The Swedish movie "Ove Decides to Die" has a warm plot and a little sadness, suitable for a person to watch quietly.

Ove is fifty-nine years old, he has gray hair, a big man, the lines on the corners of his mouth are drooping, everything around him is not pleasing to the eye, and he has an aura that no one should approach. Such an old man, if you know what he's been through, you know what a model of unfortunate life is. Childhood loss of mother. He grew up with his father. His father was not good at words, but he taught him to be an honest person and also taught him about cars. The young Ove was very ambitious and had excellent grades, but then his father died unexpectedly. He succeeded his father at a young age. work as a train mechanic. In the end, even his house was destroyed by fire, and he became homeless. But Ove, who had nothing to sleep in the carriage, met his love, and Sonia was his sunshine, and from then on, there were bright and warm colors in his life. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. They were involved in a car accident during their trip, Sonia lost her child and her legs, and no school was willing to hire a teacher in a wheelchair. On the rainy night, Ove sat beside Sonia in frustration. She held his hand, still with a gentle smile on her face, and she said, "Do we choose to die or live bravely?" So he taught at school overnight. A wheelchair access was built at the entrance of the building, and Sonia was successfully hired. The little days went by like this, until Sonia died of illness. Ove's sun went out, he was no longer interested in this world, and he decided to end his life as soon as possible.

Perhaps life is capricious, individuals are as small as dust, and fate is allowed to change. Like the boy Ove who attended his mother's funeral in the church, watching the coffin being carried out from the back door, and the people who were going to have the wedding entering through the front door; like the young Ove listening to the muffled sound behind the train, his father was gone; Like the young Ove who opened the broken glass and saw Sonia lying in a pool of blood; like the old Ove lying in the cemetery in the afternoon chatting with his wife's tombstone, with a long-haired cat curled up beside him. Even so, be brave to live. Because as long as you are alive, there is hope. At the next corner, someone will show you a smile like sunshine. The next day, you can finally shake hands with old friends who have turned against you for many years. Next, the next tomorrow, your next door will be lively. A troubled family, they ask for your help and return your kindness, and then you feel that such a day seems to be not bad.
