Caring for others is a virtue that transcends human nature. And if there is love, it is not clear whether this virtue is instinct or habit. It must be Cupid shooting arrows indiscriminately, so that lovers regard love as anesthesia.
Before the anesthesia wears off, pull the arrow to save your life.
But anesthesia can sometimes kill people, so the two are forever linked by Cupid's arrow. Cupid's arrow is a poison without an antidote.
Ella and John, an old couple who have been together for more than 40 years. Ella's cancer spread, John Alzheimer's disease, but Ella, who was clearly more conscious, was a natural caregiver.
Not just after John's waning memory, Ella has been that caregiver for over four decades since the entire family was created.
As a housewife, she took care of John's life.
As a wife, she supports her husband's cause, and if John is a lifelong Hemingway expert, Ella is at least half a Hemingway expert simply because of her love for John.
After John fell ill, he became more and more like Ella's little follower. He was always forgetting Ella, but he was always looking for Ella.
He was always like a kid who made a mistake and couldn't find a home with his snot, waiting for Ella to pick him up.
John is sick, Ella is even more miserable. The most important thing is that she decides the process of the two going to death.
John has expressed many times that when his life is approaching the end of his illness, he hopes Ella will turn the gun on him, pull the trigger, and help him end his life. But John only decided the end of his life, and didn't think about how Ella's life should end. Moreover, his sometimes lucid and sometimes vague memory performance did not even allow Ella to judge whether such a wish was true or not.
Ella is seriously ill and Ben is bent on death, but it's hard enough for her to die with another terminally ill life, John. She had limited time to take care of John, and she couldn't imagine, and couldn't bear to imagine, how John would be treated if she ended her life first. But how can you decide to end the life of others, even if this person is a companion who is with you day and night, isn't this a kind of selfishness?
John designed the ending with one person leaving, Ella designed the ending with two people leaving together.
Ella designed the two to go back to the south together, relive the time, and end their lives in their hometown. She brought her dowry RV, a shotgun, a projector that showed family photos, painkillers and tranquilizers.
Even though the mortal past of John's derailment during pregnancy surfaced and disrupted the plan, Ella remained unchanged.
Dignity and life, John can't make a choice, fate handed the gun to Ella, let Ella choose. Ella turned the gun on herself, pulled the trigger, and she chose dignity. But John must also die, because he has long been one with Ella's life.
Ella said: "We have nothing left to lose.
John said: Whoever stole John from you also stole him from me.
