are like Will, living is already a pain and torture for you, or you have an incurable disease, you can choose the direction of life.
Three about love
There are many kinds of love in the world, love between family/friends/love between men and women, each of us loves others in one way or another, we give, we take, we always think ourselves right It's good to love each other, but I don't care about whether this is what the other party wants. I think the best education this movie gave me is that the best love is respect, and it is to love him the way he wants, not to put I think I love him in my own way, and this kind of love is sometimes a disaster for myself and others. In the film, Will's parents love him very much. They continue to treat Will and hope that he will survive. So does his doctor, including the girl he likes. Claire also hopes to let Will survive with her own existence. Er went to the concert/horse race, she hoped to give Will hope to survive, when she knew that Will chose to die, she almost collapsed, and finally she figured it out, she walked with Will on the hospital bed Last time, they hug/kiss. Later Claire walked down the street beautifully/confidently at last, and Will's love and blessings will always be with her. I think this is understanding and respect. When you love someone, you need to understand his thoughts, respect his wishes, and support his choices. This is the best kind of love!
The name of the movie is "Before I Met You". Actually, it should be after I met you. You know what, I want you to know the old me. If you know the old me, then I think you will support my decision now, how much I want to Met you in the past, met you in my best time, and love you well.
