Heaven is beautiful, but I'm afraid you'll be lonely

The last quarter of the movie, I couldn't control the sobbing while watching it. I put myself in the role of TIM, and I was thinking, if the person I love is infected with AIDS because of me, lying in the hospital bed all day long and suffering, and the originally strong body has become so weak, this is better than cutting me with a knife heart is also painful.
He didn't blame me, he gritted his teeth and endured being stabbed into his lungs with a scalpel, and just winked at me when he was done: You see, that's all. I looked at him and remembered the spring and summer when we had known each other for fifteen years, and remembered that he was the first and only love I had ever loved. I knew that even if I hadn't been killed by the disease, I wouldn't be able to live the rest of my life in peace. So when I exhausted everything to complete the script and completely recorded all the traces of our love, I knew that I could finally leave everything behind and join you in another world.
Although I know that no matter how long, you will be there waiting for me, but heaven is beautiful, and I am afraid that you will be lonely.

    Good-looking...John's eyelashes are just unbelievable

  • Esmeralda 2022-04-04 09:01:08

    John's eyes are so beautiful, and the look in Tim's eyes is full of love, which is touching. It's not easy to be so firm for 15 years. Sweetness and bitterness, helplessness and persistence, no matter what the final outcome is, these are the lives they have experienced together. It seems to have spanned a whole century, from the 1970s to the 1990s, from innocence to indulgence to persistence, as if a lifetime had already passed. The timing is great, Tim's actor is not good enough.
