To understand the film deeply, you must first understand something about this neurodegenerative disease. There is no cure for this disease. Let me introduce my situation first, hereditary spinocerebellar degeneration, which has no effect at first, like the heroine, it is only the first phase, or like me, in the early stage. At this time, there is still the possibility of being loved, and the other party may only regard your faults as small flaws. But as your relationship deepens, the other party will fall into a kind of contradiction. Although you look bright and beautiful now, and the life of the two of you will not be affected, if you want a child, whether the child will be healthy or not will not involve future generations. , and will also consider whether you will take on the responsibility of taking care of you for a lifetime in the future. Care here refers to taking care of your daily life. When this kind of disease develops to the end, you don't even have the ability to take care of yourself. Therefore, no matter how normal people are, they will shrink back. After all, this is a great responsibility, and it is not a simple sentence that I want to do. I have a deep understanding of this.
Back in the movie, Jamie knew Maggie had the disease when she met her, and the ending was pure bullshit. If it's without the other person's knowledge, then there's the love versus responsibility debate. In my opinion, choosing Maggie is a responsibility, there is no such thing as a responsibility in love.
But I was still moved by this movie, it gave me hope and warmth. Although there will be no such handsome and capable man as Jamie in real life, and finally willing to take care of me, but it still gave me hope of survival.
As long as you live, you can see such movies.
