Nothing can always be there

If you die and
your soul is watching the one you love silently, but you can never enter his or her life anymore,
what do you do?
Do you hope that your lover will never forget you and spend your whole life in commemorating your love;
or do you hope that he will let go of the past and love others again?

When we are still alive,
most people may answer:
Let the lover start again, because I want him to be happy.
But I believe that if there is such a day, the
choice will not be so easy and sure.
The choice of love is always difficult and painful.
It's like Nirvana.

Peter is such an affectionate and unfortunate soul. Before he was alive, he was a brave, responsible, and individual firefighter. He died in a fire to save a good friend. He became a soul that ordinary people could not see and hear, and was brought back to the world by a beautiful angel, watching the lives of people, especially his beloved girlfriend, Dorinda. The angel said that Peter should guide Dorinda out of grief and plunge into the arms of someone destined to replace him. But this is too difficult, too difficult for anyone. Peter couldn't let go of his love, and wandered around Dolinda all day, witnessing how she found new love, and how indulged in nostalgia and sadness. And we have witnessed Peter's jealousy, loneliness, conflicts, and broken heart. In the end, Peter helped Dorinda complete the mission and escape from danger in another fire, and also completed his farewell to his former lover, to the unknown afterlife.

"Always" was filmed in 1989 and is the only romance film in Steven Spielberg's directorial career. Although the response was mediocre, it is still a moving work with laughter and tears. It is actually better than many sensational films in Hollywood in recent years. Perhaps because Spielberg has been positioned as the director of commercial entertainment blockbusters before "Schindler's List", the Indiana Jones series of the same year was the focus of public attention, and it is not surprising that such love sketches were left out. In fact, even romance films still continue Spielberg's fantasy color, as well as the delicacy and sensitivity shown in classics such as "ET". In Peter's love experience, we can get a glimpse of the director himself.

The film is also the last work of Audrey Hepburn, in which she plays the angel in white. The beautiful woman has passed away, as if a glimpse of it, let people miss it for a long time.

Nothing can always be there.

    Sitting on the windowsill holding a guitar and singing Moon River, Hepburn was so clean and old. .

Always quotes

  • Al Yackey: [after taking a distress call from the smoke jumpers] Get on the radio to the Helibase. Have the choppers warmed up and standing by.

    Ted Baker: [heading for the radio set] Libby Operations Shack to Helibase, come in.

    Pete Sandich: Ted, those choppers are forty miles away. They fly at a hundred miles an hour.

    Ted Baker: Libby Operations Shack to Helibase. Come in.

    Pete Sandich: We're twelve miles away. We fly at 220 miles an hour.

    Air Traffic Controller: Libby Operations, this is Helibase. We read you. Over.

    Ted Baker: Air Attack 63-Echo, this is the operations shack. We will be handling this incident from here! Contact the jumper boss at Dhole Mountain and ascertain their exact location for me.

  • Ted Baker: [being serenaded by the other pilots after a botched exercise] This is first place, right?

    [Al comes roaring up in a jeep, covered in fire retardant; the crowd falls silent]

    Al Yackey: Cute. Now we know how ready you are. We're gonna be coming into fire season soon, and if we get a big one - a real big one - they're gonna be calling guys from all over the place. They're gonna be calling veterans, first-timers, guys from all over the country if they have to. And when they call me, they're gonna say, 'Al, whaddya got?' And I'm gonna tell them I ain't got nothin'. 'Cause you're nothin'! What you did today was nothin'! Hell, you can't even hit a smoking oil drum, and a drum ain't a tree! A tree can explode like a bomb! A tree can go up like a Roman candle! And an oil drum don't have any heat! In a real fire, there's heat! There's heat that can suck you under, flip you over! There's currents that can tie a knot in a windsock! And Baker - Baker, you're on the bus. I'm going to San Diego and when I get back tomorrow, I don't want to see you in here.
